Suspected sockpuppets

 * Mkltkn's account was registered in July 2022 and did not edit until 27 September 2023 when it started to edit war on the ASALA article. On 28 September, it was blocked following a report at WP:EWN. Mkltkn did not edit any other articles.
 * Towando's account was registered on 28 September and immediately restored Mkltkn's changes on the ASALA article, so far it has only made one edit. The fact that this account is so new and its first action was to defend a blocked editor is indicative of WP:MEAT at the very least, imo. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  01:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Seems rather obvious to me that this is a sock, a bit too much of a coincidence otherwise. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 01:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Blocked as an obvious sockpuppet created for the purposes of block evasion. Whether it's sock or meat, it's still an account created for the sole purpose of editing on behalf of a blocked editor. - Aoidh (talk) 01:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there anything further you wish to do here, like increase the block of the master, tag the puppet? If you're done, please close. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to do those steps. Tagged the sockpuppet and extended the block for Mkltkn to 2 weeks. I suspect any further blocks for edit warring and sockpuppetry will need to be indefinite but I'd rather not jump right to that option. - Aoidh (talk) 14:27, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
