Suspected sockpuppets

The user has been coming back with new user names to make changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premakeerthi_de_Alwis page even after he was advised repeatedly that slander was unacceptable on Wikipedia. Eventually previous users accounts Wipeouting and Academiava were blocked by Administrators but Academiava2 account has been used on the talk page to do his ramblings and I am certain that he will vandalize the page again once the block expires.

  • I've blocked Academiava2 and Guerillero has already blocked Academiava. The IP is dynamic, so a block wouldn't be helpful now. Mike VTalk 21:32, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sam Sailor That's strange, I received the confirmation screen when I blocked the account... Maybe it was an issue with the server or maybe my browser? Regardless, I've blocked the account now. It worked this time. :) Mike VTalk 18:31, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Academiava3 blocked. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 06:30, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Academiava4 blocked as an obvious duck sock. -- Diannaa (talk) 21:37, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There have been a number of accounts beginning with Academiava which have been blocked. I had a look and an IP block isn't possible. I have added the username to the titleblacklist and the article and talk page are both semi'd. Closing. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:31, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Username closely resembles Academi100, a known sock of this user, and user is interested in the same article, Premakeerthi de Alwis. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Wipeouting/Archive. -- Rrburke (talk) 15:29, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
