Suspected sockpuppets

All 3 users, all edited the same article and reverted each other. Judging by the alleged sockpuppeteers' username, I believe this is related to another sockmaster, or even a LTA. Dat GuyTalkContribs 21:25, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

However, who is the master? I don't believe it's "sacked Wikipedia". Dat GuyTalkContribs 21:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Does it matter? You got three accounts making one single childish vandalism edit. Moreover, CU is not a fishing expedition: usually, you would need to tell us who your suspected puppeteer is. Drmies (talk) 21:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Anglo Pyramidologist? One of the previous editors was a sock of theirs. Also, A.P. doesn't sock regularly, but monthly or similar. Last one was exactly one month ago. Dat GuyTalkContribs 21:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Running CU seems like a waste of time for this minor vandalism. All accounts are already blocked. Drmies (talk) 21:28, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * , given that the account was created to remove the vandalism that  inadvertently restored, perhaps a check might be prudent just to make sure they didn't get caught up in someone's shenanigans? They're probably the same, but a tiny angel on my shoulder is whispering "but what if they're not...?" -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * My dear, I am merely a passer-by in your garden; feel free to do as you see fit. If there is more than meets the half-blind eye of a Dutchman, you will quickly be proven right, and I do not mind being proven wrong. Drmies (talk) 21:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, so and  are ✅ to . As  has blocked the Potatoes account as a  sock.
 * is a VOA, so I'll leave it blocked, but I'll unblock as they appear completely unrelated.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  21:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
