 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Paolatds created an article, Tci Network several times in a short space of time (the first was a month before the second two, which both took place within an hour of one another). After the third creation (which was speedily deleted, as were the others) he was reported to AIV. Shortly thereafter, the article was created a fourth time, only 15 minutes after the third deletion, this time by Sakuralain 14 (this has been his only edit to date). This article, too, has been speedily deleted (under the criteria of G11: unambiguous advertising), and the article has been salted. We now have two users whose only edits have been trying to advertise a company despite a total of four deletions. Their actions are similar enough to be suspicious. –  Richard  BB  15:43, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * added three more SPAs from this case. "Tcinetwork" is probably stale, blocked 15 June. There is also even staler, last edited 2007. This all started with The Competitiveness Institute, deleted at Articles for deletion/The Competitiveness Institute in June.  JohnCD (talk) 16:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * The following are ✅ matches to each other:
 * Clusmy and Tcinetwork are . Clusbar appears unrelated, but the time gap between their edits and the above group may explain that. TN X Man  16:05, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay... yeah, same result. Courcelles 16:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
