Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)


 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Both users have incredibly similar user pages and their interest is in the same articles, many of which are up for deletion. David Salzman, where Indiana Boy has been edit warring and Julian has been the main editor. Also see Nick Barrotta. Article was created by Julian on 10th Dec then deleted today after AfD but was then created, interestingly, by Indiana Boy this time.

Also note that both have voted in Articles for deletion/Jason Falovitch so if they are the same user then it is misuse.

None of the edit summaries are identical but they use similar language such as 'flag' when talking about maintenance templates.

Also see how Indiana Boy signs his comments (he puts IndyBoy, then the signature)

Julian also opts for a manual sig rather than the automatic one.

What a coincidence! I was considering filing this this morning after I tagged the article for G4, but had a hard time finding enough evidence. What are ways to gather enough evidence to file an SPI? Steve M (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Moved SPI to the correct master account.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. Bagging and tagging both accounts. This SPI report can be closed...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:58, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
