Contribs of alleged master, contribs of alleged sock: seems to be a continuation of the same dispute. Alleged master was an SPA blocked for NOTHERE/HOUNDING the creator of Clarice Phelps. Note for example that every argument made in the alleged master's final edit is also made in the alleged sock's first edit (e.g., the argument about "Kit Chapman", "ORNL", "IUPAC", and the alleged master's lament that "There is no author attributed to the claim.", compared with the alleged sock saying "I appreciate that the article does currently identify who is making the claim").

 * I was about to file this report myself, and concur with the above analysis by Levivich. I also note that the prior account (Alex Dunbarton) shows a precocious familiarity with an existing dispute, and could possibly connected to earlier possibly blocked accounts from said dispute?  -- Jayron 32 19:58, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I also agree that there is likely an older master account, based on recognizing the arguments being made and the writing style, but frankly I don't want to take the time to write an attempted proof. Levivich&thinsp;[dubious – discuss] 20:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Amanda. Please note the alleged sock account has made more edits since this report was filed, and as a result has been blocked by for harassment. I think the new edits kind of clinch the behavioral comparison but of course that determination is up to someone else. Thanks everyone for your help.
