Suspected sockpuppets
In April 2023, Newimpartial was topic banned from WP:GENSEX, and their activity declined considerably. In January 2024 LunaHasArrived registered, and in April 2024 started to edit heavily; Newimpartial's activity picked up again shortly after, in May 2024. Their time cards also suggest they are in the same timezone (LunaHasArrived, Newimpartial) and both use British English.

Luna's activity has been almost exclusively focused on areas that Newimpartial was forced to abandon by their topic ban. Since arriving they have made 188 edits to mainspace and article talk pages across 23 articles, all of which are within WP:GENSEX. Of these 23 articles, Newimpartial was heavily involved with 17 of them, with 1583 edits to those articles. Of the remaining six, three were created after Newimpartial was topic banned (Cass Review, Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, and Sall Grover), and the other three Luna has only edited once each.

The overlap in these articles often extends to the specific content. For example, at Talk:Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull labeling her as "pro-women". At Talk:JK Rowling Suissa & Sullivan, 2021 as "fringe". , as "nearing into conspiracy".

At puberty blocker Newimpartial has a paragraph indicating puberty blockers are safe. LunaHasArrived has. At Women's Liberation Front Newimpartial from American radical feminist organization to American radical feminist organization known for opposing transgender rights. Luna's was to revert an edit that changed the short description back to American radical feminist organization.

This shared interest extends beyond article space. Newimpartial was very invested in downgrading the reliability of The Telegraph on transgender topics, having heavily participated in an RfC proposing that in November 2022 (32 edits) that was prompted by their edits elsewhere. LunaHasArrived has shown similar interest, having extensively participated in the recent RfC on that topic (33 edits), the BEFORERFC discussion (20 edits), and the in user space (2 edits); collectively, over 20% of their edits have been on this topic.

Finally, there are also indications that LunaHasArrived is not a new editor, although they have denied using prior accounts. On their first edit (having made a few prior as an IP) they were such as WP:COATRACK, and have otherwise shown signs of precociousness. BilledMammal (talk) 07:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

 * ❌. These two accounts are editing at the same time with an ocean between them, and I did not see any other indications of sockpuppetry from either account. Closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:31, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
