The first two users have Alex Ji in their usernames. All of the userpages have something to do with football, with the first and the third and fourth each having 21, which is LaDainian Tomlinson's number. RSA23Sign! 01:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Alex Ji LT-21" and "Madden NFL 21" have in common a contrib pattern of almost solely reverting, and often to a vandalized version, that is, undoing an anti-vandalism edit. "Madden NFL 21" has already been indef-blocked as an MC10 sockpuppet, "Alex Ji LT-21" has received final warning for vandalism. "Football Alex Ji" and "Alphabet 21" have much shorter editing histories, but similar userpages to each other. Sizzle Flambé (/) 08:17, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect already blocked vandalism account Fire Ji (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), which had the same contrib pattern as "Alex Ji LT-21", was the same person. Sizzle Flambé (/) 10:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What puzzles me is that the present reporter, RSA23, here refers to Madden NFL 21 as "my little brother". So this is en famille ? Sizzle Flambé (/) 10:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser request – code letter: E (Community ban/sanction evasion )
Current status – Completed: Reviewed by a Checkuser, results and comments are below.

 Clerk endorsed. Please check the relationship between these obvious sockpuppet accounts for the master account. One account was already blocked per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MC10. PeterSymonds (talk) 10:50, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed, and blocked. I also hardblocked their IP to stop this person (RSA's brother?) from being able to edit from whoever's house this is (I don't know for sure what IPs belong to whom, or where they actually are.) All of the legit users on this IP have IPBE already. If any of you wish to create or use alternate accounts in the future, you will need to request IP block exemption in order to use them. If and when you ask, please link whoever you ask to this page. J.delanoygabsadds 19:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My brother is socking again with another sock. (Anyone who doesn't know about this case, this, this, and this should give enough background information.) If anyone has a doubt, please use CheckUser to confirm.

Madden NFL 21 is also my brother, and this account is used by Madden NFL 21. ActivExpressionTalkGuestbook 19:12, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Since Madden NFL 21, MC10 and ActivExpression are all brothers (according to them), I would ask the checkuser to check them (for safety sake if anything) against the other accounts. I would ask and recommend MC10 and ActivExpression to post, per WP:FAMILY, that they are related on their userpages afterward. This will clear up any confusion in the future. - NeutralhomerTalk20:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There we go, I have done so on my userpage. MC10 (TCGBL) 20:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thanks MC10. :) - NeutralhomerTalk21:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your idea. I have it done on my userpage. ActivExpressionTalkGuestbook 21:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, thanks ActivExpression. :) - NeutralhomerTalk22:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Since MysteryBot is already blocked, it's kind of pointless listing it here, besides for history purposes. MC10 (TCGBL) 22:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is why I did, just for the purpose of history. You may remove it if you see necessary, I won't mind. - NeutralhomerTalk23:05, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'm fine. MC10 (TCGBL) 00:22, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another sock of User:Madden NFL 21, my brother. Listing sock just for history purposes. Can an admin revoke talk page access and hardblock the IP? Thanks. MC10 (TCGBL) 00:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

information Administrator note This has already been done by Gogo Dodo. The IP should be caught by the autoblock. TNXMan 02:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another sock of my brother. Admin, please block as soon as possible. If a CheckUser could come in and hardblock the IP, that would be nice. MC10 (TCGBL) 00:22, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another sockpuppet of Madden NFL 21. Our IP was changed with a router change, so it is currently unblocked. CheckUsers, please reblock ASAP. Thanks. MC10 (TCGBL) 17:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC) MC10 (TCGBL) 17:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
