Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

The timespan between them is every once a week for a new sock account to appear and it stops using its previous account when it makes a new one. Three accounts share an interest for editing the Gaalje'el page when you look into the view history. Makes clan articles on his/her first sock  and third sock. The accounts have overlapping interests. Ayaltimo (talk) 15:38, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

 * FYI, was blocked as a confirmed sock of Turwaq on Commons. HanadHaji and Turwaq do have a (rather small) temporal overlap here on enwiki. —&#8205;Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 19:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)


 * @Mdaniels5757 Thanks for the ping. Hmmm, yeah, I see that now.  But I've already warned them, let's just let this go for now.  One of two things will happen.  Either they'll behave themselves in the future, in which case, we don't have a problem.  Or they'll mess up and then we can take action from a stronger position. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:03, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @RoySmith Sounds good; just wanted to make sure you were aware. —&#8205;Mdaniels5757 (talk &bull; contribs) 20:08, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Based on editing overlap, timecards, and choice of editing client (plus the observations laid out in this report), yeah, I agree that these are almost certainly all the same person. But, as noted, they stop using each account when they start using another, which we explicitly allow.  But,  please understand that while switching accounts every week isn't prohibited, unless there's a good reason for it, it's just going to raise eyebrows from your fellow editors.  It's generally a good idea to just stick with one account. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
