Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)


 * I have recently been having an exchange with in relation to a minor content dispute at Languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A new user called  had now made exactly the same disputed edit with an edit summary which is almost verbatim what the other user added a few days earlier entirely separately on my talk page. There is also an obvious similarity of usernames. I see that the two users also edit the same other articles (1 2) on Congolese languages, often on the same days, sometimes only hours apart.
 * Although Somebody040404 has been an active Wiki user since 2020, the two accounts are not disclosed and their use in the context of a content dispute is clearly a form of misuse - especially when I had just alerted the user to the need to gain a consensus for the change immediately before the switch over occurred on the Languages of the Democratic Republic of the Congo page. —Brigade Piron (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC) —Brigade Piron (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

 * These accounts are ✅ to one another. Their usernames are similar enough for me to have considered just asking them about a connection on their talk page, but I take a dim view of someone edit warring using non-declared alt accounts. One week for the master (JustSomeone08 is the older account, I've renamed the case to reflect that), indef for the sock, and I'll post some guidance on the master's talk page as well.
