 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

One person appears to be using multiple IP's and perhaps two Usernames: User:Gordonstove and User:Philchristie(sbl). The second User mentioned may actually be a meat puppet. I don't know how to get the IP for the two Users just mentioned. The combined socks are attempting sway an AfD discussion in favor of "Keep". The combined socks are also disrupting the AfD discussion by inserting "Keep" with comments. This behavior appears to detract from the discussion itself, and detract from the good faith editors attempting an authentic discussion. It also dilutes and muddies the discussion. User:Philchristie(sbl) appears to have opened an account for the sole purpose of making one vote with a comment - see:, and. User: Gordonstove appears to have opened their account for the single purpose of creating the article now under discussion, see:. Finally, an anonymous IP is making specious claims about the employment of the nominator (User:Corbomiteo). However, this may be construed as an attempt to "out" a Wikipedia editor, besides the personal attack. User:Corbomiteo is doing a good job on Wikipedia if I may say so.

Likely This guy if coming at User:Corbomiteo and got extremely offended. [en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Corbomiteo&diff=497377368&oldid=497371187] He also deleted Corbomiteo comment which is against policy. And then User:Philchristie(sbl) came into the conversation. Both users have only worked on Atomic dielectric resonance. User:Gordonstove created User:Philchristie(sbl) to contest the deletion of the page, User:Philchristie(sbl) had a conclusion that was way to long and in-depth as if he was the one who wrote the article. User:Gordonstove also created User:Philchristie(sbl) at 19 June 2012 at 06:57, just after User:Corbomiteo nominated it for deletion, and he was losing the argument, he created the account to throw a vote. Now the IP's are probably him to it happens to all of us we log out and forget to log back in, but what is odd, is that the first 5 digits aren't even somewhat similar. Lastly, all of his comments from all of the users are not signed which also means something.Ob tund Talk 03:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Ok, I cleaned up this SPI some, now asking for a CU to possibly link the named accounts. Obviously, the IPs will be determined without CU. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  21:59, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 81.* and 31.* are static IPS, 86.* is dynamic. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  22:03, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It's whether the named users are related to each other, but they each get some of the IPs.  Go on behavior for this one.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 22:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 1 month blocks for everyone for what is at the least, obvious meatpuppetry. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;  12:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
