Suspected sockpuppets

Extremely suspicious editing overlap. According to their interactions given how many edits they have, they are basically editing the same articles intermittently and definitely the same cartoon/kid show scope including lots of voice actor-related changes. Just now MA restored Joe Swanson that JR created and edit-warred over a redirect. And this edit by MA who has not been active since August last year is instantly reverted by JR. An example of a previous identical edit are these, two. Some interactions are extremely weird, like conflict between these two. While others are adding to each other like these two. To call this irregular is an understatement. Looking at their talk pages, both accounts have been creating unsuitable drafts and articles that got deleted. JR has already been blocked once for disruptive edits. Looking at their contributions, they are mediocre at best, and they never use sources, and get reverted a lot. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 22:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I ran a check on these two accounts plus because of the similar overlap on  (there is other overlap as well, see also ). . All three of them are using the same highly dynamic, shared range with the same UA, but because of the dynamic nature of the range, the results are equally consistent with three separate users who happen to be editing from the same shared network, e.g. a workplace or school. This could be a case of WP:MEAT as opposed to sockpuppetry. Mz7 (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
 * this is telling as well. My instinct is multiple people tag-teaming (and judging from their topics of interest, I'm guessing these are editors on the younger side). I think a block would be punitive rather than preventative at this point, but I'm going to leave them all a sockpuppetry warning. Closing without further action.
