 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Users have spammed two links crosswiki, both of which have been blacklisted globally. Both users have been active on the same days, both registered on en.wp and es.wp on 24 October 2010. Reign.Celebrity was blocked because of an inappropriate username on 25 october 2010 (so after creation of user Karonte22). See m:User:COIBot/XWiki/freesamplesource.com for more indepth info about the spamming. The links appear to give away free stuff, but when you look closer are probably malicious in some way. Some of the links were not detected by the local RC-patrollers. I hereby request a CU to see if these users are socks and if there are other accounts from the same user that have spammed wikimedia projects (crosswiki). I will also place this request on es.wikipedia seeing the IP is from Spain, users were alos active there and the typos on the websites make me feel the author of the site(s) is Spanish.

User did not request CU when creating but mentions they want it in the comments. Given that Reign had used karonte as a sleeper per ce says to me there may be more. Alexandria  (talk)  14:42, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Reign.Celebrity is obviously so CU can't help there, and as for Karonte22, nothing to report, but yeah, other CUs and Stewards might wish to look into the cross-wiki spam. WilliamH (talk) 15:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
