I've already blocked Hopenope (talk · contribs) on behavioural evidence alone. That account is obviously a sockpuppet of one of the others.

I think that this is the closest code. Note that this is one of two related SPI cases, involving New York politics. I'm dividing the cases up by what the apparent political motivations are, although CheckUsers are welcome to just check the lot in bulk and let the wiki software sort them out. I don't particularly care about the politics. But the edit wars and AFD discussion shenanighans, as well as the BLP issues (We can do without this (see edit summary), for example.), need to stop.

JamesMLane states that these are sockpuppets of Nleobold (talk · contribs · checkuser · block user · block log · edit count). Those edits are far too old to CheckUser, unfortunately. Uncle G (talk) 23:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
