Annasdottir was the earlier created account, so filing it as sockmaster.

Annasdottir has edited sporadically on DOTY articles for a bit now. A brief visual inspection suggests to me that there's no overlapping edits which would suggest these accounts cannot feasibly be related (e.g., no edits minutes apart).

TaylanUB is an SPA that edits primarily on Feminist views on transgender topics. On 3 October 2018, blocked TaylanUB as NOTHERE for trans-antagonistic behavior. A few days later, on 8 October 2018, TaylanUB posts an appeal which was copied to WP:AN. Most recently, TaylanUB posts on his user talk page at 16:49, 11 October 2018.

Annasdottir has not edited on any transgender-related pages prior to today (11 October 2018). Today, Annasdottir made two edits:
 * Edit #1 - 18:42, 11 October 2018 - Substituted 'wrote' for 'opined' - weasel word.
 * Edit #2 - 19:02, 11 October 2018 - Added a reference to video footage of the Speakers Corner incident. Also made it clear what offence Wolf was found guilty of. /

Both edits were in the The term "TERF" section of the article.

Annasdottir's first edit matches a number of edits made by TaylanUB to remove or changes words per WP:SAID. Annasdottir changed "opined" to "wrote". TaylanUB has done this repeatedly in the past:

Annasdottir's second edit also matches TaylanUB's past edits. In this edit, Annasdottir (1) describes the instance as "assault by beating" and (2) provides video footage from the source Newstatesman as reference. (3) In the edit summary, Annasdottir mentions "video footage" about the "incident" at Speakers Corner.

Regarding (1), TaylanUB has referred to the event as "assault" and "assault by beating".

Regarding (2), TaylanUB has referenced Newstatesman many times ( and the article's talk page).

Regarding (2), TaylanUB has referred to "video footage" of the "incident" before as well

Style note: both accounts start edit summaries with capital letters and use period/full stops at the end of all edit summaries.

Requesting CU for technical evidence evaluation. If these two are socks, these are old accounts and may turn up more sleepers or a wider network. Neither are a throw-away account.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 19:48, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

 * From a technical perspective, these two accounts are ❌ to one another. . Yunshui 雲 水 13:45, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Behaviourally, they do have an interesting correspondence and could possibly be related based on the behavioural evidence presented. The account is already blocked as NOTHERE so no need to keep this open any longer. -- The SandDoctor Talk 07:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
