Ordinarily, this scenario would not be too suspicious, but in addition to editing the same areas, they have similar usernames. The similarity of their edits can be seen here and here among other places. Jasper Deng (talk) 07:46, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

 * They aren't outright disruptive but they mostly consist of adding extraneous details, sometimes too detailed per WP:LEDE and therefore in need of reverting/re-editing.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Putting aside that the two accounts are editing the same articles, are their edits disruptive?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:32, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
 * . I've blocked the master for three days and indeffed and tagged the sock. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:32, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Given a warning by one of Dino245's other socks (User:NTCloud) for editing the sandbox. Sockpuppet tag was added to their userpage, but no investigation was opened up and no block was given. Edits to userpage since indicate they've likely been blocked in the past. First edit with this account was here to Sockpuppet (Internet).  Eagles   24/7  (C)  20:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC)


 * This was supposed to merge into the Nicholas1Q SPI.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  15:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

This account is ✅ to. I blocked and tagged the account before I was aware of this report, and, at the same time, indeffed and tagged the master. Please merge this report into the correct master.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:19, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:12, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Which account is the master here, Nicholas1Q or Dino245? If Dino245 is the master, then why is this sock tagged as a sock of Nicholas1Q?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  11:23, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Nicholas1Q. As I see it, Sir Sputnik's merge has to be undone and then redone properly.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:51, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm reviewing this yet again. For the moment, do nothing. I have to review the history. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:15, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * My instructions were wrong. Sir Sputnik's merge was correct. I've put back SS's tags on the Nicholas accounts. I apologize to everyone for my errors. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:26, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
