 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

User:Changingfilm created a new version of a previously deleted article to promote Johan Matton. All of his edits are related to that article including a request for help at WP:Teahouse. Possibly to avoid scrutiny, moved draft in his talk page to User:007dna's page with a comment to imply getting help from that editor; User:007dna hasn't edited since 2011. I interacted with that user due to copyright vio. More evidence by email to SPI Clerk or CU, if needed. All activity by User:Oncetherewasasheep has been related to the Matton article.   Only activity by User:Jmanagement was 2 edits of Johan Matton. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·cont) Join WER 06:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

 * To me, the timing and sequence of the contribs on 17 Jun 2013 suggests a single shared PC or one person. No overlap in times; all edits in less than an hour.

 * Part of why I asked for checkuser. There's nothing about our policies that discourages legitimate collaboration, though: if Changeingfilm e-mailed Oncetherewassheep asking for help and then created a new account to argue at AFD, there's no policy violation by Oncetherewassheep, even though there is one by Changeingfilm and Jmanagement.&mdash;Kww(talk) 19:17, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I've added checkuser to this, because while there is a plausible argument for collaboration here (Oncetherewasasheep being a clearly more skilled editor than either Changingfilm or Jmanagement), it's also plausible that Jmanagement and Changingfilm are the same editor (note the identical awkward phrasing in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Johan_Matton&diff=560269162&oldid=560268435 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Johan_Matton&diff=560272194&oldid=560270455). Then there's the bizarre history of Johan Matton, which spent a portion of its life at User:007dna, despite the fact that 007dna has never edited the article nor edited at all since May 2011. That timeframe corresponds with the creation of an earlier version of the article that was created and edited by two other SPAs, and. There's a lot of smoke here, and I feel that a checkuser can clarify the relationships between these accounts.&mdash;Kww(talk) 16:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * - on listed accounts - the page moves at are just plain bizarre, and the first two diffs Kww presents making weird references to Film are too. Rschen7754 10:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Jmanagament and Oncetherewasasheep are ✅ as User:Changingfilm.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:22, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked master 2 weeks, confirmed socks indef, IP 1 week. I don't think blocks of the stale accounts are needed at this time. Closing. Rschen7754 21:25, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
