The above edit only on the article for St Benedict's School. In each case, the Userpage follows exactly the same format each time, consisting just of a soundbite slogan. Thus:

Rightshooter: Your humble servant
PromisesWeKeep: Proud to serve
In Principio: Erat verbum
Talkischeapened:Belief is not
Duecareandattention:Now and always x

User:Mjinkm is probably another sockpuppet for the same user, but the Userpage has a greeting rather than a slogan. The Sage of Stamford (talk) 21:19, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this to make PromisesWeKeep as the master, as Rightshooter is stale and we don't have any data on that account that we can use. And I'm endorsing because I'm fairly sure they're the same, but it's possible it's meatpuppetry. Anyway, checkuser can clarify what's going on here. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 21:38, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator note Hm, alright. I've blocked and tagged all the socks, and I blocked the master for a month for puppeting. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 22:11, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both accounts created within an hour of each other, both having only very few edits to the same articles. Both have created user pages, which although not identical, have a similar flair.

PromisesWeKeep created their account in December 2010. __meco (talk) 19:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Odd, I hadn't noticed the creation date on that one. Nevertheless, there is no reasonable doubt that this account is controlled by the same person the other are; perhaps there is some case to mark this one the master account, however. — Coren ^(talk) 12:21, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
