 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

In late February Randomocity999 was blocked for edit-warring at List of Jewish chess players and stopped editing. A three weeks later, JanolovLindgren and ArieKaufman showed up at the same page, supporting Randomocity999's POV and edit-warring on his behalf. This is the only article these two new accounts have ever edited. Jayjg (talk) 02:37, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Blocked the two socks for apparently registering accounts for the sole purpose of socking in a content dispute. Leaving for another clerk/administrator to decide whether to close this case with Randomcity untouched. Someguy1221 (talk) 10:13, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Looking at the contributions, all three accounts seem to be promoting the same idea (that Garry Kasparov should not be listed as "fully" Jewish) in the article. That certainly raises suspicions, but it's not enough to call these the same user by itself IMHO. I'm going to leave Randomocity999 unblocked and mark this for closing.
