 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Suspected sock submitted to have an auto-block on the master account lifted. The IP address mentioned is static, according to this report. The master is, quite frankly, clueless enough to attempt such a crude evasion. I was sorely tempted to just block on this evidence alone, but maybe a CU on the browser details is called for.

 * Sorry, Favonian, but I don't think there's enough justification to block solely on an unblock request like that. Having said that, I'm adding a checkuser request on to see if the two accounts are the same. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 17:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

At best but probably  at the moment. I'd recommend clearing the autoblock and monitoring the user. There's quite a number of users who have the same UAs as Phanuruch8555. The behavior suggests that they're not the same person. Based on the data available, I wouldn't go with what whatismyipaddress says. Unless the IPs being edited are a public terminal, a school/university or something, the ISP that Phanuruch8555 is editing from looks dynamic. Elockid  ( Talk ) 19:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Simultaneous checks here! The underlying IP is actually anything but static, appears highly dynamic to me. Courcelles 19:10, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I stand corrected and have lifted the autoblock. There is something about that username, though. Well, AGF, AGF, must AGF. Favonian (talk) 19:48, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
