Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Spliff Joint Blunt/Archive

 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

I've noticed some odd behavior at Portal:Current events and In the news/Candidates. "New" editors show up at these two fairly out of the way places, show proficiency with Wikipedia tools and processes, edit (and edit war) for a while, and then "retire". Syria/Palestine/Israel seem to be a common theme. Israeli–Palestinian conflict (2015) and Aleppo offensive (October 2015 – present) for example. Requesting CU to check for connections and sleepers.

 * The editor has also edited contrary to policy while logged out. I've blocked the socks and issued a 2 week block to the master account. Mike V • Talk 03:21, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * In this edit Spliff Joint Blunt admitted to being a sockpuppet of AndresHerutJaim, who has been blocked for multiple sockpuppetry since 2012, so I have extended the block on Spliff Joint Blunt to indefinite. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:39, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' This is an accusation without providing evidence. User claiming Phillipines has concentration camps for children.
 * your war behavior now as it has been in the past is the issue not the wording of any wiki item--68.231.26.111 (talk) 17:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * I've carefully gone through the editing histories of the master and puppets and there are enough similarities to convince me Xk9 is a sock. --Neil N  talk to me 18:31, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
