 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Durkc is an occasional/sporadic contributor, with a history of unconstructive (non-vandalism) edits. Eight hours ago, he created three related articles Cable Nightclub, We Fear Silence, and Relay Nightclub. Dengero nominated We Fear Silence for A7 speedy deletion shortly thereafter. Durkc contested deletion shortly thereafter, to no response. About half an hour later, Tommylawless removed the CSD template without explanation. Tommylawless is a new account, with edits focusing solely on music of a similar genre to the type associated with these three articles. Futhermore, in this edit to Relay Nightclub, he referenced We Fear Silence, implying that he is either a sockpuppet of Durkc or another individual with highly similar (promotional) motivations, i.e. a meatpuppet or tag-teamer. I think that the odds of a new user randomly stumbling onto these articles and performing edits in the interest of another editor (when the other editor would face a warning if he were to perform them himself) are fairly low.  — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler ) 20:26, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
