Anyone know how to run the user compare report which helps sniff out sockpuppets? I can't find it anywhere. I have a suspicion of a couple of the Irish Nats and want to see how they line up with each other.

There used to be a tool to list which articles had been edited by both of two editors. However the author had his account deleted on Toolserver for non-activity so all his tools disappeared. You might check to see if there is a new such.

But what if you find two editors editing much the same articles? That just shows that they have the same obsessions!

Thanks Fusion. I had a look there but couldn't find anything. This is the report that's run every half hour in each SPI.

I suppose the thing to look for are articles edited by the two users (i.e. potentially one user) that are not in any way related to their shared areas of interest.

There definitely is or was such a thing since I used it myself less than a couple of months ago. But I came across it by accident and I'm afraid I didn't take a note of it. If I see it again I will post here.
