KevinMcAllister was created at 17:14 on 30 May 2008, an account with the same name was created on the commons at 01:33 on 31 May 2008. The account on the commons was blocked due to this thread, the account was not mentioned in the thread before the block and had made no edits so the account must have picked up by a checkuser. Their first was to create a user talk page with a welcome template. Many of their edits have been to articles related to Westchester County. They have used mathematical symbols in many of their edits summaries (a few examples [1] [2] [3] [4]), a common Jvolkblum trait.
Adding Hanae Mori. This account was created 09:13, 6 June 2008, and its first edit 3 minutes later was to lecture a long-standing editor regarding Wikipedia policy. [5] Subsequently, it proceeded to edit articles in which Jvolkblum puppets have had a continuing interest. Along the way, it created a user page that looks remarkably like others created for Jvolkblum puppets. -- Orlady ( talk) 16:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Also adding IP 202.95.157.17 (registered in Indonesia) that I am sure is Jvolkblum using a proxy; edits are to Beechmont, New York (recently created by a Jvolkblum puppet) and articles on related topics. -- Orlady ( talk) 16:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Adding User:ConcertoNo.888, a sleeper account that has not yet edited here. This account was created on June 3 at 09:18 (a few minutes before several already-blocked socks of Jvolkblum). A user by the same name uploaded several images of New Rochelle (some already deleted; all with doubtful status) at Commons (see Commons contributions log). Some of those images were inserted into articles here by IP 202.95.157.17 (noted above). -- Orlady ( talk) 16:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Adding
User:Signal52: registered on 1 June; only edit so far was to an article in Jvolkblum's neighborhood (
this diff). The edit added fairly trivial content (a hallmark of Jvolkblum) that was sourced to two NYTimes articles that cannot be found on the comprehensive NYTimes website (one of Jvolkblum's practices is to supply plausible-sounding nonexistent sources), with reference callouts improperly formatted in the same manner as many others I have seen from Jvolkblum. --

Yeah, it's probably him. At this point, I'm almost tempted to just let him be and pretend we don't notice, as if to say, "We know it's you, so stop creating sockpuppets and we'll leave you alone." On second thoght, though, it's probably better to block and wait for Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Jvolkblum (12th) which is evidently not too far in the future. (Can anybody talk to this guy? He's obviously a student in the New York area...) Yechiel ( Shalom) 01:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Hanae Mori is pretty likely to be a sock based on their editing. In this they added a photo of New Rochelle High School (one of their main articles of interest) to Guilbert and Betelle, it also appears part of their promotion of New Rochelle as they moved a picture that was already in the article down to the bottom of the page. Most of their edits were to Guilbert and Betelle, which another Jvolkblum sock focused on the same day. DueAmici was created at 04:50 on 6 June 2008. Their only edits have been to list Image:Great-neck-hs.jpg as a possible copyvio, the image appears on Guilbert and Betelle. In this they appended their signature to a comment by 85.219.9.3 ( talk · contribs). That IP address is from spain and the only other edits from that IP address were to revert the reversion of Jvolkblum socks [6] [7].
Hayes E Recollection was created at 05:47 on 7 June 2008, three minutes later they created a user page. Their first to articles edit were to a Sarah Lawrence College related article Fawaz Gerges [8] [9], which I had edited the day before. The rest of their edits have been to List of Sarah Lawrence College people which has been edited by many Jvolkblum socks recently. In two of their edits summaries they used a mathematical symbol (>) [10] [11], the same one was used multiple times by KevinMcAllister [12] [13] [14] [15]. In this they inserted in commented out form the most recent version of the article contents as edited by a Jvolkblum sock (that IP address was blocked as an open proxy). In the comment out section they claimed " this article keep getting vandalised". A previous sock Fajnzylberg101 ( talk · contribs) had made an reverting the article back to Jvolkblum's version with an edit summary claiming that the reversion of Jvolkblum material was vandalism.

I submitted a RFCU today. The results confirm several names listed here, plus some others. -- Orlady ( talk) 02:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Several of the names in this report have now been blocked based on Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Jvolkblum results, together with several additional users. Specifically, blocks were applied to:
I am adding User:Mintjulip52 to this report; this new user's only edits have been restoring an article version created by Serbenica, a Jvolkblum sock and added a "citation needed" template in a seemingly random location within an article that is sourced but has no inline citations (this type of edit is typical of the Jvolkblum socks). -- Orlady ( talk) 18:49, 15 June 2008 (UTC) reply
Blocked all that weren't already blocked (except the one crossed out). I'm sure we'll see report 12 on him soon. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC) reply
