On 15:48, 8 July 2018, Ofcom1 was blocked 72 hours for racking up nine reverts over several days at the relatively obscure article Hadi al-Modarresi. On 04:00, 9 July 2018, Jetson 401 was registered; this account immediately jumped into the edit war and began making changes strikingly similar in POV to those proposed by Ofcom1 at 05:15 that same day. Both Ofcom1 and Jetson401 appear to be single-purpose accounts that have made no edits outside of this niche topic area. Given these circumstances, it is hard not to suspect that Ofcom1 created Jetson401 as a sockpuppet account in order to continue edit warring and evade his current block. I am requesting checkuser to verify whether this is actually the case.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 08:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

As can be seen from the previous SPI (which has not even been archived yet), after the single-purpose account was indeffed for creating the  sockpuppet account to force contested changes through at the relatively obscure article Hadi al-Modarresi on 18:44, 14 July 2018, Sinsity101 was registered on 05:27, 16 July 2018 and proceeded to immediately reinstate Jetson401's most recent edits verbatim. This followed suspicious IP activity on 15 July, when the identical edit was restored by 120.18.26.38 and 2001:8003:2a43:1200:688c:b572:8199:2caf left a message on my talk page falsely accusing me of "vandalism" for removing "the thoroughly referenced and balanced contributions I and other have made," although neither IP had changed Jetson401's proposed text in any way.

BTW, if this wasn't clear from my previous comment, I would like to expressly state that I am requesting checkuser in this case.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 06:26, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
