Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

I am filing this investigation in connection with this report where I was told by the administrator to take this course of action concerning the accounts in question. Their contribution histories show a tight interest overlap in certain topics/topic areas; given this background, the main piece of evidence which I believe shows that these two accounts are being used for sockpuppetry are these two edits,. The accounts did not just revert my edits, but reverted different parts of my edits - in clear violation of Wikipedia's policy on using alternative accounts by attempting to "Create an illusion of support" and "Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts" (the user has not made any attempt anywhere to show that the two accounts are linked).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything I missed Restflux (talk) 09:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

 * - This case arises from an EW-report against the filer, the result of which was that the filer was pblocked for one week from 2023 Chinese balloon incident. The filer complained to the blocking admin,, about various aspects of the block, one of which was the filer's suspicions that these two editors are socks. Daniel did not comment on the merits of the allegations, just that SPI was the proper venue to investigate them. Generally, this kind of filing makes me want to close it as retaliatory, but in this instance, there is sufficient evidence of similarity to warrant a check, e.g., strong similarity in edit summaries, intersection of articles for editors, neither of whom has made that many edits (116 for the alleged master and 60 for the suspected sock), and occasional use of mobile platform by both editors.

 * - per Bbb23. Also, I suspect that both of these accounts are socks of WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Warbayx. See . Thanks, Spicy (talk) 19:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I've added who is editing the same Elon Musk-related topics and who has a similar name to, a blocked sock of Warbayx. Spicy (talk) 19:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Newley created account with a similar focus on creating as many links as possible between Mike Griffin and SpaceX, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_D._Griffin&diff=prev&oldid=1171944993 similar to changes by confirmed sockpuppet knilrats e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1097302664 I suspect it’s the same guy trying to push the same conspiracy theory about Mike Griffin influencing SpaceX to restart the Brilliant Pebbles program. 2607:FEA8:1FE1:F100:FCF3:72BF:76B4:A235 (talk) 02:40, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

 * This is technically but I'd lean towards . Based on the behaviour I'm not convinced that this is the same person but no prejudice to another cade being filed if further evidence comes to life. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:49, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
