At the very least, this is a DUCK. I do believe, however, based on the evidence that they are the same user and Joseph Prasad is using yet another sock account. Request check for sleepers. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:02, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

I said it once and I'm going to confirm it again. I'm not Joseph Prasad, I'm letting you guy's know that, just to clear things up here. I have no idea who he is, and I've never heard of that user name in my life. I never had that account here before, I already confirmed it on another sockpuppet discussion page, because there was also another sock puppet discusstion about me on another page in the past. In that one, everyone thought I was Atomic Meltdown, but I'm not. I don't understand why everyone keeps accusing me of being another user/same person.I'm not that user at all. I already confirmed it before. FrozenFan2 ( talk) 23:09, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Editing same articles as Joseph Prasad and IP sock; edit warring behavior very similar; same use and non-use of edit summaries; edit warring over genres; account created the same day Prasad was blocked on March 15, 2015.
Looks like a duck, but I believe the block log timeline and articles edited evidence points squarely at sockmaster Joseph Prasad for block-evasion. Requesting C/U and check for sleepers as this account was created five months ago. It seems likely there are more on standby and with the suspected sock account now blocked, at least one of them will probably come out of dormancy. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:00, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Joseph Prasad was blocked indefinitely on January 29, 2016 for violation of sockpuppetry and, from what it seems in the blocking admin's notes, WP:NOTHERE. A week later, the Jones210 account was created at 22:51 on February 5, 2016.
This does seem like a strong duck, but I am confident a CU will reveal them to be the same individual. Requesting CU as well as a check for sleepers and other accounts also currently being used because of Joseph Prasad's history of sockpuppetry when blocked. Am pinging Amanda as the last admin to block and review the most recent SPI for Prasad as well as Jezebel's Ponyo, Swarm, Kww, and Bbb23 for their familiarity with the blocked user's editing habits, block history, and previous socking. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 17:10, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Not again. Is there any way that an administrator can stop account creation from his IP range?

Here we go again.
Evidence is as follows:
Requesting CU and check for other accounts and sleepers because of this user's history of used socks and sleepers created. As well, because there is a three week lapse in editing in this account's history, I believe it likely there is another sock account also being used.

Duck, duck, goose. Can something be done here that will be long-lasting? A WP:LTA permaban, rangeblock, something? He's obviously going to keep coming back over unless something more is done.
As always, asking for CU and check for sleepers as he's also known for creating those. Pinging Mike V, Ponyo and Bbb23 as being all too familiar with this kid and his refusal to go away - hoping for a quick resolution and block. He's moving quickly with this sock account and making a lot of edits, better to nip it in the bud ASAP than let him continue disrupting unfettered while getting more editing satisfaction. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:42, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Do we really need to keep compiling mountains of the same evidence for this serial sock creator to be blocked each time he creates a new one? (that was mostly sarcastic and rhetorical, by the way - I know how the process needs to work)
Because I am short on time at the moment and would like to see this obvious sock blocked ASAP, I am giving these two pieces of evidence: account created about nine hours after the latest sock was blocked; two of the edits made was to revert my G5 revert of their revert, etc. [23], [24] I'm sure there will be more of these G5 re-reverts to come, as that is how this sockmaster rolls.
And this is a weird: the sock created another sock as the sock? [25] I'll leave that for the reviewing admins and CU to sort out.
Tedious, simply quite boring and tedious. Would love to see a community ban/LTA ban of this individual as well as a range-block, if possible. It's apparent Joseph Prasad gets a kick out of being an irritation and making all of us run around and chase him. His preschool-like antics are getting more and more disruptive. Something permanent needs to be done, it would seem. I beseech admins to make a bold move in regard to him. He's not going to be stopped until something is done on our end to stop him.
Again, in the hope of having this taken care of soon before more disruption occurs, pinging those most familiar with this irritation: Bbb23, Ponyo, Mike V. Requesting CU, check for sleepers, blah, blah, blah. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:57, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
I have no problem with not mentioning it again, Bbb23, now that you've acknowledged you have seen my request and that nothing along those lines can be done. That said, it would have been more appropriate for you to say earlier that it wasn't possible when I first mentioned it, rather than completely ignoring my previous requests/queries on the subject. One of the biggest problems I've noted in regard to non-admin/admin relations and communication is that admins often ignore valid questions and requests from non-admins, as if we are annoying children, to be seen but not heard or paid attention to. I asked a question, you didn't answer it, therefore I felt I had every right and reason to ask the same thing again. Not answering is bad enough, but it's disrespectful and rude when you later chastise the person asking the question more than once because you didn't take the time to answer in the first place. Had you or someone else responded before, I wouldn't have had to repeat myself. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:33, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
