The suspected master was attempting to edit war in a poorly sourced claim on Tim Pool and they were eventually blocked. Their main justification they kept using over and over again was that the source, "MEAWW," was a "NewsGuard certified source" and thus reliable. joined the edit war and attempted to restore the edit with the exact same rationale ("Adding this NewsGuard verified source and story"). The suspected master and Amandyke have overlapping interests on cars/motorcycles (as seen here vs. here or here). And overlapping interests on right-wing/libertarian figures besides Tim Pool. The suspected master had edited Thomas Woods, while Amandyke had edited Trevor Loudon. and were newly created accounts whose sole edits were made in an effort to insert the same edit on Tim Pool,. Same deal with the IP (notice the edit summary). Considering the fact that the BLP is a rather popular figure, this may all be coincidental, but I still think a CU is justified.

I Use Dial is an old but relatively inactive account. The editor edit warred to add a non-controversy to the Tim Pool article related to "impeaching the queen" []. Shortly after IUD was blocked LiphradicusEpicus, another old but little used account tried to edit war the same material.[] Both look rather like sleeper accounts. Since they tried to add the same content one after the other I'm concerned they are related. Springee (talk) 13:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC) Springee (talk) 13:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

 * All appear to be ❌ as far as checkuser evidence goes. This will need a behavioral analysis.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   13:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
