Suspected sockpuppets
On November 1, 2022, I indefinitely blocked the master for disruptive editing and incompetence. They had been blocked previously on May 30, 2022, for 24h for disruption by a different administrator. The master wanted very badly to come back and edit and promised to behave better. After a tremendous amount of back-and-forth between the master and different administrators, wanted to give them a second chance, and I told him that he should unblock if he wished - and he did yesterday.

Because the user's Talk page was still on my watchlist, I noticed that Vanjagenije left a warning about edit summaries on the user's Talk page. I then started looking at the user's recent edits as they've done a fair number since the unblock. That's when I noticed the master's 52 edits to Draft:Yeji (singer), a page created back in March 2022 by the suspected sock. I also noticed that they used the same platform ("Mobile edit Mobile web edit Advanced mobile edit"); in fact, both users occasionally use the 2017 wikitext editor as well.

I quickly realized that their interests (mostly Korean singers) were the same, and the editor interaction analyzer shows a huge overlap in articles and drafts. Although not particularly important, an odd coincidence is that they both have about 1500-1600 edits. Finally, they created their accounts within a month of each other last year.

There are some dissimilarities. For that reason, I am requesting a check to confirm and to look for any others. Bbb23 (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
