- Evidence
IP's are in the same range. I first met 86.112.249.4 when he persistently blanked his talk page. We clashed swords and he was blocked. Then this sockpuppet blanks my talk page and vandalizes the same page 86.112.249.4 did, Dick Trickle. Then he also blanks his own talk page. And then, the most damning evidence of all, he seems to admit it here [1] If you check the contribs, they keep on admitting it! Certainly sir.

The socks keep on comin... Cheers, JetLover (talk) 00:03, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't reviewed any of the evidence, but doesn't this look like a case of dynamic IPs rather than sock puppetry? CounterFX 00:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- He's using it to evade block, and I believe that's sockpuppetry. And this is the only place to put it. Cheers, JetLover (talk) 00:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, the guy just admitted to having an account and says he'll sign up for another. [2]
- You need a faster response than you're going to get from here. Try dropping a note on WP:AIAV as well. If the block evasion persists, you could also request an IP range block (of a short duration). CounterFX 00:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No IP Block will work mate. Ways to get round. and you will be disturbing other "good" users All I want is my banned for no reason account open. Problem silved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.234.106 (talk • contribs)
- You ever wonder "hmm, maybe I was blocked for a reason...and stupid ransom demands wont work"? Cheers, JetLover (talk) 00:20, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. I don't really care about my block. You all are providing the entertainment tonight. Good on ya boys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.234.106 (talk • contribs)
- Wait, I thought your demand was to have your account unblocked. Cheers, JetLover (talk) 00:22, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As you said. Aint gonna happen. I'll make my new one (right now so you can try to spot it) and go away from this bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.234.106 (talk • contribs)
- JetLover: Never bother arguing with vandals. Just drop a note requesting the range block on the noticeboard and let the admins handle the case. CounterFX 00:26, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Good luck with that, in Wikipedia if a account is blocked it must have a reason and if they say blocked indefinitely it is indefinitely, I wouldn't bother creating another account if you are going to keep up with this attitude you will only get it blocked. JetLover, next time you encounter another of these socks just take it to WP:AIV it will work faster than all this burocratic procedure. -凶 00:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough.
- If you don't have WP:TWINKLE up and running, I would recommend it. You can report him to AIV in one mouse click. Makes him work harder recycling IPs than you have to work reporting each one. - Crockspot 01:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably one guy with a dynamic IP. I'd suggest AIV in the future for a faster response. Often the best approach is to semi-protect target pages - see WP:RFPP. MastCell Talk 04:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
