 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Quite a few single-purpose accounts. None of these have made edits outside the high school pages and its community, and the new accounts have been edit warring. It's hard to post personal messages on talk pages when the accounts appear to be disposable. tedder (talk) 19:52, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

(editing to add evidence)
 * Sockmaster edit- shows adding a block of text with graduation requirements, school uniform, sports played
 * Lockeedit4 edit - same content

These are the only two with precise overlap; the others are very suspicious because they are sequentially numbered with similar edit patterns. I'd be happy to provide diffs, but it only shows the style, not precise overlap. tedder (talk) 17:14, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

 * . Please provide diffs to support your request for checkuser. Please provide two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided (around one sentence is enough for this).

✅ that the following accounts are operated by the same person: Please note for future reference that you still didn't actually add the evidence as I requested; you needed one diff per sockpuppet. These diffs do not need to be completely identical reversions to be considered, although in that case a short sentence explaining how the diff of the sock shows the similarity to the diff of the sockmaster is required. In this case you provided sufficient evidence for a check only for Reemedits and Lockeedit4, which as it turns out confirmed the link to the other accounts without them being checked directly. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 23:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Socks blocked and tagged. Master blocked 10 days for socking to evade 3RR. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  15:03, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * From an email to UTRS they are school projects with group editing accounts. The accounts are used by groups of children and run by a teacher. It's obviously not the way we handle school projects and accounts. Secretlondon (talk) 11:00, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
