 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

I first found this looking at this edit to 's talk page. An editor with 20 edits asking an administrator to "join us" at the Article Rescue Squadron seemed rather suspicious, and suggested to me an old user back (probably indef blocked).

These edit summaries look pretty similar to each other, specifically including the wikimarkup of the section heading:
 * 750editsstrong
 * Editingstrong
 * Namecheapblues
 * Twolegalsystems

Further to this, Twoleagalsystems creates his/her userpage and talk page with minimal text (tet and test respectively) in the same manner as Eitingstrong did with "hello world and .'' (you will have to look at the page history for that, as they page creations).

Additionally some of the more obscure locations these users have been able to find in their first few edits include:
 * Namecheapblues - Village Pump (Technical) first edit, and WT:NFCC to complain about the language used.
 * Twolegalsystems Village Pump (Technical)
 * Editingstrong Jimbo Wales talk page (not entirely difficult to find I suppose) to complain about an article hastily tagged for speedy deletion.

I would recommend a CU to check for sleeper accounts, I am thinking there are more out there. kelapstick(bainuu) 17:37, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
