 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User:Agk1987 admits having two accounts, the second being User:Aganlykesington. But by using both accounts for editing of the article, it gave the impression (for a short while) that there were more people involved in the article then in reality. Besides that, "they" claim to have written this as an university project, while other sources plainly reveal that "they" are PR officer from the Farm Group.

At least one of the two accounts should be taken out of action. And a check for sleepers might also be handy. The Banner talk 18:08, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, it's blindingly obvious that Agk1987 and Aganlykesington are one and the same person. This wouldn't be the first time that someone decided to go from long name to just initials.  I can think of some administrators whose account names were shortened in that very way.  I have no reason to suspect that M. Kesington has used more than these two accounts, and the accounts don't appear to have been used for attempting to stuff non-existent ballots or other such purposes.  The second and third Articles For Creation submissions do not overlap.  Whilst there is a conflict of interest here, and (in effect disclosed) paid advocacy, there doesn't appear to have been sockpuppetry or abuse of multiple accounts.

 * Blocking sock indef and master for 48 hours. His transition to the sock appears to be for the purposes of avoiding scrutiny and his claim that this is a University project is at least partially disingenuous as he has a clear COI.
