Suspected sockpuppets

 * Chrononem began editing Wikipedia in July 2015, and quickly got into a dispute with User:The Banner on the Margaret Sanger article. See User talk:The Banner/Archive05 for more on their dispute.
 * Chrononem was blocked for one week on 3 August 2015.
 * Schwarzschild Point was created, and began editing, one day later on 4 August 2015.
 * Among Schwarzschild Point's first few edits was to revert User:The Banner on the Margaret Sanger article (diff: ).
 * Schwarzschild Point then got into a dispute on the Yahweh article. See Talk:Yahweh/Archive_7 and Talk:Yahweh/Archive_8.
 * Chrononem's block ended and they immediately go to edit Talk:Yahweh, despite never having edited the Yahweh article and/or its talk page before. Moreover, the edits they make to that talk page is to:
 * 1) make a minor edit to Schwarzschild Point's most recent comment on that talk page, in which they add a link to a user's name in the same way Schwarzschild Point had been doing throughout that talk page discussion (e.g.).
 * 2) continue on a discussion that Schwarzschild Point was having with another user, before seemingly realizing they were logged into the wrong account and removing the comment . Schwarzschild Point then logs back in a few minutes later and continues on that discussion instead.
 * Schwarzschild Point then leaves a message on Chrononem's talk page telling the latter not to edit his comments . This seems to me an attempt to cover up their earlier mistake in using the wrong account. Also of note is that Schwarzschild Point initially posted this message on the wrong talk page: Schwarzschild Point's own talk page instead of Chrononem's . Again, this all seems to me to be mistakes made by a user getting their two accounts mixed up.
 * Both accounts are very active on the Margaret Sanger article and its talk page throughout August 2015, making similar reverts (e.g. vs ) on an article that is under WP:1RR discretionary sanctions.
 * Both accounts stop editing in 2016, then both become active again in July 2022. Chrononem removes a quote from the Margaret Sanger article, it is restored by another user, and not long after, Schwarzschild Point (who had not made any edits since 2 February 2016) goes to remove the same quote again .

 * Interesting to see that Chrononem is now accusing me of having alternate accounts. I love to see the evidence of that. The Banner  talk 18:02, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

No idea. I got back on in response to controversy surrounding Wikipedia redefining recession. I saw that Margret Sanger still had The Banner's alts maintaining non-neutrality and reverted an edit that seemed to be working to keep a bit of editorialisation in the article where it certainly doesn't belong.

 * - before I go any further with this, can you please explain what's going on here? -- RoySmith (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The CU data says these two accounts are to each other.  Looking at the edit histories, I'm unsure how to proceed, so I'll leave this open for somebody else to take a look at. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:54, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree with Roy that the two accounts are possilikely to one another. In the mean time, we could warn User:Chrononem against editing logged out. If Chrononem and Schwarzschild Point continue to revert at Margaret Sanger on the topic of racism, without following the steps of WP:Dispute resolution, each of them is risking a block for edit warring.

 * Neither account has edited in a few weeks, so no urgency to do anything. Chrononem is aware of this SPI, we can take that as having been warned.  I'm going to go ahead and close this.  If problems persist, we can always come back and take another look. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:16, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
