  • Supporting evidence:
Multiple reverts to insert the same chunk of incompletely-translated, badly-formatted text from itwiki into Autism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Reverts:
  1. [1] (Francis89)
  2. [2] (Francis89)
  3. [3] (Francis89)
  4. [4] (Lennybrown)
  5. [5] (Lennybrown)
  6. [6] (151.51.49.254)
  7. [7] (Lennybrown)
151.51.49.254 appears to be the original translator of the text and the first editor to insert it on enwiki. Lennybrown and Francis89 were both created today, and their first edits were to autism. Lennybrown's very first edit was the revert listed above; the account was created minutes after Francis89 hit the three-revert hard cap. Both Francis89 and 151.51 have a similar writing style; compare their comments at User talk:TimVickers: [8]. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 18:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed - all of the accounts mentioned above. There don't appear to be any other socks at this time, but if things escalate, it may be possible to soft rangeblock the editor - Alison 04:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
