Canet1967 has picked up right where blocked user Gylatshalit left off, editing List of white nationalist organizations (history) and List of Jewish communities in North America (100 page history) in the same ways. Canet1967 has even started by editing the same subsections of articles that Gylatshalit left off at. I don't really understand what happened with Gylatshalit but I thought this might be worthy of additional attention. Grayfell (talk) 00:01, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * - - Extremely similar editing areas and similar editing habits. I strongly suspect all three accounts are related, but seeing the emergence of a sock right after an unblock request leads me to suspect the use of sleepers. Hence, CU for confirmation & sleeper check please. NativeForeigner Talk 18:09, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Sanchez 2142 is editing a very similar selection of articles that Gylatshalit and socks edited, in the same specific way. List of kingdoms and royal dynasties (100 page history) being the most glaring example. Sanchez 2142 reverted my edits on List of Jewish communities in North America back to Gylatshalit's state. Not a problem, but a look at user's history gives List of active separatist movements in Europe as another shared example, and Sanchez 2142 has also been editing List of active separatist movements in Asia with the exact same pattern of dozens and dozens of small (often inappropriate ) edits.

 * The behavioral evidence is suspicious though inconclusive, but the username match to checked sock Davidich2142 is a dead giveaway. Blocked, closing. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 21:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I noticed Garfield is real 2 is editing the same things his/her numeric predecessor was. Not a big deal, but the edit history is too similar to Gylatshalit and his/her many socks. Mainly many, many tiny edits of list-articles about Jewish communities (Hesder - hist, List of Jewish communities in North America - hist, etc). All the accounts also created a one-line talk page as their first edits, as well. Sounds like quacking to me, am I being too cynical? Grayfell (talk) 08:35, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
