Suspected sockpuppets
Their only edits are to reinstate Mario's, quite shortly (two days) after my revert of Mario's edit. The suspected sock's edits are also temporally disjoint from Mario's edits, with 5-6 hours of separation. Mario nearly received a 1RR restriction in the arbcom case so there may be a reason for them to commit meat or sockpuppetry here. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I think this would most likely be meatpuppetry due to the sporadic nature of the suspected sock’s edits and the large delay between the two accounts edits. Seawolf35 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * No, meatpuppetry often has close temporal proximity. I gently recommend that you do not comment on SPI's that aren't your own until you gain more experience, as it takes a lot of experience to properly assess the situation.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, noted. Seawolf35 (talk) 18:28, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please explain this relationship.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * This is my one and only account, and I am very confused that this user tried to re-instate my edits to Lee’s page. My goal as explained in my appeal for the reversion of the topic ban was to abide by any rules that might come with that and I certainly don’t have the stamina to engage in edit wars like this anymore. This may be an instance of WP:BRANDNEW or WP:SOCKOPHOBIA (I think? if there’s an point where an unrelated editor - namely new accounts - does something to or makes it look like an attempt to pin the blame on someone else for something they didn’t do).

 * Whycantijustusethis2 is due to suspected proxy usage. I'll leave this open but without CU I don't think there's enough evidence to do much here. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
 * CU and behavioural evidence is not convincing enough to take action. Considering the amount of general immaturity and nonsense in this topic area, I wouldn't be surprised if this is some troll attempting a joe job, but there's no conclusive evidence of that either.
