Also, you'll notice that with the exception of Zakapedia, most of the account names follow a theme of some sort of occult veracity (watch that be his next username), as if he's "going undercover" or something (as if the Illuminati, as if they were still around, would be too stupid to keep a roster of what accounts belong to what members). All of them are mobile edits, I'm guessing from the same phone company and area since I doubt this guy could understand what a burner phone is (I mean, he seems to think that, if the Illuminati were real, they wouldn't be in control of this site and again, wouldn't have a roster of member accounts).

Please note: GreatTruth123 was blocked for unresponsively and uncooperatively making unilateral fringe edits, which is when the socks started to appear. Although no single account by itself has since done anything worthy admin intervention, collectively he's gotten worse. The only thing like an improvement that user has made is posting on the talk page. Still, the only times he has come close to acknowledging anyone else are saying "they" (as in his accounts) should get rid of me and giving one of his other accounts a barnstar as quite possibly the worst non-trolling shell game I've ever seen. That and the sockpuppetry amounts to one step forward, two leaps back. To date, all his edits have either been reverted or served no purpose. He is here only to engage in some delusional fantasy of fighting "the hidden hand" of the Illuminati. We do not need any of those accounts, and even if we're going to give GreatTruth123 another chance (for some reason), he doesn't need the rest of those.

information Administrator note I've blocked all of the above confirmed sockpuppets, and changed their userpages to reflect CU confirmation. I'm marking this for closure. -- Atama頭 22:38, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I blocked the master indefinitely. This use of alternate accounts to evade the block is persistent, willful, and when combined with their bizarre fantasy (game?) of using Wikipedia to take on The Illuminati, it seems like they
aren't here for good reasons. -- Atama頭 22:48, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply

First edits are altering messages on the page of a now-blocked sock, has the same poor grammar and spelling, and obsession with the "Illuminati" spreading "disinformation" (compare with this and this, and notice the spaces he puts within brackets and ellipses). Also likes to remove "Bavarian" from "Bavarian Illuminati" (compare with this). Same nonsensical obsession with "The Hidden Hand" (this and this). Makes edits that prior socks called for.

This is assumably his PC account, as all of his socks were making mobile edits. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:33, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm aware that we're not gonna block all those IPs, and that doing so wouldn't help, but it's good to have a record of known IPs used and known behaviors, and maybe even catch some accounts created under those IPs. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "the order" from "the order of Illuminati," removal of "the" as before, removal of "Bavarian" as before. CU for sleepers, since this guy has sown plenty of seed accounts before. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:31, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trademark removal of "the", same as before (alt); same obsession on Weishaupt as GreathTruth123. CU for sleepers, as usual. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:05, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, compare name with User:Zakapedia, another sock of GreatTruth123. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Drive-by comment: I've blocked the account; it's pretty obviously a sock. Semi-protection of the article affected might be in order. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "the" from "the Illuminati" as before. CU for sleepers, still nice to have a record if this is all we get. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:16, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The IP's actions seem consistent with the actions of past socks. (1, 2, 3) I've hard blocked the IP for a week.
    Per policy, checkuser cannot be used to connect IPs to accounts. Mike V • Talk 01:12, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply
