 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

It appears these users are all the same person, as they engage in identical behaviour across tens of pages, often the same pages.

The identical behaviour is the editing of articles for films and television shows stating that various publication houses (especially "Shout! Factory") have "announced a dvd release" of the show/film, with no clarification (what kind of a release, and when), or references.

All ip addresses are based in the same area of Texas, USA.

The editing of these articles is destructive, as it adds unverified, and demonstrably false claims to a great many articles.

My research of these releases has universally shon both the announcement and "release" to be non-existant. Jamesdonwiki (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

 * This isn't sockpuppetry. Many of the contribs on IPs are stale and this just reflects that they were using different IPs across a good period of time. Closing.
