Suspected sockpuppets



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

All of these accounts have come out of the woodwork with nearly identical writing styles and total misapplication of WP policies and guidelines. Lisabagg's talk edit, Maxx's talk edit, dsalanitro's talk edit. I think at the very least there is a lot of WP:MEAT happening. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  19:31, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

There's also this and this near identical edit including note: and formatting. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  20:07, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Nonsense! All edits attributed to me have been made solely by me. David asked for help in rectifying this situation, and I offered my assistance. Furthermore, I feel that we've been treated unfairly throughout this whole process. We certainly don't know who posted the original article; we only wanted to correct the inaccuracies we saw and provide more information and references to establish context. Sorry, I'm not an expert at Wikipedia, but there is no "sockpuppetry" of any kind that's taken place here. We're not making anything up; we're just stating the facts as they are. That's it.Maxxheth (talk) 01:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Untrue. I came to Max for guidance after discovering the erroneous Wikipedia about me was posted. It was defaming and an embarassment. After Maxx made edits using clippings of articles provided by me, we submitted a talk post admitting as such outright. I was unaware that supplying research material was outside the Wikipedia guiidelines. Be assured Max and I are two seperate entiies. I can only ask that you grant us the benefit of the doubt given the forthright nature of our correspondence to date.Dssalanitro (talk) 02:50, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * - To discern between socks and meat. Thanks, GABgab 22:18, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * . What I can say is that and  are ✅ to either be the same editor or connected enough that it's a violation of WP:SOCK.  is  related to them, but could also be meat.  and  are  related to each other, but not technically linked to the first group. Looks like basic WP:PAID shenanigans to me. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  20:34, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Since Ponyo's findings on 2 August, has registered and posted to the AFD.  Can they be checked for connection, too, ?  only (talk) 20:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * - Please, compare to previous accounts.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  21:04, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * LisaFulmer is only to Lisabagg by geolocation and isn't technically related to either group. I agree with Ponyo that this looks like a UPE ring. Katietalk 10:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
