Suspected sockpuppets

After a little hesitation, I am filing this report because I believe may be a sock of the indefinitely blocked. TP was blocked in December 2020 for adding fake and/or inflated chart positions to dozens of Wikipedia articles, primarily the works of American R&B/hip-hop artists. They admitted to their behavior on their talk page (it's still up), and it sounds like they intended on returning to WP after the six month standard offer, but the period is not quite up yet. It appears that CrimsonC 02 created their account in March 2020, but remained almost entirely inactive until two months ago.

Both accounts have made large edits to the chart performance sections on The Way It Is (Keyshia Cole album), Calling All Hearts, and Woman to Woman (Keyshia Cole album). The edits made, so far, appear to be mostly constructive or in good faith, but I am still not convinced. CrimsonC 02 regularly uses iMDb and unofficial YouTube videos as sources (see and ), much like TP (see   and ), trying to pass them off as "accurate information"; he told one user "YouTube videos are a reliable source and you & others can't tell me otherwise". CC02 also signs off with "Good day!" (see ), just like TP (see ).

I apologize if this user is not affiliated with the original account, but TP added false information to approximately 50+ music articles and I could not sit idly and watch something like this happen again. Carbrera (talk) 20:50, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Closing without action as per the above and edits being mostly good faith. Please come back here or go to ANI in the event that things go off the rails. If you are concerned, keep an eye on them, but not much actionable here at this stage.  The SandDoctor  Talk 16:44, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
