Suspected sockpuppets
While both editors are new (registered on the 10th and 13th of this month), they surely know their way around Wikipedia and its jargon. 1) They are targetting the same articles (mainly Don't Worry Darling and My Policeman (film)). 2) Their edit summaries are very similar (notice what they both say about "periods", "commas" and "quotations"). 3) They both use Have a good day (see diff and diff) in their comments.

This user threatened to file an SPI against me because I did not respond to their comments on a talk page in less than an hour. This is completely unfounded.

In my short time as a registered Wikipedia user, I have encountered nothing but toxic fellow users literally. I cannot believe someone would file a SPI simply because I did not respond within an hour to their talk page comment. I am being the bigger person and removing myself from this toxicity. Bunch of grown adults throwing a tantrum because they weren't immediately responded to! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunshine773 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

While I agree that the threat to file a SPI based on not responding is ridiculous, I do have mild concerns here about sockpuppetry:


 * Both editors blanked both instances of my pinging them on the article talk page, here and here


 * Both editors on their user talk pages blanked in response to my messages to them, here and here


 * Both editors have a "have a good day" we're-done-here tone, for example here versus here

Admittedly circumstantial, but up to the investigator to determine if it's worth a check.

 * 1) There was no threat to file a SPI. 2) Their failure to reply to the question (despite multiple pings and the fact that they were active) left me with no choice but to respond in the most appropriate way (and live up to their accusation at the same time).

 * "Since you keep ignoring my question, i would live up to the slinging unfounded accusations and file the SPI myself." That was a threat to file an SPI because I didn't respond to you in LESS than an hour while I was discussing the issue with Erik on the talk page for the actual movie (we were resolving the issues there as we were where it started).
