Suspected sockpuppets

 * BL99 edit wars over the infobox of Fall of Singapore, ending on 12 November 2022
 * BL99 is blocked indefinitely that day
 * This IP makes the same warring edit on 14 November
 * BL99 sockpuppet is tagged on 12 January 2023 after an indef block for edit warring
 * In a 17 March unblock discussion, BL99 admits to socking and says there's been a "cessation of any such activities [...] my mistake though, and I don't condone such actions.
 * On 7 April, declines the unblock, notes that socking has happened more than once, and warns "While this account is blocked, you are not permitted to edit at all - not as an IP address, and not through any other accounts."
 * On 8 June, the IP again makes the infobox edit that BL99 warred over last year
 * The Editor Interaction Analyser also shows Second Battle of Kharkov as an article shared between BL99 and the IP. Alejandra Caraballo was edited by both ANC and the IP. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:37, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
