Suspected sockpuppets
( original case name)

I came across this revision: which denotes the fact that User:Cagaswept could be a former account of this user. This particular account made many unfaithful and disruptive edits which got them blocked, including:, and. Just today, I came across this edit:, made to the same page which was vandalized by the aforementioned account. -BriLila (talk) 23:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes, Cagaswept was my account. I don't troll anymore, and I will not mass vandalize articles ever again. I probably have made edits while not logged in/registered, and I probably have made other accounts in the past, but I cannot be 100% certain. I intend to only use this account, SirInfinity0000, for editing. SirInfinity0000 (talk) 20:27, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I meant "Jewish politician". You can see a lot of spelling errors in that message, as I clearly did not write that in a coherent manner. I had a habit of putting "thing" after stuff I didn't know how to describe. I really don't have anything else to say about that. SirInfinity0000 (talk) 22:30, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * From the evidence presented, and a few other things, this looks pretty likely. However, I'm not actually minded to block the new account at this point, as the user seems to have turned over a new leaf and is making positive contributions. - I'd be grateful if you would answer three questions. First, was  your account? Second, do you understand why that account was blocked, and undertake not to repeat any of the actions that led to its block? And third, have you ever edited with any other account? Please be honest about the last question, because I have looked at your IPs, and I see another account editing (but not vandalising, thankfully) - if that's you, just say so, and make a decision about which account you want to use.

 * OK, thanks for confirming that was your previous account. As a checkuser, I can see activity on your IP addresses, and various types of information about your device and browser. There is another account, using a device identical to yours, which occasionally uses the same IP address as yours. Neither you nor they appear to be vandalising, or engaging in any WP:BADSOCK activity, and so long as that situation does not change I am prepared to assume good faith, and work on the assumption that you are two people who occasionally use the same device. There is one more thing I want to talk to you about: this diff. Can you explain to me what you were referring to there? I appreciate that you have changed your ways and are no longer vandalising articles, but I also don't want to open the door to a potential antisemite - please explain what you meant by 'that jew politician thing'. Thank you. Girth Summit  (blether)  20:06, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Marked for admin attention (?). Should we let this go? MarioGom (talk) 09:56, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I guess - closing. Girth Summit  (blether)  13:08, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
