Suspected sockpuppets



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

TravelAlone and Markovchain are two brandnew usernames, insisting on the same single, clearly unsourced edit to article Tests of special relativity. The IP is the same user TravelAlone. Markovchain seems to have been created specially to avoid 3RR ((0, 1, 2, 3, [ 4]) (warned for 3RR but not reported yet)) DVdm (talk) 17:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

 * The two accounts are . The data for Markovchain is limited, only one edit.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 * - It's borderline, but I believe that the alleged sock is, indeed, a sock. Note the identical edit and similarly stilted English. An admin should block if they concur; of course, if they disagree, then it would be fine to close this with no action. GABgab 00:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Behaviorally, it's very clear this is sockpuppetry, in my opinion. When one editor edit-wars, gets warned, and then spontaneously a new account is created to continue the dispute, it's not hard to see what's going on. Master blocked for 10 days, sock blocked indefinitely. No action on the IP due to the time elapsed since last activity. ~ Rob 13 Talk 13:25, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
