Suspected sockpuppets
I am requesting for an investigation on the user DinoSoupCanada (DNS) and Canadian Owl (CO). Though one mainly via a desktop (DNS) and the other using Mobile edits (CO), Both activities done by the user has been suspiciously in line, which led me to believe that these two accounts are run by the same person. based on these evidence;

CO has followed the editing topics of DNS. Most times overlapping on the same article with edit stamps some nearing hours or days between the two users. These editing topics are Roblox (Piggy), The 2022 Russo-Ukrainian war, Recent/current events (ie: 2023 Chinese balloon incident & 2023 Drone attacts), The handover of Hongkong, and importantly the Suicide of Eden Knight (i'll get to this later). But out of the two DSC has been more active than CO. From this, i presume the plausability that CO is a sockpuppet following Sockmaster DSC.

 Evidence  Detailed, See Canadian Owl's History and DinoSoupCanada's History lists:
 * First from the 2022 Russo-Ukranian war: Both DinoSoupCanada & Canadian Owl's edit topics overlaps. Both users edit topics overlaps and with the span of hours. (ex:, , )
 * Both users has the same scope of edit focuses;
 * both users had interest on editing "Roblox-esque game" topics seen on Canadian Owl's piggy edit and DinoSoupCanada's draft and edit
 * both users edits the recent/current events topic of alex bale, 2023 Iran Drone attacts DNS & CO, 2023 Chinese Spy balloon DSC & CO, 2023 Yukon high-altitude object DNS & CO, 2023 Huron Object DNS and CO, and the Killing of Briana Ghey DNS and CO
 * Both tackle Transgender events (ie. the Killing of Briana Ghey, the Suicide of Eden Knight, Michael_Pocalyko.)
 * other than editing FM, CO has rarely edited an article/topic that is unrelated with DSC's edit patterns/footprint. (see ref above; mainly ref [4] & [5] )

 Reason  Now that we established evidence on a plausible connection between the two, we go to reasoning. Whilst the two accounts would get into minor issues, such as the time how CO engaged in a minor revert war by removing the merge banner of 2023 Chinese balloon without concensus 2 hours after DSC's edit and the addition of a merge proposal by Gothique Revival. Now, I believe these user's sockpuppetry isn't used in good faith. possibly ban aversion. Notably during the Suicide of Eden and connection to SI/Pocalyko collection.


 * Both DSC and CO are active in the articles relating to this case. DSC was mainly editing on Michael_Pocalyko, DSC was then blocked from editing for a week due to sending a personal attack against another user [see: ]. after this CO then replied to the same talk box and talked back to DSC. After the enacting of the 1 week block to DSC, the comparatively unactive CO started to pick up edits on the same edit topics of DSC; Chinese spy balloon and Eden Knight (see: ).


 * Another case can be seen from DSC's involvement in the article of the Briana Ghey. initially DSC had put in an opinion of "don't care what the police say about this" on the issue of including a picture of briana, but then retracted due to being too personal for DSC to have good judgement (see: ). Moments later CO engaged in a revert war over the matter deletion of the article without consensus and with profanities (see: )

TL:DR From here, how both users had the same focus topics, edits on articles (which most times overlap each other and within the same timeframe), and sockpuppet-esque behavior to further one's idea; a check on sockpuppetry is needed. Kaliper1 (talk) 17:58, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

 * by only one mistake in keeping their accounts separate. Could you please explain what you mean? Also, I assume in this instance you chose not to block unblocked accounts but that there is no reason not to do so or to tag them all as confirmed?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Basically they tried to keep one account for mobile, one for PC, but they crossed it on one CU entry which makes it confirmed. I also never block from CU results on an SPI unless there is an immediate/urgent need, so there is no reason to hold back on doing what is needed. -- Amanda (she/her)  18:19, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
