Suspected sockpuppets
Both users are making the exact same type of edits on an article, both engaging in WP:DE and not adhering to WP:NPOV. Repeatedly re-inserting 'British' into articles on Northern Ireland groups where members have either stated they're Irish or have mixed members, where Northern Irish is more appropriate and neutral. Also both repeatedly, adding 'UK' or 'United Kingdom' to articles where 'Northern Ireland' should be sufficient as a constituent country. Retribuamus was created a day after I reverted Seltzer Shank's repeated edits to Fruupp.

Diffs on both repeatedly replacing 'Northern Irish' or 'Irish' with 'British' in articles: Special:Diff/1162452341 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216532272 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1214666271 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1213320664 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1188675899 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216658306 (Retribuamus)

Diffs on both repeatedly re-inserting United Kingdom or 'UK' where just a constituent country is sufficient: Special:Diff/1214666271 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216600605 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1187938666 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216639241 (Retribuamus)

Diffs where they unnecessarily re-insert ' UK' after "Belfast, Northern Ireland", but with either only a space and no comma, or sometimes without a space before adding it: Special:Diff/1216600605 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216532952 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1187932664 (Seltzer Shank) Special:Diff/1216639241 (Retribuamus) r0paire (talk) 12:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

This account was tag-teaming with A2RK to create a copyvio article about a punk band - thought the name was familiar, they were only blocked for socking a few weeks ago. Ran a check, sure enough these two accounts are ✅ to one another. Girth Summit  (blether) 14:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
