Suspected sockpuppets



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

After "Adis Mesic" was blocked on 14 June, "Mesic Hadis" appeared. The name similarity is obvius, but both editors also edited first team in NK Čelik Zenica, HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and FK Mladost Doboj Kakanj and so on. If you compare the edits between the two on the latter article they are practicaqlly the same despite a revert in between. Qed237&#160;(talk) 18:41, 15 June 2016 (UTC)


 * It is obvious if you just look at the articles I mentioned above, but I will give you some examples. This edit from sockmaster is exactly the same as this from the sockpuppet. And this is also the same as this (removing the same footballer). Then you can compare how they left FK Mladost Doboj Kakanj after the sockmaster was reverted before the sockpuppet restored the content. Do you need more?

 * I would not mind a block without checkuser, it is a decision for any patrolling admin to take. To me it looks like a WP:DUCK but thought it was best to open SPI. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif"><b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>&#160;<b style="color:green">(talk)</b></i> 16:07, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.

 * Thanks. More info is often requested because clerks are usually not familiar with a specific background but the team must handle dozens of new cases filed every day. Would you object to an administrator blocking the accounts without CheckUser? Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 16:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Admin action needed - per above, please reset/extend Adis Mesic's current 72-hour disruptive editing block and indef the other two. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 17:43, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I indef blocked and tagged both, because I think that's what you meant - I don't know who 'the other two' are. Let me know if I futzed it up. :-) Katietalk 20:48, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Katie. I'm not totally sure what I meant either. Closing. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 20:58, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
