Suspected sockpuppets
In the edit history of Alex Lasry Anubus2013 said "I provided citations" but in the edit history only user WisBadger2020 has provided any link that support him. Besides, They are obviously both SPA. 128.194.2.28 (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

I am not involved with this case. I am making it on behalf of an IP editor as part of an edit request. Aidan9382 (talk) 05:35, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

While I know nothing about this case, I've taken a look and gotten what I can. In relation to the IP's comment, I believe I have diffs related to what they are talking about. The IP seems to be referring to the summary of this edit from Anubus despite the fact their other recent edit didn't add citations, and the addition of a reference from WisBadger in this edit (See contribs on the 13th). Note that I can't find a comment telling either of them to provide citations. From what I've seen, the closest connection is that they are both SPAs across the same 2 articles, both attempting to add endorsements to 2022 United States Senate election in Wisconsin and remove content from Alex Lasry. Other than that, no further comment, as I'm unfamiliar with this to say the least. I'll be sure to do a minor check of future edit request SPIs to ensure they have enough information to be valid.

 * -, I appreciate that you raised this report on behalf of an IP, but it's short on diffs. That article has been of interest to so many socks in recent days that I'm considering full protection. Can you, or anyone else, point at the diffs to demonstrate what these accounts have said and done? Thanks  Girth Summit  (blether)  23:17, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for digging. That statement might be interpreted as someone getting confused about which account did what; or, it might be a reference to the editing they did in 2021 (when they did provide some citations). The article has been a sock magnet lately though, so I took a quick look, but aside from being in the same general part of a large country, there isn't anything technical connecting these accounts. Closing this without further action at this stage.   Girth Summit  (blether)  08:15, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
