 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

The anonymous IPs above have each been adding the same anti-Muslim original research to various articles. They have been repeatedly warned to refrain from doing so by me (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4), as well as by another user (1, 2). I strongly suspect socking or at the very least meatpuppeting, as three of the anon IPs re-added the same material to the same article within hours of each other (c.f. ). I therefore reported them to WP:AVI, where an admin recommended that I submit an SPI case. A few hours later, yet another anonymous IP showed up on the same article and again attempted to re-add the same material (c.f. ), as if he/she had been monitoring the progress of the WP:AVI case. This suggests that they are perhaps seasoned editor(s) with registered account(s) lying someplace, as does their use of edit summaries, familiarity with policy and formatting style -- all of which are signs of sockpuppetry.

 * Maybe; they all geolocate to the same area. This is infrequent enough that I'd say just treat it as normal vandalism, and go to WP:RFPP as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
