has used to unbalance discussions. They also created Proxima Centauri c using the account and  says that they created the article. I suspect that may be a strawman sock. All accounts appear to be mostly editing astronomy articles. always tries to minimize the importance of pages created by a certain editor or to propose their merge. They also make similar edits. 🪐Kepler-1229b &#124; talk &#124; contribs🪐 21:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

This is likely a bad faith report, please see this open ANI thread. In any case: I would be fine with a CheckUser confirming that these accounts are not sockpuppets. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 21:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Proxima Centauri c was originally a redirect; I made it into an article. As such, I think I can say that I created it on my userpage. I similarly converted Kepler-90g from a redirect into an article, does that mean User:Dren5144 is my sockpuppet? Of course not.
 * As far as I am aware, User:ConnallES has not participated in any discussions that I also participated in.
 * As for User:Ardenau4, we do know each other over Discord and sometimes end up editing the same articles. That doesn't mean we're the same person.


 * Astonishingly bad faith report. The filer should be blocked for WP:TE/WP:POINTY behaviour. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:08, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not trying to do any tendentious editing or disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. 🪐Kepler-1229b &#124; talk &#124; contribs🪐 15:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: since it seems User:ExoEditor thinks that User:Onetwothreeip is also my sockpuppet or "friend", a CheckUser should verify that they are not a sockpuppet either. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 16:39, 18 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I firmly support the total and permanent ban of SevenSpheresCelestia, who is now closing ANI's against him (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&action=history).
 * SevenSpheresCelestia has (suspiciously) semi-retired today, and apparently he now enters Wikipedia just to vandalize it.
 * I highly suggest an immediate ban of this user and all his possible sockpuppet accounts.
 * Won't further comment this. Cheers. ExoEditor 21:05, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I did not close your ANI thread; I reverted your disruptive reversion of its closure. I placed the semi-retired template on my user page because I am tired of being constantly harassed by users like yourself, and intend to reduce my activity on Wikipedia once this situation is resolved.

 * Pinging from ANI. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 21:21, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
To say the least, I'm unconvinced.
 * 1. The number of pages edited by all three accounts is zero.
 * 2. Ardenau4 appears to be in a different timezone per timecard.
 * 3. "SevenSpheresCelestia: has used @ConnallES: to unbalance discussions.".  SevenSpheresCelestia and ConnallES have never edited the same discussion.
 * 4. They also created Proxima Centauri c using the @SevenSpheresCelestia: account and @ConnallES: says that they created the article ConnallES created the article on 28/5/19 as a stub; it was converted back to a redirect by Elmidae the next day.  SevenSpheresCelestial then recreated the article as a fully-blown on 29/7/20.
 * 5. This all appears to be related to an argument about some articles that is currently the subject of some disruptive editing at ANI.
 * I would suggest just closing this. Black Kite (talk) 21:29, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. 🪐Kepler-1229b &#124; talk &#124; contribs🪐 23:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
