 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

My suspects began from this edit on my talk page yesterday At first i didn't gave it much importance (i just reported it and reverted it), but when i checked the contributions of the user i found that there has only been one. However, the edit was the addition of a barnstar, something that is relatively advanced (I've been here around three months and I still haven't learned how to do so properly, let alone to be my very first edit) The skill that the user already have points that is an account from an user that has already much experience on wikipedia, and he/she creating it just to insult me sugests that it's a practice that the sockmaster is already used to do often, with no mention of that being almost an involuntary way too obvious auto-confirmation of the existence of a sockpuppeter. I started to wonder who could be the sockmaster, and the only person that comes up to me is the user Tobus2, he is the only person to which i've had a lasting affair on wikipedia (a two-sided discussion that have lasted around six weeks ), around two days ago Tobus2 created a section in the reliable sources noticeboard to attemp to finish the discussion, and he effectivelly lured the attention of an administrtor, however since all that happened at a time on which i'm not on wikipedia i couldn't present the issue from my point of view (tobus2 intentionally miswrote and ommited several points of my posture to make it look rachitic), so as soon as i had time i wrote my perspetive of the issue in the page of the administrator in question, the hour at which i wrote my response was the 22:14hrs. Around one hour after i wrote it on the administrator's talkpage (23:36hrs.), the barnstar appeared, as additional evidence, Tobus is usally active on wikipedia from 23:00hrs to 06:00hrs.(confirmable via the history page of the discussion we had ). A detailed look on the contributions sugests that tobus2 might be a sockpupet itself (His edits are almost exclusively related to the issue he and me had ). Finally i want to point out that my only motivation on this is that of me discovering a potential sockpuppeter that might have attacked "who knows how many" wikipedia editors. I know that he being found guilty doesn't automatically means that I won the discussion on which I was involved with him. I still have to gain the support of wikipedia's comunity on that issue (thing that i will attemp to do eventually after this case is resolved). Czixhc (talk) 00:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Closed. I don't see anything connecting Tobus2 with the attack account. That said, I've blocked the attack account. Nobody else turned up when I checked him to see who had created him. Closed. Reaper Eternal (talk) 00:43, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * So there was no link at all from the DufferingScot to anybody else? that's unexpected but thank you. Czixhc (talk) 00:47, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
