Suspected sockpuppets
These two single-purpose accounts each popped up this month to make edits to the article on Nomad Health. The master's first edits on EnWiki were on 7 September 2023 at 12:05 and 12:06 respectively, while the first edits by the sockpuppet were made at 19:03 and 19:05 later that day.

Both of these accounts appear to be connected by more than mere interest in a topic. The two accounts separately changed the lead of the article to read with very similar text (master, sock), despite a user reverting the master and warning the master about managing a possible conflict of interest.

Contributions on other projects are limited to Commons, where the two uploaded the exact same corporate logo under different file names (master, sock).

As such, these accounts appear to be related. If these two accounts are run by the same person, this would be a violation of our sockpuppetry policy, which states Editors may not use more than one account to contribute to the same page or discussion in a way that suggests they are multiple people and also that t is a violation of this policy to create alternative accounts to confuse or deceive editors who may have a legitimate interest in reviewing your contributions. Because this looks like a duck to me, and I'm doubtful that a CU would be warranted here in light of the clear behavioral evidence, I am simply filing this here without a checkuser request. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 19:36, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
