That seems to be the lot. Possible ResearchEditor sockpuppets. All added the exact same information and citations to multiple pages using a series of throwaway accounts. The POV and sources suggest RE, promoting the discredited idea that there's any weight to the [[satanic ritual abuse]] moral panic, the use of the [[extreme abuse surveys]] (G4 speedied as a recreation of the [[Extreme Abuse Survey]] with an AFD [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Extreme Abuse Survey|here]]) and Randy Noblitt's discredited beliefs about satanic ritual abuse. All are [[WP:SPA|single-purpose accounts]] that have only one topic's worth of edits, and redlinked talk and user pages. If it's not RE, then I would be very surprised, and even if not I can't concieve that it's not someone else sockpuppeting. If not RFCU-ed, accounts should probably be blocked anyway for [[WP:SPAM|spamming]].

:The following are {{likely}} as ResearchEditor:

#{{vandal|Brewopco}}

#{{vandal|Turtleshell2go}}

#{{vandal|Raspla42}}

#{{vandal|Toswi82}}

#{{vandal|Reccaban2}}

#{{vandal|Nmpras}}

#{{vandal|Burgelt}}

#{{vandal|Tn25dog}}

The following are {{possible}}:

#{{vandal|Msbvben}}

#{{vandal|Donrus22}}

There's hardly any overlap between these accounts, but they all appear to be editing in the same general area. <span style="background:white;color:#007FFF;font-family:Georgia;">[[User:Nishkid64|Nishkid64]] </span>_{([[User talk:Nishkid64|Make articles, not wikidrama]])} 21:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

{{clerknote}} All accounts marked {{tl|likely}} have been indef blocked and tagged. [[User:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#4E562C;font-weight:bold">Tiptoety</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#FFDB58">talk</span>]]} 21:46, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:Msbvben and Donrus22 demonstrate knowledge of intricate ref formatting from their first edits. These two articles seem to fit in ResearchEditor's topics of interest, so I think a block can be made based on behavior. I haven't looked over the ArbCom decision involving ResearchEditor in its entirety, but does an indefinite block seem appropriate in light of the new sockpuppetry? <span style="background:white;color:#007FFF;font-family:Georgia;">[[User:Nishkid64|Nishkid64]] </span>_{([[User talk:Nishkid64|Make articles, not wikidrama]])} 21:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

::I am currently reading over the ArbCom case, and will make that decision here shortly. Also, consider the other two accounts blocked.

{{clerknote}} {{User|ResearchEditor}} has been indef blocked, and ArbCom has been notified. [[User:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#4E562C;font-weight:bold">Tiptoety</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#FFDB58">talk</span>]]} 22:01, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Line 11 ⟶ 55:

* '''Supporting evidence:''' ResearchEditor (aka {{user|Abuse truth}} aka {{user|Abuse t}}) is topic-banned from [[Satanic ritual abuse]] articles (see his talk page). Recently a couple of SPAs have turned up at the SRA page, pushing exactly the same POV as Abuse truth did, and with suspicious knowledge of Wikipedia policy and terminology (Extrabreeze's first edit summary refers to a "cfork"). I call bullshit, and would like to have this CU-confirmed. Meatpuppetry I am convinced of: socking is perfectly plausible. If the former, I'll deal with this via revert restrictions: if the latter we can move straight to blocking. [[User:Moreschi|Moreschi]] ([[User talk:Moreschi|talk]]) 14:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

*{{user|Albigolow}} is {{unrelated}}. {{Possible}} that {{user|ResearchEditor}} = {{user|Extrabreeze}}, based on geographical similarities. {{Likely}} that ResearchEditor = {{user|Baawip80}}, same home ISP from same city. <span style="background:#E0FFFF;color:#007FFF;font-family:Georgia;">[[User:Nishkid64|Nishkid64]] </span>_{([[User talk:Nishkid64|Make articles, not wikidrama]])} 15:28, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

*{{clerknote}} I have indef blocked {{User|Extrabreeze}} seeing as the contributions confirm they are ResearchEditor. After looking over {{User|Baawip80}} I see nothing that would indicate they are involved. Also, I am going to leave ResearchEditor unblocked, but recommend a ANI thread be started to discuss any possible violations of the above stated topic-ban. [[User:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#4E562C;font-weight:bold">Tiptoety</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#FFDB58">talk</span>]]} 18:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

*{{clerknote}} After looking over {{User|Baawip80}} a bit more, I have indef blocked that account as well. [[User:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#4E562C;font-weight:bold">Tiptoety</span>]] ^{[[User talk:Tiptoety|<span style="color:#FFDB58">talk</span>]]} 22:30, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

:As I mentioned on the talk page of the relevant entry, can you check out the following two users against all those listed above as well so we can clear the air completely regarding new single purpose accounts pushing RE's POV post ResearchEditor's topic ban.

:* {{checkuser|68.6.140.88}}

:* {{checkuser|Attafire}}

::IP {{unrelated}}. {{Confirmed}} that {{user|Attafire}} = {{user|Previewriver}} = {{user|Raorino}}. Highly {{likely}} that they are all {{user|ResearchEditor}} – same home ISP in same town. <span style="background:#E0FFFF;color:#007FFF;font-family:Georgia;">[[User:Nishkid64|Nishkid64]] </span>_{([[User talk:Nishkid64|Make articles, not wikidrama]])} 00:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
