 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Eolai1's recent contributions (which basically consist of using Wikipedia as a platform of advocacy on the articles Ferdinand von Prondzynski and Mother Records) got him blocked for a few days. During the block, User:99.179.44.28 appears and makes the same edits that got Eolai1 blocked. Looks like a pretty clear WP:DUCK case. I suggest reblocking Eolai1 (and perhaps the IP too, temporarily) for sockpuppetry and refusing to get the point.  Them From  Space  17:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Since the edits by the IP were identical to the edits of User:Eolai1, I have blocked the IP for 48 hours and re-blocked Eolai1 for 1 week. If user socks again, we can semi-protect the page for the duration of the block. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Note: on August 5, made the same set of edits as Eolai1--clearly sock-puppeting to avoid the block. However, by the time I heard, the report was stale so I didn't block. However, recording here for reference; the two IPs are close so a rangeblock may be possible if the problem persists. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
