Based on his history (in the full Checkuser file and linked abuse reports) he has a habit of creating 'good' socks with which he makes passably constructive edits, as well as long strings of 'bad' socks—throwaway accounts typically used to vandalize semi- and move-protected pages. The most recent 'bad' sock ([[User:MogDobler]]) appeared and was used to vandalize my talk and user pages this weekend. I and some other admins have been pretty much ignoring an account we believe to be his 'good' sock of late, in the (increasingly faint) hope he would enjoy being a non-abusive contributor. There is an assortment of behaviour-based evidence supporting our assumption that he is a Light current sock, including his areas of editing, types of contributions, and the fact that the [[User:SpectrumAnalyser]] account was created the day after the ''last'' 'good' sock ([[User:Tugjob]]) was banned for similar abusive behaviour. Nevertheless, I'd like to request a checkuser for a couple of purposes: Confirmation that MogDobler and SpectrumAnalyser are indeed editing from the same ISP (it is remotely possible that a random vandal created an account and used it solely to vandalize my page, and I'd rather not unfairly tar Spectrum); Confirmation that SpectrumAnalyser is editing from a Tiscali DSL IP address (88.108.x.x to 88.111.x.x range). If he's coming from somewhere else, it may be necessary to update his long-term abuse page. Thanks again.

(See [[:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Light current]] and [[:Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Light current]]., as well as previous Checkuser requests.) He has on previous occasions returned under new account names and engaged in positive – or at least relatively non-disruptive – editing. Admins enforcing his ban (myself included) have sometimes chosen to allow these sockpuppets to edit, in the hope that the clean slate and new name might allow him to participate civilly and productively in Wikipedia. Unfortunately, he seems to crave the attention that vandalism and abuse draw. To take one example, after editing peaceably under the name {{userlinks\|SlipperyHippo}} for a few weeks, he got bored and decided to start taunting admins[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Friday&diff=123923264&oldid=123678096]. I suspect that he is repeating this pattern. A few minutes ago, the throwaway sleeper account BackdoorBertie was used to get around semiprotection of [[WP:RD/G\|the Ref Desk guidelines]] in order to restore comments and edits made by several of his other socks and to boast[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:List_of_banned_users&diff=prev&oldid=145347518] on the [[Wikipedia:list of banned users\|list of banned users]] that he was being a nuisance. Only a few minutes before, there were edits from the account Tugjob. I have had suspicions about this account for some time. There are many similarities to Light current. Similar expertise (electronics) Participates in the Reference Desk (especially the Science Desk) Makes many small edits Spends a lot of time on article section headings The fact that Tugjob is a sexual slang term is also in character, and is a very iffy username. Light current is known to operate from a Tiscali UK DSL account, in the 88.108.x.x to 88.111.x.x range. I would like to know if Tugjob and BackdoorBertie are editing from the same IP or at least the same ISP. (Unfortunately, it's possible for Tiscali users to skip from one IP to the next in the pool fairly rapidly.) If the ISP here is ''not'' Tiscali, that information is also important, and may require me to extend the scope of the [[WP:ABUSE\|abuse report]] at [[Wikipedia:Abuse reports/Tiscali DSL]]. [[User:TenOfAllTrades\|TenOfAllTrades]]([[User_talk:TenOfAllTrades\|talk]]) 02:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC) :{{Confirmed}} that they're Tiscali UK DSL. Tugjob should just be username-blocked. --[[User:Jpgordon\|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon\|∇∆∇∆]]</small></sup> 20:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC) <!-- BEGIN ARCHIVE TEMPLATE --><noinclude> <!-- If you are adding a new request for this user please add it above this notice at the top of the page.

Hustle's infrequent editing coincides with edits from Light current using his IP range 88.109.. to 88.112.. When these are blocked Hustle appears. For example, Light current, as {{User\|88.111.58.133}}, makes this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136473163&oldid=136472983 edit] and this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136473466&oldid=136473163 edit]. Five IPs in that range are then blocked as Light current continues to troll. Then Hustle appears and makes these [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136488301&oldid=136487977 edits]. This pattern is repeated, as can be seen from Hustle's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hustle contribs]. Hidden secret 7's edits are more difficult to corrolate with Light current's IPs, however stylistically they appear similar and they type of questions and answers fit Light current's MO.
