 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

These two users have recently popped up and been blocked for VOA, with both exclusively targeting user and talk pages in such a way (e.g. by commenting out code) as to suggest that they know what they are doing and that there is someone else behind this, probably someone who was blocked before. Compare, for instance, H1 and M1; H2 and M2. I think it would be useful to identify which other user accounts have been used for this same purpose, and which IPs/IP range should be blocked.

the two accounts are clearly related, per the evidence given above by It Is Me Here, showing &  coupled with  &. I agree that it is strange that these two have just popped out of the woodwork, and am endorsing for a sleeper check and to find the master, if possible.

There are no sleepers. Geolocation suggests that the two accounts edit from opposite sides of England and there appear to be no other ties between the accounts, but I'm quite sceptical of English IP geolocation. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 14:53, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Both accounts have been blocked already, so I guess we're good. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:09, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
