Suspected sockpuppets
HistoricHoofbeats showed up 3 days after Apphistorian was indef blocked; topic, arguments and language are identical. Apphistorian announced they are the one in charge of the ASHD horse breed registry and was indef blocked at ANI for a legal threat made on the related Talk:American Sugarbush Harlequin Draft page. HistoricHoofbeats' first edit just 3 days later during an AfD for the ASHD horse breed page was a continuation of the same arguments in Apphistorian's final four edits. When asked by the blocking admin how they arrived at an AfD for their first edit, HistoricHoofbeats tried to explain by saying they were called here from an off-wiki notification (meatpuppet), but the hostile language is identical enough in tone and wording to point to a ban-evading sock. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 20:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
