 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

All three of these accounts were created within a couple hours of each other, and each as its sole action created an article related to African Americans and written as an essay: A Painful Reality: Misrepresentations of Black Women in Advertisements (Haolivia), African American Women and Their Role in Interracial Dating (Akbond), and Stereotypes of Black Women on the Internet: Revision history (Alluvian). It's not a major form of disruption, but since all of these articles will have to be deleted, it seems prudent to perform a CU and see how many other accounts there are. I'm also considering this may be an incredibly misguided school assignment, but in that case we would still want to uncover all of the accounts. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Based on the CU results, your second guess (a misguided school assignment) is probably correct. Probably not the same person, but all editing from the same geographic location and 2 of 3 geolocate to a university.  Suggest moving the articles to userspace (not draft space, they're not likely to ever become articles), leave them a note about Wikipedia not being a homework location, etc.  May want to link them to the education project and suggest that their instructor work with that project in the future.

 * Every article is either deleted or headed there at AFD, so closing case as not sockpuppetry. Courcelles 04:03, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
