 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

JESLabour has attempted to create a political article of himself multiple times, all of which were deleted (see also history of the talk page). This is now happening again, but he logged out to remove the speedy deletion template (need CheckUser intervention to confirm), after being warned for removing it multiple times while logged in. He then questioned the deletion on Peridon's talk page as seen here, which was the red flag.

Aside from template removal they have made very similar edits to UK Conservative articles (some vandalistic), evidence as follows:

UPDATE: The latter diffs above can no longer be seen as the page was deleted

I honestly feel bad for the guy, but rules are rules and I felt this warranted a case to be opened. &mdash; MusikAnimal talk 23:42, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I've talked to him about posting the article so many times, and about reliable sources, but he just doesn't seem to understand. I don't think this is deliberate socking. He's just desperate to have an article, but it's too soon. Even having his original title protected hasn't got through. Peridon (talk) 10:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I have salted the other title. Let's just wait, he's gotten a final warning so if he recreates the article again, he should be blocked. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 11:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * First of all, CheckUsers are not allowed to connect accounts to IPs except in extreme cases. Now from the behavior it's pretty clear they are the same user. But he looks like a newbie who's totally lost; have you tried talking to him before? He might have just forgotten to log in. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:11, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This is obviously just a newbie getting logged out accidentally. Closed. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:34, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
