Suspected sockpuppets
Koitot was interested in 18th-century Indian military history. He was indef'd for disruptive editing in December 2023. Since then, several new accounts have popped up making similar edits in the same topic area. Waosonn was reported to AIV; the other two I discovered when checking Waosonn to confirm the connection to Koitot. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 13:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I'm downgrading my finding to . DG has convinced me that it's possible, based on user agent comparison, that these accounts are two different individuals. Behaviourally, I think there are too many coincidences that need explaining even if we discount the checkuser evidence but I'd be willing to entertain the possibility if any of the accounts appealed. I think there are sufficient grounds for the blocks without the sockpuppetry so I'm not inclined to reverse them barring a convincing appeal. Unless DG strongly disagrees, this can probably be archived. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 11:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
