We appear to have a swarm of sockpuppets or meat puppets disrupting Talk:Waterboarding#Shibumi2 second attempt at new article lead. There is an ongoing RfC at Talk:Waterboarding/Definition about the question of whether Waterboarding is torture or not. This is a high importance, high visibility political topic where there is a strong incentive for lobbying via Wikipedia.
The above editors are all either SPAs, or other accounts with low edit counts that have copied the identical formatting for their votes: ’’’Support.’’’ Please also check if any of the above match any banned users. Thank you. Jehochman Talk 16:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
User talk:209.221.240.193 has an established and demonstrated history of sockpuppetry related to articles along these political tones, which has lead to one arbitration hearing related to this, for User:DeanHinnen and User:BryanFromPalatine. Details at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Free Republic. These editors blocked here also (such as Shibumi2, the oldest) had also participated on the Free Republic article in the same time frame as banned user BryanFromPalatine/DeanHinnen, when he was socking. Would it be possible to check for accounts on participating with multiple accounts on this waterboarding discussion? The 209.221.240.193 has also played a role in the tainted discussions there.

Clerk note: moving conversation on the merits of the block and its length to the talk page. Please keep it there... --
