Suspected sockpuppets
This potential sockpuppetry initially came to my attention due to a recent response to a warning on Ebbedlila's talk page, in this diff:.

To put a time table on this, over the past few months Ebbedlila has been     , including for excessive errors in page titles (4th link), not seeking consensus for controversial changes (3rd link), suppressing redirects that don't meet the WP:PMRC (5th link), blatantly misunderstanding said criteria (6th link), and not using edit summaries in controversial moves. (7th link).

After the most recent notice was received when Ebbedlila didn't use edit summaries, Crafterstar responded instead, seemingly in error. After this happened, Crafterstar cleared the response:, Ebbedlila blanked the page the next minute: , promised to not move any pages for a "while, maybe permanently" (despite retaining the page mover permission). Two minutes later, Crafterstar blanked their talk page, and performed 25+ movements of draft articles to new titles over the span of 8 minutes, using edit summaries originally requested of Ebbedlila (after not having used them previously):.

Despite Ebbedlila having received warnings for moves being made carelessly throughout these months, at the same time Crafterstar was making similar problematic moves all the while hypothetically avoiding WP:SCRUTINY. Ebbedlila was warned about moving many pages en masse all at once without edit summaries, something Crafterstar kept doing here:. Ebbedlila was also asked to adhere to WP:PMRC, when Crafterstar was CSDing their WP:RDRAFTs here:. Crafterstar's "TV series" subject matter is also frequented by Ebbedlila moves, and edited as recently as yesterday:. Further association in this field can be found when Ebbedlila, as a page mover, would take drafts created by Crafterstar and move them into mainspace without leaving a redirect or edit summary: Utopes (talk / cont) 10:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
