This is a bit of an odd case, but I'll try to explain it the best I can.

Firety16, the original account, was created on 5 Feb and immediately began vandalizing. One of their targets was the teahouse. On 17 Feb, Ilovecats23312 and Ilovecats0519 were created. There is an obvious similarities in username and the fact that they were created within 1 minute of each other is suspicious. There are a few other things which make me convinced that the accounts are the same person:
 * 1) Ilovecats0519 vs Firety16 - the first edit of Ilovecats0519 out of their userspace was on Firety16's TP, where creating the section "Hope you get yourself unblocked soon!!". Ilovecats0519 has had absolutely no interaction with Firety16 before - how did they find the talk page, and why do they want them to be unblocked
 * 2) Ilovecats0519 vs Ilovecats23312 - as noted above the username similarities and the fact that the accounts were created within one minute of each other. Ilovecats0519 created Ilovecats23312's userpage so they were clearly aware of the other account.
 * 3) Firety16 vs Ilovecats23312 - same vandalism at the teahouse and all other named account's talk page. I also note that Ilovecats23312 knows how to use the citation needed template - most (but not all) brand-new users will be unaware that it even exists and how to use it.

At the same time, this could just be three schoolkids playing around. A CU would be useful to determine whether the accounts are under one operator. Pahunkat (talk) 22:02, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
