Both editors were very interested in the list of largest known stars. See here for Space Infinite and also deleted userpage links to youtube video, as well as, ,. New user is also highly interested in largest known stars and using older or poorer quality sources to make them as large as possible. See here and scroll down. The new user also lists himself as a friend of (a confirmed sock) despite the latter being blocked in July, 3 months before the new user began editing. I am asking for a neutral look-over as I am involved. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I've never suspected this user as a sock, who is enthusiastic but in a little naive of many established editing practices, where the constant need for reverts by other Users is getting a little frustrating. They seemingly lack wisdom on the topic, but I see no agenda for such a narrow-based topic. Arianewiki1 (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2017 (UTC).

 * A few thing stand out here. First of all, the comment about Ynoss above is incorrect. Joey began editing on 6 July almost three weeks before Ynoss blocked. Second, the list of "friends" also includes ZaperaWiki44 and Lithopsian. What these three accounts have in common with respect to Joey is that all of them have reverted Joey's edits to List of largest stars. To me this suggests that they're using the term friend derisively to refer to anyone who disagrees with them. (The fourth friend on the list has been inactive for years, so I'm not sure what's going on there.) Third is the CU results. Based on block dates, CU checks were run against Space Infinite on 23 and 26 July. Both of these would have identified Joey if they were technically related to Space Infinite. All told, I'm inclined to think that this is someone else. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Aha, sorry my bad, I somehow missed looking at Joey's oldest edits. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
