 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

These three account are all single-purpose accounts, editing the articles Kira Reed and Robert Lorsch (who are married). Sock1 has been editing since August 2008 (contribs), sock2 only since today (December 30, 2012; contribs), and ip1 since December 2010 (contribs). When I placed a note on the Talk page of ip1 about it being a single-purpose account (here), sock2 appeared a couple of days later. All three accounts edit the same articles on the same days and at similar times of day. CheckUser is requested to confirm that ip1 is the same as sock1 and sock2.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Checkusers will not connect an IP address to an account, and the relation between the accounts is obvious based on behavior, so the request for checkuser is declined. This can still be actioned based on behavioral evidence. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:41, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Problem is, I don't see abuse. They could know each other, but I haven't seen any abusive in helping each other out in a revert war, or overlap that shows the two accounts are advantaging each other.  I suspect 2 or 3 people, working in tandem.  If they vote at an AFD, or protect each others edits, then there may be a case for meatpuppetry/sockpuppetry at that time.  Will leave open for another admin to review. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 06:35, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I don't see any abuse here. One account was discontinued in favor of an account with a different name. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
