• • Misconceptions2 has plenty of experience with sock-puppetry in-public (noticeboards, AfDs, etc). He has creator, or largely contributed, to Muhammad and assassinations, which was speedy-deleted. The same article was created again under List of killings of Muhammad by Irvinga04, using an identical style as Misconceptions2's, here.
  • The new article's AfD has multiple random votes (IPs), which is the same attitude of previous incidents with Misconceptions2 and his proven socks, just like a similar AfD. The older article's AfD was closed in one day, so Misconceptions2 only used one sock: Mirroryou1.
  • MrSantaClaws made the exact same edit with the same summary of Misconceptions2's previous edit here, while the sockmater was indefinitely blocked. Note: This alleged sock also voted on the new article's AfD, above. ~ AdvertAdam ^talk 02:04, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Aside from the AfD, there are no articles which all of these accounts have edited, but several of them overlap with at least one other, generally in substance as well as location (eg. Misconceptions2 and 86.170.120.224 at Talk:Islam both focusing on whether or not "Islam" is derived from the same root as "salaam," Irvinga04 and 86.170.120.224 both removing "far-right" from English Defence League). 71.207.217.11 has made no edits apart from the AfD, but that's suspicious in and of itself; 24.62.162.28 has a couple of other edits which are problematic for different reasons, but is less likely than the others to be a sock of this particular user. (Note that MrSantaClaws's edit to The Farewell Sermon, linked above, also contains the same spelling error in the edit sum as Misconceptions2's, besides being the same.) –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 06:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

•  Clerk endorsed - Misconceptions2 has been pushing for an unblock, so let's see if these accounts are his. There won't be a comment on the IPs. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 13:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
