 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This SPI comes from a misfiled ANI post at Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents, submitted by Xfansd. The sockpuppeter and socks are edit warring at Yoshiki (musician), trying to establish a consensus of three people, but the accounts appear to be one person. PetePorter and Bluerosenumber1 were both created on March 16. That same day, Bluerosenumber1 made these changes including the change of genre from heavy metal to rock. Three days later, PetePorter's first change to the article was this in support of BlueBloodnumber1, with the edit summary "BlueBloodnumber1 mad correct changes before", changing heavy metal to rock. One day later, Chuckthecanuck reverted in support of Bluerosenumber1 saying "rv good faith edits; band has broader following than metal". The code "rv" for revert is not commonly used by first-time editors in their first edit (!), and the user account was created that same day. I think these accounts are socks.
