 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

I recently came across the AfD for Far Forest Scrolls, which I snow closed. Before I did that, I noticed that there were a lot of SPAs coming on to edit and defend a page for a fictional world for a series that has yet to be released. Their only edits have been to this page. I'm not sure if this is a case of socking or meating, but I'd like to know for sure since their arguments all seemed to be relatively the same for the most part.

 * Agree this is suspicious, all the above accounts seemingly created just to comment on the article talk page. Comments are also very similar in style & certainly I suspect puppetry of some kind. Odd that there was no attempt to participate in the AfD discussion.TheLongTone (talk) 11:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

 * At a glance this looks more like meatpuppetry, but I'm open to a second opinion. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:20, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Closing this, with no action. It's IMO likely that they are distinct people, the talk page comments weren't disruptive, and nothing else happened during the last seven days either, so I don't think we need to consider this further. Amalthea  11:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
