 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Jlance3 removed a speedy deletion tag I placed on an article created by Joethsmow using extremely similar diction as Joethsmow when he asked me to reconsider. Both seem to be very interested in Real estate investment trusts as neither have any edits outside of these subjects. The other three users may be stale but they also seem to be related.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 20:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

The Usernames Danthedandyman and thetestsandbox fall under the following category that I myself and my fellow classmate Jlance3 are utilizing under.

Testing and training: Users who use a lot of scripts and other tools may wish to keep a second, "vanilla" account, for testing how things appear to others; or for demonstrating Wikipedia's default appearance when training new users. The second account should be clearly linked to the main account, except where doing so would interfere with testing or training, e.g. someone created an account with the user name "example" for the same reason that the domain names "example.com", "example.org" and "example.net" were created, to serve as a "dummy" account to be used in examples without indicating a real user's actual account.

We are new users here at the wiki and wanted to have these accounts as extra sandboxes in order to work on multiple wiki projects at once without having to empty our own current sandboxes that had/have articles currently in them.

I shall make the necessary changes to the two accounts to show they are linked to my main account at JoeTheSmow.

The user Jlance3 is my peer at Cal Poly Pomona and we are both working extensively on the REIT and NAREIT pages for a school project. I would appreciate that the accusations by the User:Ryulong be disregarded as we are working with USER:Charmlet to aid us in making the article acceptable for the wiki.

@Rschen7754 - I was unable to locate an article stating how to do so, I was under the presumption that for a user based sandbox there was only one tied to the account. I apologize for my ignorance on the subject as myself and jlance3 are both very green wikipedia editors. I apologize for causing any grievances for making multiple accounts for the purpose of the multiple sandboxes. Am I required to have the accounts deleted in order to not receive any negative backlash? Joethsmow (talk) 23:44, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * You realize that you don't need to create multiple accounts just to get additional sandboxes, right? --Rschen7754 23:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * We cannot delete accounts. But if you can agree to only use one account (per person), that would be helpful. Please also be aware of our guidelines on meatpuppetry, or working closely with other people off-wiki to push a particular viewpoint. --Rschen7754 03:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Joethsmow seems genuine, so I have blocked the two socks while leaving Joethsmow and Jlance3 alone. However, Joethsmow and Jlance3, understand that if you two repeatedly support each other in discussions on Wikipedia, it can be regarded as meatpuppetry.
