 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Two remarkably similar articles created by two completely new users, within half-an-hour of one another, covering the same topic and copy-pasting text from the same websites. User:Jituparida created How colour affects communication at 19.01 on the 29th; after it was nominated for AfD 13 minutes later, Color and communication was created by User:Cswgroup3seca at 19.25. Both copied chunks of text from http://www.colormatters.com/, and both have a very similar writing style. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 09:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The user(s) also copyvio'd Cell phone Etiquette. JFHJr (㊟) 14:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

seems likely to be the same contributor. Given this is an educational institution likely sharing IP addresses, I'm not sure what the best remedy should be. Certainly, the attempts to create articles are awful. But registering is what the IP notice atop the user's talk page suggests. So in this case, if these users are at the same school, CU might result in a false positive; I'm inclined to see WP:MEAT. That said, handle blocks would cure the disruption.

 * Closing as no action, possible meatpuppetry but none are actively editing now.
