 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Username similarity; single purpose accounts making identical or very similar promotional edits (master, puppet) at Ian Troop. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 13:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Note to assisting admins: I think this may be a case of lost password. The account I identified as the master has only made one edit, while the sock has made a few with a fair bit of time passed since the master's edit, and has reached out on my talk page for assistance with the article. I recommend blocking the master and warning the sock, contrary to the usual procedure. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:54, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Admin action needed - Indef the sock, and warn the master.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  20:47, 21 July 2015 (UTC)


 * It is pretty certain that both accounts are the same person, but I can't see anything that could possibly be regarded as abusive use of two accounts, so there is nothing to do here. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:35, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
