 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User:Working worker ant appears to be a sleeper sock of some sort. The account had been created in January, but started editing almost instantly as soon as the latest sock, User:Public awareness had been blocked for sockpuppetry. Working worker ant displays similar behavior patterns, answering questions at the ref desks in subtly provocative ways, see especially this edit by Public awareness and compare to this edit to the same thread by Working worker ant. I'm not 100% sure on this, because Working worker ant has not edited a lot, but to see a new user like this dive directly into an active discussion on the ref desks is suspicious. -- Jayron  32  19:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC) Jayron  32  19:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Quest09 is the master of those, so I've blocked and tagged the socks accordingly. I've also blocked Quest09 for 3 days. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:16, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Should this be moved to a new casefile then (one for Quest09 then?) Since these don't really belong to Passionless... -- Jayron  32  03:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Case moved, but not without a few errors along the way :) Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  22:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
