Evidence submitted by Cirt
Block evasion. Violation of multiple sections of WP:ARBSCI, notably restrictions on multiple accounts, and restrictions on use of open proxies and disclosure of Church of Scientology-controlled IPs and managed sock accounts.
- AlexJohnTorres12 (talk · contribs) -- spam/promo at article on leader of Church of Scientology, example includes,
- JessaRinaldi (talk · contribs) -- Blocked for violations of WP:BLP policy, on page on critic of Scientology,
- Whoismarty (talk · contribs) -- Blocked for violations of WP:BLP on Scientology critic article page,
- Johnalexwood (talk · contribs) -- Prior block for use of non reliable sources on WP:BLP pages within Scientology topic,
- Monsignore (talk · contribs) -- Removal of links to subject's website, on article about Scientology critic,
- MrSimmonds (talk · contribs) -- Removal of subject's own blog from article about subject, who is a Scientology critic
- Jimgreensboro (talk · contribs) -- Additions of primary-sourced-Church of Scientology-material and promotional webpages, to article on Scientology spokesperson
- Jbsweden9 (talk · contribs) -- Blocked, for using Misplaced Pages for spam/advertising, removing critical content about Scientology across multiple pages
- Fairyday (talk · contribs) -- Page blanking, removal of sourced (critical) content from Scientology article, example,
Most likely that most, if not all, of these accounts, have used forms of technical IP usage which violates WP:ARBSCI. -- Cirt (talk) 04:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Note: If not Shutterbug (talk · contribs), some of these accounts may also be tied with technical data correlations to another sockmaster on Scientology topic, that of banned user DavidYork71 (talk · contribs). -- Cirt (talk) 04:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users
Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
Confirmed the following as one user:
- AlexJohnTorres12 (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- JessaRinaldi (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
Also Confirmed the following as one user:
- MrSimmonds (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Mike Greenwood (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Monsignore (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- Jimgreensboro (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
It appears that these two groups of users are 
Unrelated. No open proxies as far as I can tell, just a lot of mobile editing, which makes it harder to connect the accounts to each other. The first group of users could be related to Shutterbug based on geolocation of IPs, but again, it's nothing concrete. Fairyday (talk · contribs) appears Unrelated to any of the above users, but could be Shutterbug based on location. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 04:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

- Thank you for the CU investigation checks. This is clear violation of WP:ARBSCI. -- Cirt (talk) 04:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Note: The behavior and modus operandi of the above-checked-accounts, combined with likely technical data correlations, shows a pattern similar to that from the WP:ARBSCI evidence, namely, Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/COFS#Update:_Additional_confirmations_in_COFS_checkuser_case and Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/COFS/Evidence#Checkuser_evidence_shows_common_use_of_multiple_IP_addresses.2C_some_open_proxies.2C_some_CoS_owned_IPs. -- Cirt (talk) 04:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Regarding AlexJohnTorres12/JessaRinaldi, this is certainly against the spirit of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Scientology#Account limitation, so one the accounts should be blocked. Given the JessaRinaldi is no longer active, I've blocked indefinitely. Whether the AlexJohnTorres12 account should be blocked under Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Scientology#Single purpose accounts with agendas is more borderline, so I haven't blocked, however obviously a report could be filed at WP:AE. In respect to the other case, I've blocked indefinitely MrSimmonds, again because the account is against the spirit of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Scientology#Account limitation. However, I haven't blocked the Mike Greenwood account, which has yet to edit, nor Monsignore, which doesn't focus on Scientology. Again, if Jimgreensboro is infringing Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Scientology#Single purpose accounts with agendas, then I'd suggest filing a report at WP:AE.

- As the checkuser resulted in Confirmed for groups as being the same user, should not those all be blocked for block evasion and abusing multiple accounts? Not sure why any of the socks should remain unblocked. -- Cirt (talk) 20:29, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
