 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

All of these accounts seem to add goals to football players' wiki pages without citing any sources. The sock mater in this case had been blocked a couple of days ago for doing that continuously. Now, he is using another account and another IP address to continue doing that. On this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GiantSnowman, EdmondCA admitted to being the same person using the IP address that I listed as the sock master. 99.53.112.186 (talk) 18:38, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I've declined the CU request. We rarely disclose the IP address of a named account per the privacy policy.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:13, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * All three are engaged in very disruptive behaviour: they are changing numbers of goals in the articles about football players without citing any sources. When warned about that, EdmondCA says here that "no sources are needed". He also admits using IPs for editing. One of the IPs was blocked for 31 hours, but the block expired. He continued the same behavior after the bloc expired . . All three should be blocked for a week.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  18:31, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * In my view, if we are going to block the IPs for one week, we must block the master for at least that long. How long do you think it should be?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:56, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I said above that "all three should be blocked for a week". That is the master and two IPs. Is that wrong?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:23, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Nope, I didn't read it carefully, my fault. Done. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:27, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
