At Mac OS X, Knowhands enjoykeep has ignored consensus and breached WP:3RR resulting in two 3RR blocks. [4] [5] An autoblock then occurred after he used his IP address was used for edit warring. [6] I suspect this was to avoid the username block.
Today, in two separate instances, he restored some of his previously deleted edits and after they were reverted by other editors he reverted twice to his versions.
[7]
[8] After the second reversion his edit was reverted and
Knowhands enjoykeep has not re-edited. However, 31 minutes after his last reversion
Fdgdf3, a new user, reverted to Knowhands enjoykeep's version.
[9] His second edit on Wikipedia was also to revert to Knowhands enjoykeep's version after it had again been reverted.
[10] These are the only edits made by Fdgdf3. Fdgdf3 has now breached
3RR by reverting twice more on the same page.
[11]
[12]
Given the throwaway name used, Fdgdf3's limited and specific edit history, the appearance of Fdgdf3 soon after the mysterious "disappearance" of Knowhands enjoykeep and Knowhands enjoykeep's edit & block history I strongly suspect that Fdgdf3 is a sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep, created by him in order to avoid a further 3RR breach and subsequent block. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 07:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Kjngjkn has now replaced both Knowhands enjoykeep and Fdgdf3, edit warring on Mac OS X, List of sexual slurs and Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. He has also placed several random and unjustified warnings on my talk page. [13] Based on this edit summary at List of sexual slurs and the limited edit history which targets pages edited by the administrator who blocked Knowhands enjoykeep the editor is most likely another sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 12:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Accounts that appear to follow editing patterns with the acounts listed above, but that haven't edited in more than a month:
Code letter: F (I was told on Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser to use code F for Jimbo Wales bans)
Proof of Jimbo Wales ban: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3APrimetime
I first posted an unblock request on Wiktionary at wikt:Wiktionary:WikiProject on open proxies for an IP that had been recently unblocked at WP:OP because it was proven not to be an open proxy on Wikipedia. The unblock request was denied. The IP address was initially believed to be an open proxy that Primetime used, but it turned out to be his current home IP address because it was used for his style of copyvios on Wiktionary, and it is known that he uses Comcast as his ISP according to WP:'T. I then looked this address's block log and talk page here, and found that the address was blocked for a month due to CheckUser evidence. I am guessing that it came from the Jfreem;555 case in the IP check section, where 68.39.174.238 guessed that this account was a Primetime sockpuppet (which is still not blocked). That case is now listed as "Done." Please check to see if this account is another Primetime sock. You might want to consider extending the block on this copyvio specialist's address. Jesse Viviano 08:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Primetime has been been permanently banned by user:Jimbo Wales for egregious copyright violaitons, yet has expressed his intention to keep returning. He previously created dozens of obvious sockpuppets here and on other Wikimedia projects: see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Primetime and Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Primetime. Most recently he's created Hhfh3, Adorno Horkheymer, and Galassi. Lute88 may be a sockpuppet, but it is not obvious, hence this request. I'd also request the usernames of any other socks that show up in RfCU so that we can block them and undo their damage as well. - Will Beback 03:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
