Suspected sockpuppets

A bunch of people that advocate the fringe theories of Ruggero Santilli on a variety of articles. The smoking gun evidence is this [1], where ClenserBlastAaa "sort of signs" as Aabrucadubraa. I'm listing Kmarinas86 because that username appears in the edit/quotes of Kmarinas86, but the edits Kmarinas86, while pro-Santilli could be independent, or a sign of WP:MEATPUPPETing. The timing of the edits is suspicious. IP behaviour is consistent with sockmaster.

As an aside, there's a load of blockable behaviour from these people, e.g. [2]. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 22:47, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Um, I very much doubt that User:Kmarinas86 is anyones sock. Kmarinas86 has been a contributor since 2005. [3] AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:21, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Comment from uninvolved editor) Could be the other way around, User:Kmarinas86 could be controlling the other users. Epicgenius (talk) 23:27, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing in Kmarinas86's posts that looks to me to be anything but this contributor taking a rather 'open' view of sourcing, and an over-sympathetic view of fringe material - something I've noticed him/her do elsewhere. Certainly Kmarinas86 isn't repeating any of the obnoxious antisemitism and general conspiracy-mongering that the socks are spewing. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:34, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Kmarinas86 is very unlikely to be involved in this socking. But I'd already added the 2 accounts to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Zkurko. I now see these 2 editors are identified as sock at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ScientificEthics/Archive. Dougweller (talk) 06:59, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
