 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Judging by the block and failed request for unblock at the sockmaster's account, and the immediate appearance of the puppet, this seems to be a sockpuppet produced to evade a block.

While it may be a different person and an innocent taking over of the draft at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Mireille_Schwartz&action=history it seems to quack loudly. Fiddle  Faddle  09:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Since User:Food Allergy Experts, USA was blocked for the username and for possible shared use, and was explicitly advised to create new individual accounts for each member of their "collective group", I don't see how following that advice constitutes sockpuppetry.

 * Just to add, the block on User:Food Allergy Experts, USA was set to allow account creation, and with the autoblock setting disabled, which rules out block evading sockpuppetry. Nick (talk) 10:55, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree with Huon and Nick's evaluation. The account appears to be in line with the account policy and created as instructed by the original blocking admin. I'm closing the case with no action taken. Mike V  •  Talk  04:47, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
