 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Very same behavior of disruptive edits looking at the article page history of K-pop. User:Whatthedog on August 28 and 29, 2012 made a series of edits to the article blanking and removing various parts of the article which were soon restored by other editors. On August 29 Whatthedog made the following edits (see, , , and ). These were soon undone by User:Junilein but then just after over an hour came User:Yugi0008 and reverted Junilein (see ). On September 3, 2012 Yugi0008 made the following 2 edits, first one removed a large portion of article content which was immediately reverted by ClueBot NG, and then just after 2 minutes came User:Frogdanc and reverted ClueBot NG (see ). User account User:Yugi0008 was created on 20:28, 29 August 2012 (see the log ) just a little over half an hour before User:Whatthedog was blocked for disruptive editing at 21:07, 29 August 2012 (see the block log ). even more interesting is that user account User:Frogdanc was created on 09:14, 3 September 2012 (see the log ) and just the next minute did the same edit that User:Yugi0008 did it barely 2 minutes ago. This is a very strong behavioral evidence that all these user accounts are operated by the same person and it quacks a lot louder than a simple duck test, but still very much need a CheckUser to confirm and verify the situation for full proof solid evidence and to find out any possible sleeper accounts. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 17:24, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * - TGU makes a clear and convincing case, and the contribs make it clear that these are ducks, but there is a chance of other sleepers so requesting CU to sprinkle some magic pixie dust on this one. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 20:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Compliments for the clear report. All the accounts brought forward appear to be operated by the same individual. No other accounts that I saw. WilliamH (talk) 21:15, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked, tagged and closing. We might have to get TGU to start teaching classes on creating pithy and effective SPI reports ;)  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 22:19, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
