 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

I wasn't sure whether this case should have been opened under Dweeby123 or WJH1992, though they are the same person. EndersFan2012 joined two days ago and immediately started editing like an established editor. Myself and two other editors immediately became suspicious. When asked on their talk page, EndersFan2012 revealed they had been editing Wikipedia for 5 years. WJH1992 first edited 5 years ago. WJH1992 also used the names and  while socking. EndersFan2012 seemed pretty interested in why former editor, User:Rodhullandemu, is no longer around. Rodhullandemu previously blocked the Enders'Fan08 account, he may have blocked more, but I have not looked any further yet. EndersFan2012 also revealed they were interested in editing articles about British soap operas, similar to WJH1992/Dweeby123. Since then they have also edited articles on British BLPs, like WJH1992/Dweeby123. David Reid (businessman) is a favourite article of WJH1992/Dweeby123's to edit and EndersFan2012 just so happens to have edited it too. EndersFan2012 is using the same type of edit summaries that one of WJH1992/Dweeby123's more recent socks used -. JuneGloom   Talk  14:03, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Yesterday EndersFan2012 changed the marriage date in Archie Mitchell's article and was not happy when he was reverted. The same date was changed by the sock here -  - and then when it was reverted, Equalizer changed it back. - JuneGloom    Talk  20:58, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I think that a check for any other active or sleeper accounts should be done. This user has a history of creating multiple accounts for later use, and it has been a while since he was last checked out. As evidenced above, he is very much still a part of editing here.

 * I'll second Rain's suggestion especially as the editor has now just gone on a Wikibreak. Their editing behaviour seems very odd for someone that's supposedly just registered a few days ago even though they say that they have been editing Wikipedia for a few years.  They were very curious as to why User:Rodhullandemu was blocked even when I refused to comment any further on that - very odd.  Also, on their talk page they were very keen on knowing how Wikipedia admin work - again very odd.--5 albert square (talk) 22:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Taking a wikibreak or retiring after being caught or blocked for sockpuppetry is also classic WJH1992/Dweeby123 -, , . - JuneGloom    Talk  22:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Errrrrrm excuse me I am not this user and yes I was asking about the above user (Rodhullandemu) as when I was an IP user I was frequently blocked by him for what he called vandalism (according to him) and yes I was asking about admins because as I said on my talk page I want to be one please don't talk about me if you want to ask me something just ask me DO NOT slag me off behind my back as I won't have it! --EndersFan2012 (talk) 10:26, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I dread to think how many other accounts you have going. You have been playing games with the fictional character articles for years - and you are still here. Maybe you wanted to get caught? You did openly admit you had been on here for five years and showed way to much interest in an admin who had previously blocked accounts related to this master account. Plus chosing a user name which so close to Ender'Fan08. Rain  the 1  14:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I am NOT that user how many times do I have to tell you???? --EndersFan2012 (talk) 14:33, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Similiar username, similiar topic area, similiar use of templates in edit summaries, the note on the user talkpage about being around for years, etc. Also it would be good to move this over to Sockpuppet investigations/Dweeby123. Blocked and tagged otherwise. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  04:38, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If we have enough to formally combine the two cases, we aught to do so.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  04:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * DQ and I have been on the fence about a CU for a while. I think there are additonal socks from January, based on the timimg of the Dweeby123 socks (assuming that the two users really are the same). The data might be stale, but there's a few ranges in WJH1992's suspected socks that might be of interest, and there's the duck block below, for data to use as comparison.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  04:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see any user that can be compared to, everyone on both SPI seem . -- Luk  talk 09:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Both are blocked, so I guess we're done. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:54, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
