Suspected sockpuppets



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

Same wording used by anon IP and sockmaster account at article talk page, user talk page, and in edit summaries, continuing edit warring over same photo in same article. All of this follows two warnings for edit warring over article and photograph. Duck is quacking loudly. Diffs to be added shortly. -- ψλ  ● ✉ ✓ 16:51, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

More evidence:


 * Anon IP edit warring and commenting at talk page geolocates to North Carolina, the content added re: the alleged BTK photo mentions "North Carolina lawyer Frank Abrams bought several ferrotypes at a flea market in Fletcher, North Carolina, and hung them on the wall of his house.". IP geolocation shows Arden, North Carolina; Abrams (mentioned above) is from the Fletcher, NC area - just a few minutes from where the IP geolocates.


 * Sockmaster's user name is "Frankabr.", first name of attorney who has possession of the photo in question is Frank. "Frankabr" appears to be an abbreviation of "Frank Abrams"  Coincidence?  Same person?  Because they seem very personally involved in this issue, I've asked the account holder to declare COI if they have one, they have balked strongly several times on both the user talk page and the article talk page.,.

Looks like there's another sock,, who's just reverted at the article. Carlstak (talk) 17:20, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
