 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

I have checked the sockpuppet investigation for this user:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Dragonron/Archive

From what I can see, has been the reporter for virtually every account, I think that this account has been set up to impersonate him.

As you can see, it's not the first time this has happened:

When I've looked through the SPI for these users, they've made it pretty obvious in the first few edits that they're a sock and they've been blocked for being such. I suspect what they've tried to do this time is get a few edits under their belt first of all so that the account doesn't look suspicious.

I have given the account a username block but raising this SPI. I'm also requesting CheckUser to double check that the accounts are related and also because the editor here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ruylon&diff=prev&oldid=637764905

said that they would just create another account. 5 albert square (talk) 13:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The following accounts can be ✅ to each other:




 * However, the technical details of these accounts do not match the archives, so I'd call this to Dragonron. Courcelles 15:03, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well that's not what I was expecting. Nonetheless, Ryulon was clearly created to impersonate Ryulong (Dragonron's MO, hence my surprise) and Argotton and Torga appear to be votestacking in an AfD and Torga has disrupted the GamerGate topic area to the extent that they were topic-banned, which they appear to be evading with Argotten, so I have no qualms about indef'ing all five. I suppose the results might need to be archived under a different name (Torga is the oldest by a long way), in which case the block logs might need changing.

 * Agreed: archive this report under Torga. If no other clerk has gotten around to it I'll fix it later today. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:11, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Moved under Torgan as Master
 * Reblocked/retagged socks under correct Master ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:20, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I had originally moved/reblocked/retagged under "Torgan" instead of "Torga". I fixed that now. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  17:26, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
