– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

Suspected sockpuppets


Editing the same articles, talk pages, and same edit summaries, here are their complete contribution logs:

Kiernanmc: https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Kiernanmc
Kingmanatee: https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Kingmanatee

Both accounts are editing highly specific articles with similar patterns, notably: Steve Collins (journalist), United States House of Representatives elections in Maine, 2018, and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lewiston, Maine City Council. The sock master is using his sock to win/sway debates and create a false sense of consensus. The master is also creating dubious articles and having the sock contribute unsourced information. They both participated in the same discussion acting like the same person see: Talk:Chris Murphy#Requested move 15 February 2018. The sock master created the requested move and the sock commented "weak keep". From Talk:Chris Murphy: Master commented at 15 February 2018 (] followed by his sock on 20 February 2018 (]). From United States House of Representatives elections in Maine, 2018: He did it again on 18 February 2018 (]) followed by his sock on 28 February 2018‎ (]). The Editor Interaction Analyser (]) shows that both edit the same articles, in a scaled fashion, with the same amount of edits. CamdenEric (talk) 02:45, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

The two accounts are either operated by the same person or are meat puppets. Also, the filer knows that person or persons, and there's bad blood between them. I have more to say but for the moment choose not to.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
