 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

The first 6 accounts were opened at around the same time. The first 6 listed have all only commented on one topic, which has been a frequent topic for sock puppets. All made the same general comments, using the same type of language, and picked up the arguments of the others as if they were their own. While I strongly suspect that the 7th listed one is also a sock puppet,Khama Tendal has at least commented on other topics and registered 2 weeks before the others. All relevant evidence can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Amanda_Knox. The first edit made was actually made by Khama here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAmanda_Knox&type=revision&diff=672628425&oldid=669951425. All the comments made by the first 6 on the list (4 of which share a "mouse" theme in the name) were made in approximately a 24 hour span. The aggregate changes can be seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAmanda_Knox&type=revision&diff=674792648&oldid=669951425. LedRush (talk) 15:37, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added TheNobleHorseman based on his one edit which also continued the arguments of the others: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAmanda_Knox&type=revision&diff=674941416&oldid=674938621 LedRush (talk) 23:17, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I have tagged the accounts CUblocked by Ponyo. Calvin Davis851 has only been active less than three hours weeks ago. Khamba Tendal remains active to this day but I don't find the behavioural evidence to be strong enough to block for sockpuppetry. Of course, the account can still be blocked for other policy violations if relevant. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  23:43, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
