 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

I hemmed and hawed over whether or not to open this, but I decided that it would be better to be certain that these are all the same user. So far the modus operandi has been that the user will sign up for an account and create several different articles that are all related to Writtensmove and Water Aproved Records. After the articles are deleted, the account will fall into non-activity and a little bit later a new account will open and try to post the articles again. The articles so far are Writtensmove, Writtensmove (Rapper), Water Aproved Records, and Renzzo. I've warned the user(s) twice, once at User_talk:Wateraprovedrecordsfan and most recently at User_talk:Wateraproved. (I blocked it as a promotional username.) I would like some confirmation that these are all socks. I'm fairly certain that they are. I almost didn't open this SPI, but the new accounts seem to be done in an attempt to evade detection. I've salted the pages about Writtensmove, but not the other pages- although it may become necessary in the future. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:26, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like I also blocked Writtensmove as a spam account. There is some vandalism by one of the accounts, but so far their main activity has been to (presumably) open new accounts to evade detection. I've pretty much noticed these more because I've just happened to be the admin surfing the speedy deletion page whenever they pop up, as I just now noticed that I've been the sole deleting admin for pretty much all the pages. I'll probably leave any further deleting (if/when it occurs) to other admins since I don't want it to seem like it's just me that's deleting their articles specifically. (ie, vendetta deletions vs basic guidelines deletions) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   10:30, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
