Suspected sockpuppets



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

These three accounts are each a WP:SPA focused on Near-death experience and Sam Parnia, a researcher who studies NDE. The putative master opened their account in April and the two socks in August. Bohbot's first three edits were to the "Incidence" section of the NDE article and the next edit to that section, was Alain110995's.  Their edit notes are very similar, like this from Bohbot366 on Sept 21 (their 8th edit in WP): "Eliminated bloggy sources and focused on review article instead" and  this from Alain110995 (their 9th edit in WP): "Braithwaite's is a bloggy source hence I deleted it - we need to follow [WP:OR])".  Claire.Poggi recently left this note on the Parnia talk page: "provide explanations for your deletions especially for deleting information from a review article and reverting to bloggy sources - grazie". The structure of their edit notes is similar as well if you review their contribs - both the socks often use full-sentence edit notes like this from Bohbot and this from Alain.

The three accounts are currently co-ordinating on the Parnia talk page - see diff and diff (the very bottom of that long diff).

This is pretty obvious SOCK or MEAT. Jytdog (talk) 06:36, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick CU.  The edit notes for all three were kind of suspicious from their first edits; perhaps all are socks of some other blocked user.  If they are all the same, this is really bad; bios describing different people on two of the user pages and male and female names, and explicit effort to ping each the other accounts to fake a consensus.  I am afraid that all three might be a sock of
 * whom I know switched to another account for a short time  - they acknowledged they were the same person as Ferrer1965 at User talk:Ferrer19 which was a strange interaction--am asking this because Ferrer1965:
 * has a similarly structured username to the sock accounts
 * wrote this edit note: "removed 2 references: Sam Harris' article is from a bloggy source; article by Dean Mobbs and Caroline Watt does not support statements"
 * userpage is depressingly similar to that of Claire.Poggi and Bobbot:
 * is also a SPA for these subjects.
 * This is a bummer as I had some good interactions with that user but this is really hollering DUCK. Is it possible to expand the CU for that account and others?  Their last edit was 19 Aug; might be stale.  But behaviorally is right in there.

 * While I am asking, please also consider:
 * whose behavior is similar to the others; this would be the oldest account I can identify; has many edits NDE and Parnia (but edits outside that), also uses full-sentence edit notes. Had been lightly coordinating with Ferrer1965 in spring of this year  - see Talk:Sam_Parnia/Archive_1 and Talk:Sam_Parnia/Archive_1 (not nearly as aggressive as Claire/Bohbot/Alain but perhaps the person is getting frustrated....

 * I have one account called hawol which I use for entries on this Wikipedia. Then I have another account (under a different username) that I use for norwegian content, and entries in the Norwegian wikipedia. These two activities never overlap. I never mix my Norwegian content with my English. When I joined the Norwegian wikipedia in 2005 it was not my understanding that my English account was global, thereby the Norwegian user account. I hope this clears up the matter.--Hawol (talk) 09:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Alain110995 and Bohbot366 are a ✅ match, and it is that all three are the same. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:58, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm blocking three listed accounts and closing this.  cannot be checked, but it's not so important at this moment since the account is inactive. If he comes back, we can check. Regarding, I don't see enough evidence.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  21:39, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
