Suspected sockpuppets
Both accounts have a similar edit summary style, a frequency to incorrectly mark their edits as minor, and are interested in the same topics such as Mountaineer Boys State and the recently created Oliver Anthony. Joemama46 went inactive on 7 March 2021 and Adman511 went inactive on 24 February 2021. Both accounts started editing again within two days of each other in June of this year. –– Formal Dude  (talk)  18:12, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

I just want to say that the comments made against these editors contain a great deal of conjecture and the original assertions (by GreatBritant) look more like slurs to me. The OP even suggested that one of them was the subject of the article Oliver Anthony. I’d like to point out that (1) his song Rich Men North of Richmond has inspired huge numbers of people, as is evident from its instant huge popularity, and I’ve no doubt that the two accused here, who are husband and wife, were thus inspired to resume their editing, and (2) the accused's husband has explained the editing here: Talk:Oliver _Anthony Boscaswell   talk  09:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a rather convenient excuse, and even if it's true it's still meatpuppetry. Also, please don't throw around the word "slurs", nobody has used anything close to a slur and to suggest they have is a personal attack. –– Formal Dude  (talk)  09:27, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Appears to be a disclosed close connection. Messages left for both accounts pointing out the relevant policy. All commentary around sockpuppetry and connection between these accounts appeared quite reasonable to point out. Closing. --Jack Frost (talk) 09:43, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
