Suspected sockpuppets
Both the master and sock were created on 4 October 2023, the sock being created about two hours after the master. Both the sock and master share an exclusive interest in an individual by the name of Shane Book, and have conducted a similar editing pattern on the article:
 * 1) On October 7, the master overwrites the existing article, adding content copied from Book's faculty page.
 * 2) Two days later, on 9 October, the sock made a now-revdel'd edit. The log reason for this edit's deletion indicates that there was, again, copying from Book's faculty profile.
 * 3) After the sock was reverted by, the sock re-inserted more material to the page in a since-revdel'd edit on 10 October. The log for the revision deletion indicates, once again, copying from this faculty profile.
 * 4) Two months later, the master returned to the article, adding information that was... once again copied from the faculty profile.

Because of the similarities in narrow interest between the two accounts, the behavioral similarity in the two accounts copying from the same source one-after-another, and the similarities in account creation timing, I suspect that there may be some connection between these two accounts. If these two accounts are indeed connected, the accounts would likely be in violation of WP:BADSOCK, which states that [e]ditors may not use more than one account to contribute to the same page or discussion in a way that suggests they are multiple people.

As such, I am requesting that a checkuser investigate to see if there is technical evidence of connection between these two accounts, and to take appropriate action as necessary. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 01:59, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
