 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

All users have similar names. I came across the sockpuppets in the edit history for the Ruud Boymans article. Original user was blocked. There may be more sockpuppets I am not aware of. Robby.is.on (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

The blocked user made few edits before getting blocked but one of the edits was also on a football player's article (Brent Kallman).

However, for me the more obvious connection is the similarity in naming. Specifically, all three accounts share what seem the same first (Tony) and last name (Dirks). Also, in case of the blocked account (Tony.dirks) and Tony.dirks3 the first name and last name are split by a full stop and the last name is not capitalised.

 * I indeffed as a sock of  and blocked Tony.dirks3 for a week. I see no connection to  except the username. Tony.dirks3 is the oldest account anyway, so I'll move this page to his name. Case closed.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  21:43, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
