Both editors, likely WP:UPE, making similar focused edits in service of claiming that one "Robert Malone" was the true, but unacknowledged "inventor" of RNA vaccines. Evidence is the complete (brief) contribution histories. Alexbrn (talk) 09:09, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

Also my suspicion according to behavioral evidence and the fact that this account started editing shortly after the other was blocked. Adding potentially related addresses/accounts in case it can be useful: Perhaps also worth a WP:COIN thread if this persists... — Paleo Neonate  – 11:43, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand but yes I am a concerned user that is being unfairly targeted based on my opinion of the topic. Thank you.Asailum (talk) 19:55, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * After reading through the linked info page, I'd like to say I believe both of these users are acting in bad faith with this report, as based on Alexbrn's editing and what appears to be a strong bias he opened this sockpuppetry investigation on me after I disagreed strongly about this removal https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RNA_vaccine&diff=1029988072&oldid=1029743206 and provided substantial evidence to prove this was in error https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:RNA_vaccine#Semi-protected_edit_request_on_2_March_2021 Asailum (talk) 20:10, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In light of the fact we've had an obvious promotional/PAID corporate account trying to boost Malone, and which got blocked, a similar new account that suddenly appeared with a similar MO was a good candidate for a SPI, wouldn't you say? This is just a sensible routine precaution to ensure Wikipediae is not being damaged. Alexbrn (talk) 20:23, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * They appear ❌ as far as checkuser evidence goes. .  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:58, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Special:Contributions/Glasspool1 creates a strong impression that the user is Malone or a close associate of him or his company. The media assertions that the removal of Malone's COI on 16 June were censorship has fuelled editing here and correspondence to WP:VRT. I'm not seeing anything to override an WP:AGF reading of events in which is a concerned bystander spurred into action by a misrepresentation of Wikipedia's stand against WP:COI editing. I'm inclined to close NFA on that basis. Cabayi (talk) 10:40, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
