 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

Timeline is as follows:

1. Rhys reduced population of Hawes dramatically. It was reverted. 2. Rhys reduced the population again and vandalized the page. They were reverted once more. 3. Hawesyorkshire reduced the population as their first edit; they were reverted and warned by that "You had already been warned under your previous username." 4. Rhys reduced the population again and was reverted, then did it again. 5. After many warnings (template and non-template) Rhys was indeffed by as a vandalism-only account.

According to the logs, here is when the accounts were created:


 * 15:09, 24 January 2016 User account RHYS HATFIELD From Hawes (talk | contribs) was created.
 * 16:47, 24 January 2016 User account Hawesyorkshire (talk | contribs) was created.

The final piece of evidence is the similar "Hawes" username, and it seems like a case of socking to continue a pattern of vandalism, which is in this case tampering with the population. GABHello! 22:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't believe it... I didn't see the tag. I've outdone myself in idiocy, it seems. GABHello! 00:17, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
