Suspected sockpuppets
User:NoTalkingAllowed and User:IR-TheFirstSoldier were created in May (essentially beginning of June) 2022 and July 2022, respectively; while User:This_a_NPC just a few days ago, on 16 April 2024.

What made me suspicious, is that User:IR-TheFirstSoldier attempted some controversial changes on 16 April 2024, which led to a quick edit war in the page Turkish invasion of Cyprus, with the participation of the recently created User:This_a_NPC, who attempted similar changes just seven hours apart. There is also the possibility that User:This_a_NPC is a sockpuppet of a different user, who was monitoring the page.

User:NoTalkingAllowed, who was created around the same time as User:IR-TheFirstSoldier, hadn't made any edits since the beginning of January 2024, but broke their more-than-three-month inactivity on 16 April; the same day as the aforementioned edit war. I don't deem this last one edit they made (diff) in Turkish Land Forces as controversial, but it occurred hours apart from User:IR-TheFirstSoldier's edits in the same page, which had been reverted just an hour earlier by another editor. It should also be noted that although User:NoTalkingAllowed has only made 43 edits since their creation in – essentially – the beginning of June 2022, their activity overlaps significantly with that of User:IR-TheFirstSoldier, and in general, they both focus on Turkey's defense industry and military history.

It might be nothing, but I believe that a CU check is necessary; just to be sure. Demetrios1993 (talk) 05:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
