 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Banhtrung1 is an editor from Vietnam. 113.23.3.108 geolocates to Vietnam. The IP has only made 3 edits to Wikipedia; all 3 relate to TFD discussions started by Banhtrung1. Possibly a meatpuppet, possibily a sockpuppet, possibily neither, but too much of a coincidence for me not to raise it here. GiantSnowman 11:02, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Looks like we have a WP:LITTLESISTER argument... GiantSnowman 12:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
- the only thing such a check would do is confirm or deny that a named user is editing from a specific IP address, which we do not do. This will have to be adjudicated on behavioral grounds. Perhaps warnings on both the named user and IP talk pages would be the best next step. Frank &#124;  talk  11:31, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * So even though you have the ability to actually confirm whether or not an editor has been using IP address(es) to 'support' himself in deletion discussions, you won't? You'll rely on evidence which, if we were to AGF, could be simply dismissed as a coincidence? Ridiculous. GiantSnowman 11:36, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Policy is clear on this point. The checkuser tool is not a blunt instrument.  Frank  &#124;  talk  12:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)


 * He admits to canvassing someone to the discussion, so I doubt it's going to continue. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
