Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Bribemylarr inserted obvious spam into DigitalOcean. 2 minutes later, Elsalepted made a minor change tweaking wikilinks, which served to obscure the initial spammy edit and allow it to stay up undetected for most of a day. Both editors' contribution histories are similar (new accounts, 7 edits since 12/7), which makes me suspect that they are either the same user, or acting in concert. Requesting a CheckUser to confirm, as I think this meets the criteria in CheckUser. DefaultFree (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * - Bribemylarr's spam is unacceptable and I suggest a spam indef regardless of sockpuppetry. Endorsing a check for the sockpuppetry angle. MarioGom (talk) 14:34, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * That's it for now. Blocked. Probably not worth moving and tagging, so I'm closing – though I won't object if a clerk wants to. --Blablubbs (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I see that no blocks were applied? Was that intentional? The SandDoctor  Talk 18:44, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * - pending the sorting of the above. The SandDoctor  Talk 18:44, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Huh, not sure what happened there – wasn't intentional, and should be sorted now. Thanks for the ping. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:53, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Being my own template is quite the upgrade . Glad I could assist, ! I've definitely seen it before and do my best to watch out for accidental non-blocks.  The SandDoctor  Talk 18:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
