User MusicNewz created an article called Musical Dark Horse here [1]. It was nominated for speedy deletion and then the speedy delete tag was removed by 74.76.39.40 here: [2]. It was reinstated by another editor, and then removed quickly by Zeppelin4life here [3] after adding 5 citations that appeared to have nothing to do with the article subject. Looking into the editing histories there is previous strong overlap between these 2 accounts and 1 anon IP as follows. MusicNews and 74.76.39.40 both have done significant editing to the Scheuermann's disease article as evidenced with just two sample diffs (of many) here: [4] [5]. Zeppelin4life and 74.76.39.40 and MusicNewz all have editing histories interested in plane crashes as well, for example here: [6] and [7] [8] (among others). It appears that these 2 accounts and the anon IP are all the same sock, and have engaged in removal of a speedy deletion template twice (using the two alternate socks) on an article they created as documented at the start of this report.

Additional evidence is contesting of the speedy deletion by 74.76.39.40 here [9] and Zeppelin4life here [10]. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 04:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Administrator note Based on behavioral evidence, it's pretty clear that the two named accounts are the same. Since they seem to have largely abandoned the first username, I've blocked Zeppelin4life. Relist if they keep creating new accounts. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

There was a previous case Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Zeppelin4life/Archive regarding this sock, and the Zeppelin4life account was blocked on June 9th around sock editing of Musical_Dark_Horse. On June 10th, Musicnewz recreated the article which had previously been deleted [11] and then the IP account edited it [12] and shortly thereafter Zeppelin4Life (note this is with a capital "L" in "Life" which appears to be an entirely separate account) was again involved in editing the same article [13] and [14] where he went so far as to say, "blanked by author" even though the article was created by Musicnewz, clearly admitting the sock status.

edit- Administrator note I've blocked and tagged both accounts. Unsurprisingly the autoblock kicked in for the IP, but I've blocked it anyway. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:55, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
