 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

First, generally, just looking at the history of Nadine Burke Harris and the AfD, it's clear that Trade2tradewell created it, and socks or meatpuppets are supporting it.

Second, for specifics. Comcast IPs geolocating to SF Peninsula editing the same article within minutes of each other indicates at least coordination, probably actual sockpuppetry.

 * I don't believe that the named master was socking here. He reverted the IPs twice while asking them to discuss on the talk page where he left a message for them. Something may be going on as far as close coordination by others but I don't see the master in this. Will leave for others to peruse or close.
 * Btw, a confirmed sockmaster did cross over into this AfD but that case is Sockpuppet investigations/Escapement.
 * With no other actions taken within the last month, I'm closing this.
