 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Each new account is removing the archive.is link from several article. Each one removes it from about a dozen articles. And they are doing it in alphabetical order. If there's been a decision to remove it, great. But sockpuppets shouldn't be doing it without explanation, imho. -- ‖ Ebyabe  talk -   Attract and Repel   ‖ 17:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC) ‖  Ebyabe  talk -   Attract and Repel   ‖ 17:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Please see this ongoing ANI thread too; there is some that suspect that this may be an editor displeased with the results of the archive.is RFC that is mimicking actions that User:Werieth has done to get him in trouble. The socks also appear either have access to AWB without having asked for it, or are mimicking the edit summaries AWB would leave behind. --M ASEM (t) 18:31, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
. This question is to anyone. There are a bunch of other users mentioned in the ANI thread, none of which is listed here. Most of them, I believe, are older (only by hours) than the listed master here. The only difference I see between the few I've looked at in the ANI thread and the ones here is the edit summary. The ANI users mention AWB, whereas the ones here do not. That strikes me as an immaterial distinction. I'm endorsing a CU because I want the list to be complete, and I want to know who the master is. I'm not sure how hard it is for the CU to go back further for a master that isn't one of the recent accounts, but, of course, if possible that would be helpful.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:15, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

 * The vast majority of the accounts are puppets of Aboliri, the oldest account of that group. I tagged them all accordingly. For the other groups, I picked the oldest (or older in one instance) of the accounts and made that the master, using the template that points to this page. I then tagged that master's puppet(s), although the sock template isn't quite as flexible as the sockpuppeteer template. I did that also for the possilikely and possible ones. I figured it would actually be better to keep all of these together even though there are different masters because of the common issues involved. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:39, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
