 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Similar edits to List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups focusing on a particular organization being classified as a hate group. Possibly using sock accounts to get around WP:3RR. Mr. Vernon (talk) 22:10, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Two accounts making the same edits (Pastortom2002:, , , ; Soniarangel , , , ) with similar edit summaries/comments ("Showing...", "Christian view of homosexuality"), identifying themselves by name (Google them) such that it's obvious they're either sockpuppets or meatpuppets. If it quacks... –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:16, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * This is far too obvious a case to let slide. The first FOUR edits of Soniarangel is to repeat the exact addition of Pastortom2002 but without the "hangon" template. Why would a brand new editor know what that template was for and why to remove it? This one quacks like a DUCK. Binksternet (talk) 23:33, 27 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't want to out anybody but I notified Pastortom2002 about what I saw as a conflict of interest of his. I documented how every single edit of his was a promotion or defense of Tom Brown Ministries of El Paso, Texas; the same group that Soniarangel was defending along with Pastortom2002. A Google search of the notional meatpuppet name reveals somebody from El Paso. It is probably just coincidence, but Tom Brown's minister wife is named Sonia Brown nee Blanco (not Rangel).
