 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

There is extremely loud quacking from this group of accounts as they apparently attempt to votestack an AfD. At Articles for deletion/Bangladeshi Cyclists, all four of these accounts use identical wording in their !votes. This would ordinarily be a block on sight situation, except that one account was active in 2010 - after being created in 2006! - ad then not again until now, with another having been created in 2010, made one edit in 2011, then returned for this. These make me wonder accounts are perhaps being compromised, and also makes me wonder if there are sleepers involved, hence the request for CheckUser verification. (Note that is the oldest account, however the creator of the article in question is listed as the master here.) The Bushranger One ping only 13:42, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Ridwanq opened the original article, however this is not sockpuppet scenario. The report was done by another user called Ctg4Rahat who has been trolling that article from the very beginning without explanation. Later he helped in cleaning up the language of the article. The same language used in reporting came from inexperience of the other people who are linked to the topic in the article and got a bit upset when they saw it marked for deletion. Hope this explanation will be taken into account. Drabiralam (talk) 03:47, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright then, that's understandable. Just remember in the future that if you copy-and-paste your reasoning from somebody else's, it leads to reasonable suspicion. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:06, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Given this and the comment above, I believe WP:AGF applies and this can be closed as no action. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
