 * Suspected sockpuppets

 * Editor interaction utility


 * User:Usamaabid1, block evasion account, created shortly after puppeteer received level 3 warning for removing maintenance templates to Farid Khan. A few minutes after puppeteer removed speedy deletion tag in this edit, sock deleted speedy tag again this edit, claiming "it's not an autobiography", as in this edit by sock, with nearly identical edit summary to this edit by puppeteer a few hours later.

 * Most of sock's subsequent edits have been to resume puppeteer's removal of the maintenance templates, e.g. this edit, which has an edit summary very close to the wording used in this keep rationale on the article's talk page.


 * Sockpuppet also replaced "which" tag in this edit, with identical wording to that used in this edit by puppeteer the day before. Captain Conundrum (talk) 11:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Sock complains about XLinkbot deleting ELs in this edit on his own talk page. Five minutes later, puppeteer makes identical complaint on this editor's talk page and on mine. Captain Conundrum (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2013 (UTC)


 * User:AdamLukeDocker, block evasion account created 2 hours after puppeteer and first sock were blocked. Admin who blocked them deleted Farid Khan, then restored an earlier version, which was a redirect. Sock's first edits were to convert the redirect to an article almost identical to the deleted version. He then edit-wars over this for two hours, as detailed in WP:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring. The article has been reverted and indefinitely protected.

 * WP:DUCK. I have blocked Docker, Daniel Case has blocked Usamaabid1. However, a checkuser in case of sleepers would be welcome.

 * For what it's worth the three accounts are ✅. I don't see any sleepers, however given the complete lack of sophistication I suspect they'll just keep popping up using a new IP and they'll be easy enough to spot and block.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 02:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
