 * Suspected sockpuppets




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

Identical areas of interest, in particular Jonathan King (edits violating or at least infringing WP:BLP) and Far-left politics (first edits here). Dave006 first edited on 31 December, shortly after Trfc06 was blocked on 23 December. Both user pages give the same real world forename, and the same area of residence. WP:DUCK.

 * 86.166.16.47 again shows identical editing patterns on Jonathan King, Wirral Wolves and Shaun Tuck, the latter two articles recently created by Dave006. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

I use the same Ip address, I forgot to log in for those edits, sorry, I ahve set it to keep me logged in for 30 days from now on. Dave006 (talk) 12:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

"I will say that Dave is working in very different areas (different people thats why so thanks)--but another similarity is a kind of editorial ineptness, or inexperience perhaps, with the nuts and bolts of Wikipedia (ie new editor who doesnt have a clue, but im learning)" Like I said, 9 people live here. I have now told them all that only I can use wiki, so no repeat of multiple editors and I have done nothing wrong since I opened MY account. Would appreciate not being blocked?

sorry, dont know if I message in this section? I have 1 wife, 2 sons, 1 daughter, 1 brother and 1 mum living with me, all at the same IP address. I have done nothing wrong, and will follow the rules at all times. I love wiki and the talk pages so ask that you dont bar me please. I have asked another senior editor to help me from now on. Really sorry. Thanks Dave006 (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case, I'm specifically thinking of the relation between Trfc06 and Dave006 here. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Mark Arsten (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Mark, I don't know if I can be exhaustive enough right now (gotta go, in all kinds of ways), but there's the "Dave from Lancashire" bit (see user pages) and I note similarities in style and grammar (can't spell them out right now). I will say that Dave is working in very different areas--but another similarity is a kind of editorial ineptness, or inexperience perhaps, with the nuts and bolts of Wikipedia. Sorry, time's up.

 * Based on evidence presented so far, there isn't enough evidence to warrant blocking Dave006 as a sockpuppet. So closing case with no action. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:24, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
