Suspected sock master arrived two years ago with their first edit being this now juxtapose with suspected sock who is merely 9 days old with their first edit being this note the eerie similarity in their edit summaries? Furthermore suspected sock master tried to create the article Cheque (singer) see this this. Now note the first ever edit made by suspected sock see this. I believe this to be sock puppetry or off wiki meat puppetry. The combination of their similar “tone” in the usage of edit summaries, similar edit pattern and interest in the aforementioned article, I believe the duck test might prove to be helpful.

 * Both users claim real-world identities, and based on some quick Googling both of those people do exist. While obviously I can't say for sure that they are the people they claim to be, and I do note some similarities ("fixed typo" / "Fixed Typo", userpage infoboxen), I also see significant differences in editing style, enough for me to think this is probably not the same person. Furthermore, even if they are the same person, there's no obvious policy violation here. Eddyjahmaal was not under any scrutiny at the time they stopped editing, so they were permitted to create a new account if they wanted. Creating a new account while claiming a different real-world identity would definitely be shady, but I don't think it would be blockable on its own. CU request (Eddyjahmaal is likely stale anyways). Closing, but feel free to re-file if more evidence emerges. This is without prejudice to any potential sanctions for COI editing.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 02:36, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
