 * Suspected sockpuppets




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


 * Note: I initially thought that was the sockmaster, but it seems that  was created 29 July 2013, making it the oldest account I could find. You can rename this SPI if you think it's necessary. JMHamo (talk) 15:28, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Long term pattern of creating multiple accounts. Most of the sock accounts I list here have already been blocked, but I want to have them logged and tagged as socks. For example, see the edits made by, a lot of interaction between Adeptzare2 and Adeptzare3. I am sure there are sleeper accounts too, so a CU would be appreciated.

 * The editor is a giant WP:NOTHERE, scattering small batches of disruptive edits and non-useful edits among hundreds of userspace edits creating some highly structured rabbit warren of user talkspace. His excuses on the rare times he responds to a warning about inappropriate edits that are actually disruptive have several times been that he was bored/couldn't find a useful edit to make (his edit-summaries are at best things like "test"). Several of these accounts go back years, he occasionally wakes up one or more of them and each mostly edits own and others' userspaces. Multiple of these accounts are blocked across multiple wmf projects. I had tended to give a lot of rope, but my spool is empty and zero productive content has been produced. Also:



Given not all are the same namepattern, CU might be useful to find more, and possibly block an underlying IP to stop us from having to waste time with his time-wasting. DMacks (talk) 14:56, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Just to give you an idea of the WP:NOTHERE - these are Adeptzare3's subpages... as DMacks says, a rabbit warren. JMHamo (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
