The sandbox page for both users are very similar and certainly the same in topic and presentation (compare User:Ocean912345/sandbox and User:Canadian902143/sandbox). Username has the same construct. The similarities are far too great to be a coincident.  P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:15, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * If this is the same person, this falls into the grey area between WP:VALIDALT and WP:INVALIDALT, as I see no actual abuse here. Closing without action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:30, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

These three accounts, and IP addresses, are updating each other's sandboxes to report on future Canadian elections. Request CheckUser to verify whether the accounts are the same person or three different accounts playing some sort of game. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:44, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * User:Canadian8958 admitted to using 3 accounts, because he "got locked out of two previous accounts", see his comment at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Canadian8958/sandbox. --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 12:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

This is not just a simple case of starting new accounts due to old accounts being locked out by lost passwords. The oldest account, Ocean912345, was active in April 2019. It is true that there is no overlap between Canadian 902143 and Canadian8958. These two accounts may be one person who lost a password. Either Ocean912345 is someone else, and the two people are playing some sort of game with shared sandboxes, or they are all one human.

Checkuser is requested to determine whether Ocean912345 and Canadian8958 are the same person or two people. In either case, there is some sort of game going on.

 * Based purely on the similar user name scheme, I'm wondering if this is related to Sockpuppet investigations/Fth55431. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Canadian8958 is ✅ to Ocean912345 whose first edit was a misleading "Fixed Typo" but was garbage. "I had three different snadboxes due to the fact that I got locked out of two previous accounts. I have moved everything from those two sandboxes into the sandbox registered under this account." 1. What two accounts? This edit by Canadian8958 and this edit by Ocean912345 were both on the same IP, same day and within 21 minutes of each other so neither of those are the two accounts mentioned. If the Canadian902143 is one, what is the other account? The edit with Ocean912345 shows that he wasn't locked out of that account as it follows Canadian8958's edit. Doesn't sound right. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  15:59, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Closed with no action. Whatever's going on, none of the accounts have edited pages in common. The user should pick one account and stick to it, but I can't enforce that with blocks unless they actually do something against policy. The IPs are too old.
