Suspected sockpuppets
BenAriAtMicrosoft has been a longtime editor, though making a small number of contributions, the majority of which are promotional edits to Erez Ben–Ari. They stopped editing on September 16th, 2021 completely. The very next day on September 17th, 2021, a new account BillShearim starts editing with behavior similarities (see contributions and editor interaction tool). Shortly after, BillShearim also adds similarly promotional and poorly sourced content to Erez Ben–Ari. Today, BenAriAtMicrosoft responded to my comment at Talk:Erez Ben–Ari and have identified themselves as the subject of the article. However, they did not claim any association with BillShearim. I'm asking for a checkuser based on what I think is significant evidence of a COI editor using multiple accounts. –– FormalDude  talk  03:06, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * These two accounts are ✅ to one another, and also to, which has only two edits, both to articles edited by the other two. I considered whether this might be a case of valid alt accounts, but they are editing in an area where they have a clear COI, and their denial of the connection is a clear attempt to evade scrutiny, hence I am blocking all three.
