 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.


 * Both part of WP:IEP (see user pages). Both working on the topic "electric steam boilers" (See here, here, and here)
 * Both are the obviously the same person, from these two edits on the course table (edit by suspected sock, edit by user) Manish Earth Talk •  Stalk 09:15, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Based on shadatls.mech's last edit, I'd say they are attempting to change usernames. Have you had a chance to ask them what's going on? TN X Man 13:19, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know. The user has no reason to, but currently we have lots of vandalism/copyvios coming from WP:IEP, and lots of blocks as a result. These blocks have been giving rise to sockpuppets. What I thought was that this user might be trying to preemptively create a sock after seeing his classmates being blocked. Anyways, I'll notify him tomorrow (no time atm), and ask him why he created that account, and tell him to template it as a legit sock/doppelganger. That way, he can be held responsible for the actions of both of his accounts. (I'll post here after he replies) Manish Earth Talk •  Stalk 15:54, 2 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Nothing's happened since the warning was issued, so I'm closing for now. Relist as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
