 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

DUCK. . All 3 appeared at Talk:John Kripsy on 28 March in a period of an hour to join Papisjap in opposing a speedy deletion to make it look like multiple people are opposed. None have any non John Kripsy related edits other than all creating User pages. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:11, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I have a suspicion that User:Frank20041 and User:Justinjohnsononline are also sock or at least meat puppets; each is an SPA working on a single Voidz-created article. Given that Voidz is blocked, this becomes relevant as they, if socks, should be blocked as well. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I have added to the list whose edits are currently being discussed at ANI. Given the typical brief style of their user page messages, I suspect that these accounts are operated by one and the same user, not to mention the quacking. Please check for potential sleepers.

Specific diffs: [ Papisjap], [ Loveeasy90], [ James-phil], [ Loveeasy90 (2nd time)], [ Okpalekec]. Material about Voidz is at WP:ANI, but Voidz's connection to the others is not clear to me. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 01:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Voidz started the John Kripsy article. De728631 (talk) 14:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I have now indeffed Voidz as a promotion-only account but I'm still interested in potential sleepers regarding the other accounts. As has been observed in the ANI thread, professional spammers are prone to socking. De728631 (talk) 14:43, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I have blocked and tagged the lot of them based on their edit patterns and interactions. De728631 (talk) 17:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * . Per the diffs I posted previously, I agree all (except possibly Voidz) are likely socks.  I also agree that a CU check for sleepers would be helpful here (and might also confirm a link to Voidz).  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 02:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅, and  are socks of Papisjap.  is ❌. - Mailer Diablo 03:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I have now unblocked Frank20041 per request. It seems that he was caught editing the wrong article at the wrong time. While Justinjohnsononline's edits are questionable, they don't seem to match Papisjap's and Voidz' professional edits on a second look. So I'm going to give this user another chance as well.
