 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This appears to be a sock/meat with the intention of promoting Psychic_World_Newspaper, Psychic_World_Publishing and related entities. User Faiz9290 created both the original article Psychic World Publishing (deleted at AfD) and a related one currently under AfD entitled Matthew P. Hutton. Hitomi Kurihara created the similar Psychic World Newspaper. Most recently the sock/meat has been active on an AfD, with a series of similar comments, some of which include personal attacks and refactoring of other editor's comments. Here are some of the relevant diffs: Hitomi Kurihara  discussing focus article of "Matthew P. Hutton" as well as non-related article of "George Ridley", anon IP 82.152.73.234 personal attack comment  including comment about non-related article "George Ridley", anon IP deleting other editor's comments/responses on the Afd, SPA Spiritmover commenting on same article. Anon IP 77.103.114.137 also seems to be active on the same series of articles. Amityvillechris is also active as an SPA on the same series of articles with edits like this and  promoting content from Psychic World Newspaper. I note that Faiz9290 also has an interest in an article with the title Hitomi Kurihara, which suggests further connection. This appears to be a sock/meat with the intent of using multiple accounts to sway an AfD. As part of this it has made personal attacks, and deleted other editor's comments on the Afd.

 * I had a look at the terms under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Guidance and this is not true. I have an account, and sometimes I forget to 'log in' so my IP adderess shows up. But it is not intended to deceive? My interest is in the paranormal, and I noticed that Wiki has quite a large section already covered, so I am unable to add to these articles. I wanted to add folklorist Eric Maple along with other people who I believe are important figures to Wiki, however, I am reluctant to do so as someone seems to object to my suggestions.

 * It would appear to me that most of these accounts are either closely related or the same person, based on the convergances. I'm endorsing so that a CU can... check for anything paranormal. Note that CUs won't link IPs to accounts.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  01:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Another reincarnation of what appears to be the same sock created yet another copy of the article with a different title here. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
