 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Note:The primary account and all other users other than XAGENTXVECTORX have already been blocked for sockpuppetry, but have been listed for the sake of establishing similarities between the suspected sockpuppet and other accounts. At the start, in mid-2008, PaPiRiCoSuAvE made numerous, unnecessary, and ultimately disruptive edits on Resident Evil (video game), such as replacing instances of the word "PC" with "Personal Computer". Under this account the user received quite a lot of comment from users (myself, included), but simply reverted them.

The other notable account, "XMORPHEUSX", made excessive alterations to Resident Evil (video game). The edits, as shown here, were based around expanding the release dates of the game to show as many countries' release dates as he count find. While most articles would list notable regions like North America; Japan; Australia and the EU, this user included Venuzuela; the Turks and Caicos Islands; Jamaica and many island nations. Most of these would display the same release date (being in the same region), making their usefulness more to the point of being overly-informative (I'd compare it to a minute-by-minute "summary" of a 190 minute film). The basis of his edits was likely from a document on his computer pasted there some months earlier. This is evident by the amount of content reverted to older, cluttered forms that had been cleaned up before his editing.

It was as XMORPHEUSX that the user learned of the 3RR, which he used as an excuse to vandalise articles, as well as harrass users. Under this account he bullied other users via edit summary.

Reading the edit summaries of the new account, "XAGENTXVECTORX", which can be translated from "(IvebeenlookingatdifferentversionsofthisarticleandmysourcesaregoodsoallIdoismakeminoreditsandupdatereleasedateswhichbythewayarecorrectasfarasmyinformationprovidessojustbecauseitsaccuratedontaccusepeople&envythemjustbcausetheytookthetimetoresearchit1st)" into "I've been looking at different versions of this article and my sources are good, so all I'll do is make minor edits and update release dates which, by the way, are correct as far as my information provides. So, just because it's accurate, don't accuse people and envy them just because they took the time to research it first", I find it surprisingly familiar. At one point, XMORPHEUSX also presented himself in a friendly manner in an attempt to cover up his vandalism "necessary indeed.....the more specific the better.....this is to help some readers its not ur prefererance,its mine.....do urs ur way n i'll do mine my way :)" won't get as much notice as a wall of gibberish.

Everybody is by two years except for XAGENTXVECTORX. Is there any current disruption going on? TN X Man 15:49, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Per this edit summary, it seems that XAGENTXVECTORX is being used by mutiple people. They're being really disruptive and it's possible that they're connected to the other accounts here, so I've blocked them. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:59, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
