 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

My strongest apologies if this is all a misunderstanding, but I think something's going on. I'm looking at the RM at Talk:Kirati people, and there seems to be at least two obvious socks. Rabi rai and NHkirat have only made two edits each, and both in this RM. The latter's user name especially suggests a WP:SPA. The same could be said for Kirat hang, although he or she had edits several years ago before popping into this RM. Anyway, these three accounts are behaving quite suspiciously, even making similar arguments. Nothing about User:Dhilung particularly screams sockmaster, but the socks are taking the same position and there's no other apparent candidate. Someone is socking, though again, my apologies to Dhilung if this is just coincidence. --BDD (talk) 21:33, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I would say that the other three accounts are ❌ to each other.  Elockid  ( Talk ) 20:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * This does look a bit duckish, and where there are a few SPA/voting socks, there are usually a few more. Checking. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 13:24, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not totally sure what to make of this, but I'm leaning towards unrelated. Each of the named accounts is on (an) IP address(es) that locate to a different country. The three suspected socks all have very similar useragents, but they differ enough to make me think that they are still different computers. There's another account that is sharing an IP address with Kirat hang, but I won't name it here since it hasn't edited on en.wiki yet. Despite this, something is still tweaking my spidey sense, and I can't help but think that I'm missing something. The only thing I can say with any confidence is that Dhilung is ❌ to all named accounts. Relisting so that another CU can take a look at the other three, though.

 * All right then. Closing, nothing to do here. ( X! ·  talk )  · @176  · 03:13, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
