I've indefinitely blocked this account as part of the below sock ring, with this one designated as sockmaster since it has the earliest creation date.

A perusal of contributions for these accounts shows why WP:DUCK applies here. Some of the overlapping of these accounts which demonstrates their relationship with one another can be seen at the following:

• Special Activities Division (edited frequently by all)
• Intelligence Star (edited frequently by all but AbdullahMo)
• National Clandestine Service (edited by AbdullahMo and SFBubba)
• Battle of Tora Bora (edited by AbdullahMo, Obamiac and SFBubba)
• Arlington National Cemetery (edited by EverettMcGill and CaliSEAL)

Note that this list is not exhaustive.

Generally speaking all of these accounts were created in the last 6 months and almost exclusively edit articles relating to terrorism and counter terrorism, special operations and intelligence, military units and awards, films relating to terrorism/intel/wars/etc (e.g. Ronin, Syriana and others by Obamiac; Mission Impossible and Taken by SFBubba; and Taken by CaliSEAL), and an obvious interest in Iraq and Afghanistan (particularly the latter) and wars/conflicts in those countries or regions.

Today User:Obamiac and User:HoyaProff tag team edit-warred at Barack Obama. This abusive sockpuppetry combined with the above is in my view sufficient justification for an indefinite block of all of these accounts. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 21:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

These are multiple persons (students), living in a communal environment (with a common modem I presume). We share many interests and several of us are prior military. We discuss artices and often point out the ones we like for others to visit. I do need to better familiarize myself with the rules.
