User:PukeHoopster81 and IP 203.211.104.234. Block evasion; WP:SOCK; WP:DUCK; WP:NOTHERE. Both edit similar topics in very similar manner with heavy reliance on primary sources.

 * The IP named above has not edited since November 2023 so there is not much point in pursuing this further. Since their block expires on 20 May you might keep an eye to see if problems resume at that time. I'm marking this SPI for close. EdJohnston (talk) 23:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
The master is blocked and with TPA revoked. Hooplyfenz posted to their Talk page. Everyone's interested in the same topics, and particularly Tall Blacks in New Zealand. See Talk:New Zealand men's national basketball team; see also Category talk:Wikipedians in New Zealand (just Hooply). Mayhem2meke is a brand new account whose only edits have been to create a userpage, a Talk page, and edited Talk:New Zealand men's national basketball team. Hooply's account is even newer, just has more edits. Even the master's account is relatively new. I'm requesting a CU to confirm and to look for others. The manner of speaking by Hooply is very different from the master - not that I know anything about it, but almost an exaggerated paraody of a dialect. If indeed they are the same person as the master, the deceit is rather elaborate.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Was your comment about IPs inadvertent?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. My thinking was that I wanted to make it clear I provide no comment on the IP mentioned in the block log of the master account (which I confirmed these accounts to). However, it was probably unnecessary for this report. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 18:50, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
