Suspected sockpuppets



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

Same driven purpose for adding a very detailed list of accomplishments of a write-in candidate at New York City mayoral election, 2017.

Also very similar threats made to a disagreeing editor at User talk:AG1111. JesseRafe (talk) 16:28, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - Given the threats against AG1111, . Please block the master account indefinitely for making a legal threat while logged out (see this comment), and the IP temporarily to prevent evasion. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:10, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I can see they are the same person but the master account is not currently under any sanctions so there is no abuse of multiple accounts. I have just blocked the IP for 31 hours for edit warring (before I saw this page) and am willing to consider a block of Maximilian30 for NLT if this is deemed necessary. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:49, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Editing disruptively while logged out is a form of sockpuppetry in and of itself, especially when that disruption requires a block independently of any sockpuppetry issues. It's not quite good hand/bad hand since the master account has engaged in some potentially disruptive behaviour, but it's in that vein. If a block is necessary to prevent disruption from this person, their account should be blocked, regardless of whether or not they were logged in when they did the disruptive behaviour.

 * Sputnik is quite right. There may not be abuse of multiple accounts, but there is a legal threat. Per WP:NLT, I have blocked the account until the threat is rescinded. Closing. ~ Rob 13 Talk 15:09, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
