 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Both accounts are editing the same section of the same user talk page.

Some people are made of plastic started editing Jimbo's talk page about an article on cleavage:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=649231987

Some people are made of plastic was then given a CheckUser block by :

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=Some+people+are+made+of+plastic

The next day Plastic-Al1ty creates their account, and, apart from their userspace, the very first edits that they make are to the exact same section of the same user talk page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=649541406

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=649643958

Then there's the usernames which are a bit similar.

I am requesting CheckUser to see if these two accounts are related and also because Some people are made of plastic was a CU block (though I don't know who of) I want to ensure there are no sleepers. 5 albert square (talk) 01:20, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Interestingly, there's no technical relationship between these two accounts - but is a ✅ sock of the globally locked account . Yunshui 雲 水  12:18, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * What about User:Nola Carveth? Is (s)he the original sockmaster? See: User talk:Nola Carveth.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Nola Carveth is technically ❌ to any of the accounts mentioned above. Yunshui 雲 水  08:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Although they are unrelated, I believe that is the sockmaster. She and  made same edits to Jimbo's talk page, and  commented that on User talk:Nola Carveth. I;d say these are all socks of Nola Carveth (including Plastic-Al1ty who is an obvious sock).  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I would lean towards agreeing with you. I noticed you haven't flagged this case as needing admin assistance -- indeed, you should be able to move the entire case to Nola Carveth's name and fix it up and archive it there (if you think it is what should be done). ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  04:23, 6 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I just wanted to hear second opinion before I move the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The case is moved now. All accounts are blocked and tagged. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
