Suspected sockpuppets
This is my first time opening such an investigation on Wikipedia. These three accounts have similar editing patterns on similar pages, most notably the List of wars involving Sri Lanka page and the Draft:Invasion by Chola dynasty page created by Ultra8K themself, before it was made into a redirect. It's also worth noting that all three accounts were created within the span of just 2 months: Ultra8K Ultra8T Asterix4581

The main reason why I opened this investigation is because recently, Asterix4581 suddenly reverted a bunch of edits, most of which were done by me, on the List of wars involving Sri Lanka page, labelling them as "vandalism". Once I reverted these edits, just a day later, Ultra8K left a message on my talk page asking why I "undid the revert that I did". I replied noting that I did not revert "their" edits but Asterix4581's edits. Afterwards they quickly backtracked their words, but continued to defend this supposedly unrelated user's edits.

 * These three are ✅. I don't see any obvious sleepers. Izno (talk) 20:17, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * - Please, block all the accounts, since the talk page exchange linked in the report is a clear attempt to deceive. MarioGom (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Both users are using the exact same arguments not supported by any RS. In addition, one user is explicitly backing up the other user in the above talk page.

Both users also edit on the very same pages, making similar edits:
