 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Of these four accounts, I am reporting Kuchtoh as the sockmaster simply because that one has the earliest account creation, but they were all created within 24 hours of each other (see Special:Log/Kuchtoh, Special:Log/Yekyahoraha, Special:Log/Tohogaya, Special:Log/Kuchhus). Each spammed a link to bioquestmedical.com to various articles (defibrillation, automated external defibrillator, first aid, and Navin Nischol). There isn't any overlap in the articles; each account spammed a different one. Normally that wouldn't arouse my suspicions, but then posted this comment at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist, hinting that these accounts may belong to "our marketing team".

I am not sure about because only one contribution from that account involved bioquestmedical.com. And I doubt is a sockmaster or sockpuppet, so I have not listed that account above, although he admits to being involved. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:20, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Proxies are being used, and should be blocked now, but there were also ISP edits. Kuchtoh and Tohogaya are ✅, Everyone else is . I would proceed with the blacklisting of it as soon as possible. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  23:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * How would I determine what proxies to report at WP:OPP? ~Amatulić (talk) 15:40, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll ping and ask him to block the proxy. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:56, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I originally meant the proxies were blocked, but I went back and tied up all lose ends. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  21:37, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm blocking the five listed accounts as socks with a master. The clearly related spam edits and proxy abuse indicate probable abuse of multiple accounts. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:55, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
