The two accounts have been recently created and have both recently been involved in mass-creations (including mass-creations of redirects; see: JonathanBaird log, (Beanpickle log). It's not clear to me that the two accounts are targeting the same areas, though the pattern of mass-creating items through the extended-confirmed protection level is common. I am requesting a checkuser to check if they are operated by a technically similar entity, given the pattern of mass-creation that each have. It's not clear that this is being done with malice towards any particular article subject (I've patrolled most of the mass-created redirects by Beanpickle and I've not found any abusive redirects being created), but this sort of stuff has the potential to clog up new page patrolling and would be disruptive if coordinated by a single entity. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 00:54, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Similar rapid-fire category edits
 * Similar interest in Asian sports venues, and overlap on quite a few pages
 * Edit summaries include unique grammatical/lexical quirks, e.g. "fixed content"  and "added of the content"

 * - the edit summaries and editing focus make this extremely obvious. Please indef the sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Similar focus on sports venues (albeit broader than *just* Asian sports venues this time).
 * Same rapid-fire page creation.
 * Both creating pages with the edit summary "Fixed typo" (Childson, TGRPerson, a blocked JonathanBaird sock) in spite of there obviously being no typos to fix on non-existent pages.
 * Similar unusual grammar across many, many formulaic edit summaries, esp. in regards to the word content (Compare Childson's "Added a redirect content", e.g. here but on basically all their edits, with JonathanBaird's "Added of the content"
 * Recreation of at least one page previously created by previous sock. (1) AddWitty  NameHere  10:19, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Behaviorally I'd call this a slam dunk. No CU data available for past accounts, but is confirmed and  is a zero-edit acct that created Childson.  all. GeneralNotability (talk) 00:45, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
