Evidence

Beginning in 2008 mid-June, a nonsense hoax with an array of (mostly) similar titles was created and repeatedly re-created by the accounts listed above, as discussed in some detail on User talk:Athaenara#Protection of deleted article.

"Jean Girard" and "CalNaughton47" ("Cal Naughton Jr.") seem to be based on names which appear in the Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby article. — Athaenara ✉ 03:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Confirmed. Master blocked for 24 hours, all socks blocked indef. Enigma ^message 16:34, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I commented out the {{SSPa}} template Enigmaman added. This report was opened less than 24 hours ago, and notification of this case had not been made on the user talk pages at the time of "closing." The anonymous IPs involved have not yet been given any attention, and ten days are allowed for filing a checkuser request. The hoaxer (hoaxers) is (are) inventive and persistent and may dream up many more usernames and page names for the same hoax. — Athaenara ✉ 23:05, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Case is clearly resolved, which is why I marked it as such. There is no requirement that cases must stay open for ten days, and SSP is not required before filing a checkuser. I suggest you do some SSP work, which would be much more productive for everyone concerned. Thank you, Enigma ^message 05:41, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another sock (StockMarket12) and two additional identical articles ("Martinez & Caldwell & Others" and "Caldwell & Martinez & Others") added above. Note: I've never used this process before and don't know what procedure is supposed to be followed when additional socks show up after a new report has had the {{SSPa}} template added which effectively archives the page. If a second report is supposed to be made instead, would you do that, please? Thank you. — Athaenara ✉ 15:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
