 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Single-purpose accounts all focusing on one article, Frederick S. Jaffe. All appeared and began editing around the same time in the last couple of weeks, to add the same information to the article and/or to express support for that position on talk pages. The IP addresses geolocate to Wisconsin. Greenwood, Wisconsin is also given as the postal address for the group that hosts created the website containing the allegations at the nexus of the dispute. I'm leaning towards WP:DUCK based on the geolocation, although at the very least this is WP:MEAT Keri (talk) 08:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for looking. I'm quite surprised, particularly as I just noticed that the 75.xxx and 96.xxx have also used "Rohan" in their talk page comments. Am I correct in assuming that it is PediaWikiMaster, RohanRidesAgain and AnthAthan that are unrelated? Keri (talk) 15:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * The accounts are ❌. Nor do I think they’re meat, at least not in the sense that they know each other.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I address only named accounts in findings, not IPs for privacy reasons.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Closing without action, the evidence isn't undeniably solid enough to supersede Bbb23's CU opinion. Note that even if sock/meatpuppetry isn't proven, other administrative actions can be taken if the editing of these accounts run against policy (such as warnings, blocks, page protection, etc.) ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  13:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
