 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

The user shows same interests as the banned Sockmaster. (Sockmaster banned for disruptive editing, not sockpuppetry.) 1. Very first edits of both are attempts to get themselves as "Confirmed Users" with reason to upload images on Indian TV show articles Master's request and Puppet's request 2. Interest in IIFA Awards, inserting them on actor's filmographies. Master's edits: 1, 2, 3. Puppets edits: 1, 2, 3. 3. Puppet's 7th edit on English Wikipedia was a "Keep Vote" on Master's created article which is now in AfD. I am now suspicious that Fineuser is also a puppet of some other user (cant guess anyone now) because they say in their first edit on RFP/C that they have experience of Wikipedia. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:46, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes. Looks same and is denied confirmed status recently. -  Vivvt Talk 15:13, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The timing and the overlap between the two accounts is just too good to be true. I'm blocking the sock for the quacking. I endorse a CU for administrative purposes but also to see if there are any sleepers: perusing the histories of the articles they've edited fills me with doubt. Thanks to AnimeshKulkarni for keeping an eye on the shop. BTW, I want to be a CU so I can use these cool, colorful symbols. Drmies (talk) 15:15, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I have my doubts about as well, given their edit on Vidya Balan after Iamthebest was reverted, but, right? Drmies (talk) 15:18, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * One more thing: I have not extended the block on the master, Fineuser, probably because I'm a softie, but I have no objection to anyone extending the block. Drmies (talk) 15:52, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
