The original account is stale, but all three have created near identical promotional articles/userpages for the same person, most recently today at Steven brocklehurst. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

 * . Please provide diffs to support your request for checkuser. Please provide two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided (around one sentence is enough for this).
 * That's not really fair - all of the edits from these accounts were deleted, so MikeWazowski wouldn't be able to provide diffs. I think Mike did a fine job given what was available. The master here is three years stale, but the two new accounts aren't. I've blocked and tagged Immortalented1 as a suspected sock of Talentbtx. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:20, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Firstly, it is the job of checkusers to decide what is and is not fair when it comes to checkuser usage, so please do not tell me what is and is not fair. Secondly, deletion logs show that the edits of the sockpuppets in question were deleted after the report was filed, so it is perfectly reasonable to have expected them to have been provided. --(ʞɿɐʇ)  ɐuɐʞsǝp 19:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Sorry about that. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:23, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
