Suspected sockpuppets
User is temp blocked for WP:3R; see Talk:Top Gun: Maverick and user's own talk page for context. Before creating account, user used 115.66.125.189. After block began, 210.245.54.31 made edits to the same section of the article as Donthreatenme and the earlier IP editor. One of the edits is more or less the same as in the version that Donthreateme kept reverting to, and the other uses the same "arrived from standby" phrase. Ylee (talk) 09:00, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Note that Spur.us claims 210.245.54.31 is a possible proxy. Note also that checkusers are limited in what they can say about IP editors so this case will likely have to be evaluated on behavioural, not checkuser, grounds. --Yamla (talk) 10:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No comment on either of the IPs, but is ✅ to:
 * They are editing in the exact same topic area, and while they only created that account after the initial block expired, I do not see it as a valid cleanstart or alt account but as an attempt to evade scrutiny. I will block the sock, and warn the master. I'll leave this open should anyone else want to take a close look at the 210 IP. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:22, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I ran a proxy check on 210.245.54.31. Additional information from the spur API combined with behaviour makes me think it's more likely than not that it's a proxy, but I can't technically confirm. The IP edits are a week old, so it may well be that the proxy has rotated/gone inactive by now. The action taken by Girth strikes me as sufficient for the time being, so I'm closing without further action. --Blablubbs (talk) 23:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
