 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

The two users above along with the IP user have only edited the No Gun Ri article or related pages and always, nearly verbatim, agree with the arguments made by User:Cjhanley. The seem to fit the definition of WP:SPA. Their contributions give a false sense of consensus to the article's talk page and if they are being used by Cjhanley this needs to be stopped. Thanks.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The 173 IP was, indeed, me, a hurried fix done before logging in. The others are, obviously to anyone following the unfortunate argument at the No Gun Ri Massacre pages, people who understand the subject and are trying to head off Weldneck's depredations, which probably long ago passed the point of needing some kind of admin intervention.

 * It has been raised before in the SPI Archive whether User:WeldNeck is in fact the dedicated US politics account of the sock farm under User:Kauffner, since No Gun Ri Massacre was among User:Kauffner's pages of highest activity. WeldNeck's first edit was 15:54, 28 June 2013 (diff | hist) only 17 min after Kauffner's last logged-in edit the same day 15:37, 28 June 2013. Kauffner and WeldNeck share editing interests in 3 areas (1) Korean War, (2) Viet Cong, (3) conservative US politics. And Kauffner made unsubstantiated charges of various kinds (though not sock) against Cjhanley before. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:09, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * In fact looking at the comment Sockpuppet_investigations/Kauffner/Archive "I have little interest in Vietnamese topics, so don't hold your breath waiting for me to write an article based on them. WeldNeck (talk) 13:23, 19 August 2013 (UTC) - the bolded section echos User:Kauffner complaint at how he got his first blocks, which even mentioned in the SPI seems well informed for WeldNeck if he is an independent editor.

 * Hate to break it to you, but I have already been checked. WeldNeck (talk) 13:49, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * WeldNeck Can you please link to where you have already been checked? In ictu oculi (talk) 14:25, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I was mentioned in the 16 August 2013 case. WeldNeck (talk) 14:33, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You were only mentioned in passing, no check, no Usercheck, it may be necessary to request a Usercheck this time. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:48, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The IP is (1) not going to be connected by checkuser and (2) has only made a single revert. It would be premature, if not blatantly wrong, to block the IP simply based on that evidence. I see no additional evidence provided, so I'm going to assume the IP is unrelated until otherwise shown. Still looking at the others. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:12, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There are significant differences between User:BW5530 and the other two accounts. I would not advise checking this account. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:15, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * - Endorsed ONLY for checking on User:Cjhanley and User:Reader0234. These two have an interesting connection that should be checked. I am fairly convinced User:BW5530 is unrelated, and the IP should not be checked for a multitude of reasons. Sh i r ik  ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Notified Cjhanley -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 01:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * All I can say is that any technical connection between Cjhanley and Reader0234 is at best. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:35, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I am recusing from this case due to recent discussions with editors involved in this case; it would be best for a different administrator to close this Sh i r ik  ( Questions or Comments? ) 23:45, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly certain they're all unrelated to each other. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:16, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
