 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

These accounts all were created within a few minutes of each other, and are making very similar comments on Wikipedia talk:No personal attacks. Quack. CU would only be for finding whether this is really socking or meatpuppetry. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:12, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

I think Jasper is okay with personal attacks since he's calling me a meatpuppet. Is that when you use your penis is a puppet? It's funny :) ChadBrunner (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I've tagged the above socks, but now we have .Jasper Deng (talk) 02:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * User:Acroterion blocked . DMacks (talk) 05:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * We also have . Blocked and tagged.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * ...which was created after Sppeakerboxx was blocked, so we have at least two IPs underlying involved. DMacks (talk) 05:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think a clerk needs to re-open this and CU needs to be requested again.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:22, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * I think we should listen to all of these users instead of ignoring the problem. When 10+ people all think the same thing, it is time to re-evaluate. Wikipedia is living. Let's change. Alivepoint673 (talk) 05:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the NPA page should be permanently semi'd, and semi on the talk page for like two weeks.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * and blocked&tagged. DMacks (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You know what, I think we can just community ban this guy so we can have more justification for reverting and blocking the socks.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
It's not entirely clear whether they are sock or meatpuppets, but a coordinated attack like this is pretty straightforward. All blocked, can a clerk please tag appropriately? Jclemens (talk) 02:34, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks done to me. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  02:50, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Problem is on-going, with new socks popping outta da drawer for three days now. Maybe a CU block of underlying IPs would help, but even if not, I don't think it's ready to close&archive. DMacks (talk) 05:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

They're either all from the same person, or it certainly is a coordinated attack; I am leaning towards the former in this case. --MuZemike 05:54, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Everyone's been blocked. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:28, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
