Suspected sockpuppets
Two brand new accounts within the last hour. JoshuaWurman has no edits on EN Wiki, but uploaded a new photo to the Commons (only global edits). Kansastornadostudy is created and two minutes after creation, uses the photo uploaded to the Commons by "JoshuaWurman" half an hour earlier to change the photo on Joshua Wurman as their only edit. Something weird is going on here. And given the account who uploaded the photo happens to be named identical to the mainspace article person, I have no idea what is going on. Can an admin confirm if these are the same person on two accounts trying to be sneaky in any way?

 * Even if this is the same person, using one account on Commons and another on the English Wikipedia isn't actually a violation of the sock policy. It's possible that there is a conflict of interest situation going on but that is best addressed by talking to the editor rather than filing a SPI. Spicy (talk) 01:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
