 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Call this a hunch. All four accounts have extremely low edit counts (under 40, except for the alleged master at 200 over 9 years), and all four seem to be working in tandem to support the same DRV mostly out of nowhere; before the DRV, none of the accounts had edited since February or longer, and now within a matter of hours they've all somehow showed up to support each other. As a minor point, three of these have distinctly german-style usernames, and they've all posted the same german-looking sources at the DRV.

This could turn out to be meatpuppetry/SPA canvassing but I can't shake my first impression that this is a sockfarm (and that there might be more sleepers) ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, Maus-78 is the creator (in 2006), recreator (in 2007) and rerecreator (in 2007 again) of Pablo Zibes (the article at DRV) and has kept editing it throughout the years. Maus-78 hasn't touched the article since January 2015... but Otto-muell edited it in October 2015, responded to the AfD last month, and started the DRV this week, before the other three named accounts (including Maus-78) followed to the DRV. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  22:05, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
