 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All these accounts have edited the article Gene LeBell exclusively. They have the same pattern of deleting Bruce Lee from this article and entering "Japanese instructors" in the infobox and not leaving an edit summary. Diff 1 Diff 2 Diff3 Diff4 Diff5 --Jtalledo (talk) 13:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Since I was called a sockpuppet in this matter, I felt it was only appropriate to "call a spade a spade", if you will. This follows the same pattern as the last time: these users (excepting 202.40.137.201) have edited Gene LeBell or Talk:Gene LeBell exclusively or almost exclusively, all except 202.40.137.201 have no user page or user talk page, don't sign their posts, complain that other users (who in comparison have rather substantial editing histories) are making suspicious edits, take much the same stances as accounts which were blocked as a result of the previous investigation, and make it obvious that their concern is for representing the interests of Bruce Lee (and to a lesser extent, Steven Seagal) than for any regard for the actual subject of the article.

The specific edits involved would be and, where Calicased edits the comments made by 202.40.137.201 as if they were one and the same person. In, Ductslupin removes mention of the accounts involved in the previous investigation, and and  edits GregTillman's previous comments as if they were one and the same person. Multiple of these users refer to other users as "members". Hmmm, I wasn't aware that this is really FidoNet. Okay, I'm being a bit mean there.

The above list of accounts was taken strictly from the revision history of Talk:Gene LeBell. There appear to be other accounts engaged in similar activity who have only edited the article itself, which I haven't yet taken the time to identify.

 * - - Please also check for sleepers. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 06:52, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * GregTillman is . Calicased and Ductslupin are the same, but I have no way of knowing if they are related to Shxtlebell or any of the accounts in the archive. Due to the use of a shared connection, I also can't determine if there any sleepers. Datsabadasschick is ❌ to Calicased/Ductslupin. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 17:31, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to declare GregTillman a sock due to behavior and username similarity to checked sock IvanTillman. Calicased and Ductslupin are checked socks of each other and probably of Shxtlebell as well, based on behavior. Datsabadasschick is not a strong behavioral match, so combined with the negative CU is probably not a sock. Two IPs are stale, but I've blocked 108.180.5.249 for 1 week.
