 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

WP:GIANTDUCKs attempting to push a large increase in the number of Koreans at Koreans and Korean language, repeatedly editing without comment or reference, and account-hopping from account to account to do it. All accounts have been indef'd, oldest tagged as the master, presented here for the record - and requesting CU to be sure there aren't more sleepers out there. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC) The Bushranger One ping only 01:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * And the two articles being attacked semi'd for a week. I suspect we're done here. (Although it might be wise to watch other Korean articles, just in case...) - The Bushranger One ping only 07:15, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You can lift that protection; based on the technical data I saw, there's no need for it. WilliamH (talk) 07:22, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Kind of late, but it seems pretty suspicious based on the similarity of this suspected sock and the edits of those already added. --GrayFullbuster (talk) 15:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Same modus operandi (inflating Korean population figures). As the sockpuppeteer usually creates several throwaway accounts for his edits, CU would help to locate further socks. Psychonaut (talk) 13:47, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
