 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

I may have missed any unknown accounts or IP addresses, but all these accounts very likely seem to be operated by one single person. Specifically if we have a quick glace at specific edits made by User:Dftbreid (see, , , , , , and many more), by User:Carmennv (see  and ), by User:Emmarose 11 (see ), by User:HazAndLou (see ,  and some more), by User:Bluejaygallifrey221b (see  and ), by User:Jonnaalexb (see , ,  and ), by User:Tjl182tjl (see ), by User:XTyler35 (see ) and finally by User:Shawndom2 (see ) shows that these are sock puppets. Also edits made by User talk:66.173.231.169 appear to be the same (see ). Most of these edits are repeated additions of unreferenced material on Hanson (band), Larry and Mark Hoppus as can be seen from their editing pattern which indicates a likely sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. Also, note that almost of of these account's edit's on various articles are tagged with a mobile edit, like this (Special:Tags: Mobile edit). There could be a dozen more hidden sleeper accounts and therefore to solve this mystery, I recommend that a checkuser be run to find out the truth. ~ TheGeneralUser  (talk)  21:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

 * - though I fear that due to it being a mobile IP range, it may turn out for naught. Rschen7754 06:29, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * is definitely ❌ by several thousand miles. Everything else "What..." I could tell you they are all possible but really you'll be best off judging based on behavior. NativeForeigner Talk 17:48, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The links between all of the accounts suggest meatpuppetry and advertising and can be blocked for that alone even if they weren't socks Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:00, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
