 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All accounts are used once or twice then thrown out. This is a vandalism only issue and it is primarily to Alien Act 1705. Who knows, maybe there's more to the picture here, but it's getting tedious to deal with what's here in front of us. Vandalism is done on an infrequent basis so page protection wasn't considered. It's only a few times a month, but this has been going on since July of this year. Dawnseeker2000  01:31, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

 * What a mess. I'm adding a CU to sort this all out, i.e. to see if it's socking or widespread meatpuppetry. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 08:48, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure what's going on, but because of many different locations (though as far as I see, not concurrently), CheckUser is rather useless here. Meating or socking though, perhaps it's time to consider what's going on here in the same light as sockpuppetry. WilliamH (talk) 13:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Semi'd the article for a good while since none break autoconfirmed...or if they do we can consider SPA and won't be coming back. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  02:50, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * DQ's article protection seems to have quieted this case down. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:08, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
