Copied parts of 's userpage, claiming to be an alt though I don't see any evidence that this is true, followed by Iamskylord creating a similar userpage (copied also from TM), claiming to be TM's alt + both contain sky and have edited Junior Science Talent Search Examination extensively. This is obviously ducky but I'm requesting a CU given the impersonation to check for sleepers. Praxidicae (talk) 18:08, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Added another based on Skylord's draft and their incessant pestering of people about the subject. This appears to be UPE/meat, but whatever...Praxidicae (talk) 18:14, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Clearly not a new user based on their userpage (seriously 4 day old account and you "bite" UPE? C'mon...) Overlap on Web shell with, the normal target, FIITJEE and I suspect but can't confirm quite yet that the userpage is copied as past socks have repeatedly done. There's also xwiki evidence, such as their uploads of poor quality screenshots to commons, like and all caps  Praxidicae (talk) 15:04, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Also noting per their userpage, they are on a VPN, so I'm guessing CU data won't exactly be helpful here. Praxidicae (talk) 15:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

 * - The behavioral evidence is quite interesting. I have a hunch that they may not be really using a VPN, given the clearly pilfered userpage. Thanks, GABgab 20:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Same nonsense (prev. Draft:Dhruv Rathee) with an added bonus of trolling me. I also have some semi-off wiki evidence should a functionary like to see it, let me know and I'll gladly email it, though I generally wouldn't mention it but I think it is relevant here (and to the fact that I can say with a fair amount of certainty that IANAS/O is either meat or proxy editing on Sky's behalf.)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' This is pure bullshit. I do have 1,875,281 subscribers on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/dhruvrathee ), 305K followers on twitter ( https://twitter.com/dhruv_rathee ) and If you guys think I am not notable an just non-sense see https://www.google.com/search?q=dhruv+rathee&tbm=nws.

Dhruv Rathee is ✅, blocked and tagged. The other user (two sea animal accounts) appear to be technically ❌. You may e-mail me the off-wiki evidence if you like. No promises, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry,, your e-mail doesn't illuminate anything for me. It appears that you're trying to include diffs, but instead they are links. I have no administrative rights on Simple Wikipedia, so I can't see anything except a record of deletion. Finally, I have no clue how to look at that gateway thingie.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:57, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It was just a record of the conversation, the gateway link was just the IP. Praxidicae (talk) 19:59, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * But I can't see a record of the conversation because the gateway "link" is not clickable.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:20, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

I am not an Octopus's last edit was on 11th February, and I am not a Seahorse's first edit was on 13th February, so I don't think there's much evidence that these accounts were created for the purpose of evading scrutiny. This has been sat here for over a month now, so in the absence of any additional evidence, I am closing this without action. --Deskana (talk) 10:51, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
