 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Fenchcafe created the article Glory 21: San Diego. It was deleted at AfD 4th March 2015. On 6th March 2015, a new account, Hard7kek, editing the same articles as Frenchcafe, and within an hour or so of creating account, Hard7kek had re-created Glory 21: San Diego, only 2 days after the end of the AfD. Both editors have been very vocal in objecting to my re-nominating the article for deletion. If you look at, you can see that these 2 editors repeatedly commented 2-5 mins after the other one had, in the same poor English and same tone. Then as the argument was clearly heading towards deletion, the above IP appeared. 1st ever edit for an IP is extremely rarely to participate in a deletion discussion. I have no hard evidence of sockpuppetry, just a strong feeling based on long editing experience. also suspected socks. Boleyn (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC) Boleyn (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

 * About administrator found account, that is my former account. And after I made current new account for personal reason in December 2013, I rarely used former account except only 1 particular page for my convenience, and I contributed to my main interested field (kickboxing, martial arts, etc) only with current account . I didn't use my old account for disrupting discussions or anything. Yeah I didn't see illegitimate act that still using old account with current account, so I will not use that old accout anymore. I know that I cannot delete account myself, so if administrator can delete please do my old account . And about the suspected account and IP 203.226.206.161, i've nothing with them. I'm sure there won't be any evidence of that even if keep checking.  think all of them same people because just I and they all disagreed with his article deletion proposing here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glory 21: San Diego (2nd nomination).

 * And there are big lies in 's comment above. Glory 21: San Diego article's first deletion was 12th March, 2015.( said 4th March) After that I kept editing my interested articles until today, and suspected account was created on 6th April, 2015.(( said 6th March) There isn't any correlation on the dates. And why I have to suddenly make another account just for re-creating that article? If I want to I just do it with my own account. And 's newly made Glory 21: San Diego is different with former version. Frenchcafe (talk) 11:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 * has been illegitimately using multiple accounts as they are ✅ to (see the overlap of edits here). With regard to a connection to, although at first blush they appear technically unrelated, the results are  as they are editing via an ISP that offers colocation services. .-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * This is a case of two independent socks. Blocking Frenchcafe 72 hours and indeffing the older account, Rokaf118 with tag. Giving IP 1 week. Indeffing Hard7kek...I believe this is Băcăuan. Closing.
