Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Starting off with the Editor Interaction analysis which provides quite a clear picture.  Both users have a common interest in the topic Road signs in Singapore, which for both accounts count for the highest number of edits in their edit history. And broadly, articles of Singapore politicians and judges. Specifically for Singapore politicians, they have a habit of adding/reading the debatable "The Honourable" designation to the various politicians' articles.

Woodysee:

Woodennature:

From the analysis tool, we can also see that the time difference between edits are all very close to each other when they work on same articles.

Timing-wise, their activities have been relatively quiet until April 29, when both accounts started editing a high number of articles at a decently fast rate (assuming its manual), mostly to add "The Honourable" prefixes to articles of Singaporean politicians.

And lastly and obviously, the name of both accounts Woodysee and Woodennature. Or is this some tagteam effort?Zhanzhao (talk) 01:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC) Zhanzhao (talk) 01:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Update: Per Berean Hunter 's suggestion, I have asked the editors in their individual talk pages if they are related to each other. Zhanzhao (talk) 23:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Woodennature Any particular reason why you are using 2 separate accounts for the same areas of interests in the same timeframes? Its very confusing and hard to communicate. Could you just stick to one? Would also have helped if you had indicated the link between the 2 accounts. See WP:ALTACCN. Zhanzhao (talk) 14:23, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

One of the accounts I had it for about 10 years now. Lost the password until recovered a couple of years ago. Anyway this page is not the right place to explain it. As long as I have already declared I'm using both accounts. I only edit in my spare time occasionally. Woodennature (talk) 16:22, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Woodennature Noted. Its actually a perogative to indicate alternate accounts, but as you are an infrequent user, you may not have realized that. Please take note in the future. Berean Hunter  Thanks for your time. Zhanzhao (talk) 10:52, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Comments by other users
''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Yes, both accounts belong to me. You know, you could have avoided all of this by asking me first. Woodennature (talk) 05:01, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
, I suggest that you ask them if this is an alt account or for them to otherwise explain the relation between the two accounts. That would help us decide on how to proceed here. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  17:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  16:51, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen where the accounts have been used in an illegitimate fashion. I think that this helps. Should I go ahead and close? This one may be best chalked up to misunderstanding. No harm, no foul. I recommend a good handshake, so to speak and everyone carry on.
