 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Original account only created its own userpage, an article draft about a MMORG developer - both of the suspected socks' first edits were to modify the original account's userpage. Ericgoldextreme has since returned to remove a speedy delete template from an article created by GameCritic (which just so happens to be about the MMORG developed by the subject of D129985's original userpage), after that user was warned about removing speedy templates from articles he created. These accounts appear to be highly linked. MikeWazowski (talk) 03:13, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * - The master is very stale, but sure, I think it's worth seeing if the two socks are the same, highly likely though it is. We can rule out meatpuppetry, at least. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:22, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Just for clarification, the two listed socks are confirmed, but the master is so from a purely technical standpoint we can not determine if there is a connection.  Tiptoety  talk 03:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The master was never blocked, so maybe they just changed usernames or lost their password or something. Anyway, I've blocked and tagged Ericgoldextreme as a sock of GameCritic, and I've warned GC about socking. Hopefully that puts an end to it. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
