It’s rather fishy that this user’s first edits are to jump right into Talk:2019 Pacific typhoon season with wording similar to the OP (master). It at the least smells of canvassing or meatpuppetry. Jasper Deng (talk) 21:00, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * The accounts are ❌ from a technical perspective. Mz7 (talk) 22:05, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * To elaborate a bit, the accounts are editing from different continents with no obvious sign of proxy use. They share the same UA, but it is a very common one. I understand the suspicion based on SPA, but I'm afraid there's not enough evidence to block here on the basis of sock puppetry—I'll leave it to another admin or clerk to decide whether to block on the basis of canvassing or meatpuppetry.

 * Behaviorally, I don't see anything that makes me suspect socking. Lots of people are interested in storms, and I don't see anything in the contribution history that makes me suspicious.  Closing.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:24, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
