(Note: I've posted this already on the archive posts but I did not get any replies so I posted them here)

He has created another new account. A spotted the 1st account a few weeks ago and reverted its edits. Afterwards it displayed no more activity until now. Its once again visiting every single band/group articles and invading the member's section by adding its own opinion of the bands and group positions (see WP:Fancruft). Its using a different style of editing now and just completely deleting the previous format for most articles such as the member's table. Instead its listing their names and positions in bullet points.

I also discovered a 2nd account today. Its trying to add a new message to prevent it from detected and suspected of IP sock editing.

Here's an example:

• Joker j1993 - 1
• Rapperryan87 - 2

 Administrator note An unambiguous sockpuppet, and I have indef-blocked it. However, as checkuser for sleepers could be helpful, in view of this editor's persistence in using multiple sockpuppets. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

•  Clerk endorsed - Socks are already blocked, but as it has been some seven weeks since the last time, I'm endorsing for a sleeper check. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
