 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

A talkpage thread at Salvio's talkpage threw up a ✅ result for checkuser on these three accounts. Based on this, and on comments at Sockpuppet investigations/RashersTierney, I'm bringing this to SPI for investigation. Behaviourally, there is no glaring connection (Latin Wolf and Norseman2000 have never edited the same articles, and MarleyFan7 has no edits as yet (although note that Latin Wolf is a major editor of pages relating to Bob Marley)), and with the exception of the disruptive (IMHO) SPI investigation into User:RashersTierney, there does not appear to be any serious abuse of WP:SOCK going on. However, I feel it's worth holding a formal investigation here to determie whether any sanctions are warranted. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  07:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Hello. I do not engage in sockpuppetry nor do I engage in meatpuppetry. I'm still familiarizing myself with Wikipedia, but I have not done anything against guidelines / policies. I do not know why or how this got pinned on me. As for MarleyFan7, I just found out that it is an account my friend created while he was visiting my house the other day. I will tell him to close it if it goes against guidelines / policies. Other than that, I have absolutely no clue who Norseman2000 is. Latin Wolf   (talk)  08:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Indefblocked all socks and 2 weeks for master. The SPI as a second edit's clear enough for me, and I don't buy the "friend" excuse. Rschen7754 08:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
