Suspected sockpuppets
Ezra757 and Sylense night both showed up after complaints by Special:Contributions/2601:2C4:C481:66B0:58B4:2827:C6F7:D004 about the musical genre of singer Maria Brink and the band she is in. Ezra757 and Sylense night both continued the genre-warring behavior of the IP.

Checkuser not needed because the case is fairly obvious.

Perhaps related to this case is the twice-blocked range Special:Contributions/2601:2C4:C401:3B30:0:0:0:0/64 from the same geolocation, also interested in music articles, but much less competent, more disruptive. Binksternet (talk) 18:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

 * The IP is almost certainly the same user as Sylense night, but I won't do anything there as it may be an innocent case of accidentally editing while logged out and it's probably been reassigned to someone else already. The accounts I would also considered linked given their use of almost identical edit summaries here and here and combined with the same agenda and timing I have no problem calling them proven connected. That leaves the question of what to do now. This isn't a case of bad faith editing but rather a fan wanting to make the wording on an article more precise but got involved in a content dispute where both sides communicate poorly. It seems to me preferable to just block the puppet (Ezra757) while leaving the master and suggest they start a talk page discussion. This is what I have done. The other range mentioned looks unrelated and just happens to use the same large cable provider. --Trialpears (talk) 00:20, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
