 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Seems to be a pretty open-and-shut case of adding controversial information about prominent atheists. These two edits add identical information, despite being from two different accounts. Both accounts are involved in undoing the edits of people who have reverted them, despite constant pleas for the socks to use the talk page. Meanwhile, on the Sam Harris page, these edits once again add near-identical information. Not to mention the fact that two of the users have almost the same name, while the third isn't that different either. —  Richard  BB  15:31, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Also worth nothing that two accounts have cried censorship when their edits get undone. Similar ways of speaking from similar accounts that make similar edits. Quack quack quack. —  Richard  BB  15:50, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

kd here: i have no idea who jfut is. Your assertion based on new users and similarities in name is complete conjure. My only hope is that jfut can come here to confirm. Also, your deletion of the Sam Harris was a deletion of information that was added by more than just me. Please check it out. --Kdie84 (talk) 15:41, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The other person who added this information is the account which I have asserted is a sockpuppet, so that's hardly a valid argument. —  Richard  BB  15:47, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * This is insane censorship. You are just going to ban me like that?  This is all because I have posted information about Dawkins and Harris that you find uncomfortable.   You are the reason that the number of Wikipedia editors is plummeting.   --Kdie84 (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I think you should look up what censorship actually means. We're not trying to censor information we're uncomfortable with, we're trying to make sure the information that is included is reputable. Please take it to the talk page for both Dawkins' and Harris' articles, and then we can establish what should and shouldn't be included. Edit warring always fails. —  Richard  BB  15:52, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * If it is not related then why mention it in this allegation? Why include  the SP allegations when changing my edits??  Please do the right thing here.  It's for the better of Wikipedia.  --Kdie84 (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Given that you fail the duck test, it is relevant to mention that there are probable socks when reverting your edits. You are now also in violation of WP:3RR on the Sam Harris page, which would earn you a block even if you're not socking. Additionally, now multiple editors have reverted you. That should be a clue that you should stop; you were trying to justify your edits by saying that multiple people added it (untrue) – well, now multiple people have removed it. What now? —  Richard  BB  16:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Kdie84 has been blocked for straight up edit-warring. Can we get a checkuser to root out any socks not listed above? -- Neil N  talk to me  16:07, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I would like to see the CU's compare the location and headers to that of since the obvious sock made his way over there on the second edit. When Lionelt was active he always used to boast about "never being blocked" while sock puppets were always swirling around the pages where he was active (Little green rosetta and Belchfire come to mind). Funny, that. Also interesting is that the sock is obsessed with atheism, which is reminiscent of Lionelt, who always seemed like a Conservapedia troll to me. As anyone familiar with that site knows, Conservapaedia is obsessed with atheism, and blames them for the eventual heat death of the universe. Viriditas (talk) 02:00, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
