WP:DUCK. Both have edited the War times 2 and James Katorobo articles, and both had equally poorly formatted AfD votes on the WT2 AfD that are extremely similar; Grandmission and Tabsdirect. Requesting CU to see if there are any other sleeper accounts (the Grandmission acount was idle from August to November, and the Tabsdirect one also did not edit in this time).

 * User:Tabsdirect should also be added to this list, as their edit habits are fairly similar. They've made some other edits, but they're also somewhat worth investigating as well. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:52, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Added, I 100% agree on that. Same AfD formatting, same basic articles edited... WP:DUCK all day long. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 08:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I fucked up when I filed this request; Tabsdirect was supposed to be named, but I named Grandmission twice... d'oh. Not sure which account is actually the master, as their editing histories makes it hard to tell. Added Joseffar as another sock. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 08:11, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Grandmission and Tabsdirect are ✅ matches. Joseffar is, the technical data doesn't mach the other two, but I remain quite suspicious of the account, and for reasons that I can't really explain, I don't fully trust the technical info on it. Courcelles 15:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The behavioral evidence between Tabsdirect and Joseffar leave me comfortable to make a connection between the two. I've blocked the two sock accounts and issued a 1 week block for the master account. Mike V  •  Talk  03:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
