 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All created in the last two days mainly for the purposes of neutering the criticism of Ronald Radosh in one section of the Oliver Stone article; no edits elsewhere; no user pages; regurgitate each other's edit comments, level of editing knowledge beyond what first-time noobs do in first-time edits.

May all be socks of Dnwwn (whom I notice edited after UHOTUS, and in similar style):

 * First of all, there are various inaccuracies in the nomination. For example, Dnwwn, far from being "created in the last two days", has been active since July 2011, and far from having "no edits elsewhere", has numerous edits elsewhere. The one solitary edit by 140.211.147.233 looks as though it was probably Dnwwn, but I see nothing abusive about it. It looks like a simple case of forgetting to log in to edit. I don't know what the nominator means by "neutering", but it looks to me as though all of the editors concerned have been at pains to deal with point-of-view pushing and bias in the article: if that is what "neutering" means, then that is fine. The fact that several people have all been editing in a similar way may be no more than an indication that several people were unhappy with the grossly biased nature of the article. Other than editing the same article and trying to deal with the same problems in that article, I see nothing to connect the editors together, but even if they are the same person I see no abusive use of the accounts and IP addresses.
