HardSunBadMoon registered on 12/4, but may have been editing previously under Jgriffy98 (which was active for only one day in November) and 157.43.83.254 and 2409:4063:2194:697:B5CF:DED1:6607:F355 (and others?). To quote a HSBM 12/4 posting to an editor's Talk page: "I handle multiple accounts. You should have guessed it. Only a veteran would try to gain consensus before editing." HSBM has been doing contentious editing at Maroon 5 article and Talk, and at TeaHouse. At Maroon 5, looks like a continuation of editing started as Jgriffy98. On Talk page of Abelmoschus Esculentus, HSBM wrote "Actually i joined wikipedia in 2007." but on own User page claims to be a teenager. The IP addresses show up in two Talk entries at Martinevans123. Use of "friend" and "your friend" carries over from IP to IP, to HSBM. Also "i" for "I". See also Talk of Bowling is life. Further chasing this user, may have been previously blocked as users Bobby Southside and Chandra Shekher Mishra. Bad, bad behavior as CSM, including abusive attacks on Boing! said Zebedee.

I don't have time to discuss about this thing because i am really busy for approx. 2 months. I really don't need to defend myself here because i know that i have nothing to do with all those forementioned guys. But one thing that needs to be noted is that i have never done any contentious edits. My friend knows it as well. Every single edit i have done so far is generally minor and for all those major edits, i tried to first address everybody, seek for consensus and then act towards it. So its a kind request to please remove your claim of my edits being contentious in nature. Thanks for your attention. RegardsHardSunBadMoon (talk) 12:39, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

The editing style, the language use, and the focus is very similar indeed to the previously blocked accounts - User talk:Bobby Southside for instance is written in the exact same voice as HSBM's. More specifically, in HSBM's first edit they refer to what they "already said in [their] edit summary", which probably refers to this edit by, so that's another sock right there. Other chains of evidence, involving various IPs (I apologise for this being convoluted but I hope the diffs will make the reasoning clear): this IP edit was reverted here (note the edit summary), that same second IP posted this as part of the discussion here which had been started by a different IP who was clearly the same person (note also the idiosyncratic phrasing, cf this by HSBM). --bonadea contributions talk 16:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

So some people here want to say that my writing style is so unique and untouched that if somebody writes in the exact same language then its surely me. You may reconsider what you are talking about. I will not comment anymore. But one thing Mr.Bonadea, please try to enhance your behaviour. You are disrespecting towards almost everybody as i have saw in your edits. I talked to you many times in a polite manner but you are now crossing all the limits. So be sure that you don't mess it up with yourself instead of somebody else. But i don't really care about 1 guy who is talking like an amateur, all others are my friends and are good. Moreover, all i want to say to the clerk here would be that i have not done anything for which i would be found guilty and all my edits have been purely sensible so far as you can see from my editorial history. Many users have also been affirmative with my editing and talking style. HardSunBadMoon (talk) 05:08, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I initiated the SPI because the trail of edits strongly suggests multiple User accounts and IPs be the same person. Not about accusations of contentious edits. The style examples ("friend" and "i") were not criticisms of style, only provided as evidence that an identifiable style was seen across multiple accounts.

 * On this great day of Christmas, I am admitting the fact that i am a sockpuppet of CSM and Bobby southside and the IP address above was handled by me and nobody else. Therefore, i notify to declare me as a sockpuppet and block me. JGriffy is innocent. Let him live. RegardsHardSunBadMoon (talk) 12:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I am not an admin. I do not review SPIs. David notMD (talk) 13:07, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * JGriffy98 has had only one edit since this SPI was filed. I believe a sleeper sockpuppet. David notMD (talk) 16:43, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Per this disclosure; theoretically it could be a joe job but I don't think so. Levent Heitmeier posts in the exact same tone as e.g. User:HardSunBadMoon - I'll add some diffs in a little bit. bonadea contributions talk 14:13, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

At a Teahouse posting 4-8-19, since deleted, a posting by an IP confessed to being Chandra Shekher Mishra, Levent Heitmeier and many other registered and IP accounts (list at end), some previously blocked. Levent is recently created account and needs to be blocked. Older User names already blocked after previous sock review. The Teahouse posting: "Well, you should what happened in this discussion. I proposed a much better version of that sentence which was written in a horrendous manner but just because the other guy had more than 8K edits, his edits were accepted (You shall read my comment up there). My friend Nick, you are either too good or too dumb to be working for such irrational, unconstitutional and undemocratic peoples. Wikipedia has now become the ISIS of internet due to these editors ( and . You must be wondering why this universal servant has left Wikipedia now. This is because I did my bit to help guys like you,, , My sir  (whom I wish a very happy birthday in advance) and all others. I also successfully taught lessons to some spoilt kids here like , , . David seems to be a good person in real life so I didn't turn against him for vengeance or whatever. But you all nice guys are the subjects to realization that doing this is really good but giving most of your time (as you all do)  isn't. See , whom I talked with 3 or 4 months ago about the topic and he too felt stressed so he gave up. It's not in my faith to undo all the hard work done by Jimbo by patronizing all of you but someone must tell him that he is well planned, well organized plan has failed horrendously. His good faith edits were reverted by his own peoples.

See here and surrounding discussion. Following argument with User:Lugnuts, the sock places this ("Reverse my name") on their UP. —— SN  54129  12:06, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * BTW, not requestng CU per DUCK, unless you think it's worth guarding against a joe-job (which seem to be much in fashion these days). ——  SN  54129  12:08, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I see similarities in writing style on the note on Ritchie333's talk page. Even if it is not them, it would be WP:NOTHERE behaviour (pretending to be sock is long term clearly not here). Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 14:40, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Yeah, quite obvious. The fact that this user goes straight back to the same discussion on Ritchie333's user talk page and "continues it" from this comment and what the user establishes as "being back" is enough evidence for me.
