 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Recently I've been involved with persistent PR puffery at Train2Game; User:SwanPR has repeatedly reverted edits in spite of a fairly clear WP:COIN. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Train2Game&action=historysubmit&diff=534816662&oldid=534815989 is typical of these reverts. They were blocked today and immediately up pops User:Girlgameruk (who has never edited WP before) with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Train2Game&action=historysubmit&diff=534828853&oldid=534824939 and subsequent reversion... If this isn't an outright sock, it is surely meatpuppetry. Pinkbeast (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC) Pinkbeast (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The Girlgameruk account claims to be one of a "team of thousands" so CU may be in order. Psychonaut (talk) 15:14, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Looked like she was referring to the organisation she was part of to me. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 18:14, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * My inference was merely that they were going to encourage students to make the exact same edits. Pinkbeast (talk) 18:57, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * This parting shot suggests meatpuppetry is pretty likely, and may be a recurrent issue with the article. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  22:13, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Closing as they are unrelated. Girlgameruk can still be blocked if her disruption continues. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:55, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
