- Evidence
- Prime example - the four users edit the same pages, and in a span of seven minutes three of the users edited the page, adding false information without sources; the kicker is that the edit summary was the exact same for two of them.
- A simple look at the user contributions show several similar patterns, such as using the phrase Update Edition in the edit summaries - [1], [2], [3], [4]
- Users mark nearly every edit as minor.
- All four have edited the page Drought in the United States
- Comments
- I believe User:Coverts1300 might also be a sock, given both edits were minor, the name is somewhat similar, and one of the edits was to Drought in the United States. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:20, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
- Obvious socks. Master blocked 24 hours, puppets blocked indef. ScarianCall me Pat! 00:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
