Suspected sockpuppets

The article Osgoode Hall Law School has been subject to recent edit warring, leading me to issue warnings, then blocks, then protection. When I looked into the matter, I found that the article has been subjected to sock puppetting going back two years; see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Steinberg2000. After blocks of User:Paulydee and of 2607:FEA8:691F:FF99:1005:25F8:6351:A464, the above two apparent sock puppets appeared, supporting User:Paulydee's positions. and. This is either User:Paulydee, or someone pretending to be them in order to try to get them into further trouble. (This edit summary mention of "the complaints of the sock puppet" might be suspicious.) It would be helpful to have a checkuser to know whether this is actually User:Paulydee or someone pretending to be them, and also whether there may be any sleeper socks.

I'm not sure how to sign this comment and I don't know if I need to do so. Anyway, I appreciate Paul Erik's investigation. I'm the editor of the related article that mused in the edit summary that a sockpuppet could be active. I'm not trying to frame anyone and I have no involvement with "SuckitIseeu". However, my comment was unfortunate and baseless. I shouldn't have written it and I think that my apology and my disavowal of any connection to "SuckitIseeu" ought to be on the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:691F:FF99:848C:3D80:3DB6:F7A2 (talk) 03:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * The two accounts are . They would be ✅ if it weren't for the fact that SuckitIseeu is hiding behind a proxy server.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:48, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

I noticed this user removing a link to York University in an article about a politician I have been following and thought it was familiar to another edit I'd seen recently. That edit was by, a CU-confirmed sock of this master. Compassionfrog's edit history is mostly focused around Osgoode Hall, an area Paulydee and their socks caused trouble in last week, and the new account was just created after the last time Paulydee was blocked (prior to being indeffed, that is) and seemingly in the midst of the last SPI.

- this is pretty close to being confirmed based on behaviour, but please check against the master just to be sure. Ivanvector 🍁  (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Apparent single-purpose account on Osgoode Hall Law School and related alumni articles, adding the same categories and complaining about admins on the Osgoode Hall Law School page in much the same way as before. Sro23 (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

 * If it turns out this isn't a sock I think they deserve a block anyway for making legal threats. Sro23 (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
