  • Supporting evidence:

Same MO; same age; welcoming self on talk page; shows a far greater knowledge of WP than would be expected from a brand-new account from a 13-year-old kid. Compare userpage with this; compare reactions at WP:SSP ([1]) with [2] (see unblock requests).

I think you'll find they appear to be blocked as puppets, not banned.--Mr. SvMvP (talk) 19:11, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Confirmed Technical and behavioral evidence available at this time indicates that the following editors are related to each other. There will likely be overlap with Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Tom Sayle:

  Clerk assistance requested: The main account seems to be Tom Sayle (talk · contribs). Perhaps this should be refiled?

  •   Clerk assistance requested: Question: does this mean I should change 'suspected' to 'confirmed' sock on his userpage, blank & redir everything? Or does the blocking admin handle that? [ roux ] [x] 20:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear, might also want to check these, per this. this diff from Wafulz' page (I think he did the first Tom Sayle block) should also be handy.

  • Supporting evidence: See: this ANI report. User:HalfShadow has been receiving numerous threatening vandalisms from the above IP range, and it seems likely that this range is used extensively by Tom Sayle. See [4]. A /17 range is quite large; if we could narrow this down to smaller ranges which could still be effective, perhaps it would remove the nuisance from a long-time sockpuppeteer and vandal. Per a suggestion from User:Rlevse, I have started this RFCU. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 01:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I semi-prot'd Half's talk page for a month last night. All the range block possibilities I tried came up /17 which would block over 32K IPs, which I'm not comfortable with. Therefore, this is   Deferred another CU for additional input. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Clerk note: Interesting that there is no user creation log for User:Mr. Secondattempt. Part of an ancient sleeper sock drawer? —Wknight94 (talk) 13:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:Mr. Secondattempt is an SUL account created on wiktionary. Thatcher 18:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You learn something new every day... —Wknight94 (talk) 18:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, Thatcher, are you saying that you would, based on the checkuser evidence of the range listed above, support a 79.74.0.0/17 anon-only rangeblock? Just want to be clear that this is a good idea before we do it... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 17:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the problem can be dealt with by semi-protecting Half's talk page, that would be the more conservative approach. On the other hand, an anon block on the range will have little collateral damage. Thatcher 18:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. If the problems stay contained to Half's talk page, then we shouldn't need to rangeblock. His talk page is semi-protected now. If this guy starts acting up again, and starts causing more wide ranging problems, I will consider it. Thanks. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
