Suspected sockpuppets

Quinn2go was blocked once already because they used the page Talk:Freddie and the Dreamers for soapboxing despite warnings, and made personal attacks directed at other editors. The IP has been blocked as well for blanking at the same page. After Quinn2go resumed this, which I reverted, the IP edited Quinn2go's talk page, providing a clear link between these two. Another edit made by the IP to Quinn2go's message is here. Wikkki fan's message was also emphasized by the IP, which makes that account a probable sock puppet as well, seeing that Wikkki fan has edited no other pages.

And this edit to Quinn2go's talk page pretty much confirms it for Wikkki fan. Zakhalesh (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And admitted by Quinn2go. Zakhalesh (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a block-evading sock of Quinn2go, because the user has a similar name and similar habits. Zakhalesh (talk) 15:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No edits apart from the same talk page Quinn2go has been disturbing.

On a side note, why hasn't Quinn2go, a tendentious vandalism-only sockpuppeteer account been indef-blocked already? Zakhalesh (talk) 17:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: As additional evidence, the name follows a clear pattern of the rest of the sock army - they're all named after people in the Dreamers. Zakhalesh (talk) 05:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
