Suspected sockpuppets
Both accounts share many articles in two topic areas:
 * 1) Elon Musk enterprises which they favor.
 * 2) YouTube and Twitch streamers, such as Asmongold, Scott Manley , and Tim Dodd  to which they did similar stats update edits in their first edits.

Both accounts attached shortly after creation to da.wikipedia.org, the Danish Wikipedia, which is small. Warbayx was created on 04:34, 6 December 2021 and attached to da.wikipedia.org on 05:39, 6 December 2021. Xpenz was created on 17:04, 17 April 2022 and attached to da.wikipedia.org on 17:47, 23 April 2022, and also made an edit there. There is no inherent connection between their editing topic of Musk and his companies and the country or language of Denmark.

Both accounts began their career by updating viewing statistics for YouTubers and Twitchers, in some cases the same ones, with identical edit summaries: Xpenz vs. Warbayx. This includes similiar variations in capatilization and punctuation between edits, as well as identical summaries such as "Stats Updated." (Warbayx, Xpenz). This is around 10 edits on their first day, after which they switched over to Musk and his companies related articles.

Today Warbayx activated to repeat Xpenz's edit on SpaceX.

The also both generally edit in a promotional fashion around Musk and his companies. StellarNerd (talk) 21:17, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Additionally, Xpenz was created shortly after the last warning was placed on Warbayx's page, and Warbayx was mostly abandoned for a while before edit a bit more in June. Xpenz jumped into disputes with the same editors. Their talk pages accumulate similar warnings, and encouragements, on the same topics. For example User:QRep2020 warned both Warbayx and Xpenz. --StellarNerd (talk) 05:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Additionally, 62.107.229.154 from Denmark is them, editing Emiru with the same edit summary as Warbayx. --StellarNerd (talk) 05:20, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

62.107.229.154 is the same IP in the last report, but in the last report it didn't edit for six months. After the accounts got blocked, the IP went back to editing. In addition to the evidence on YouTube stats and edit summaries, in the next edits they reverted back in Xpenz's version and placed an image in an article after removal due to Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Xpenz. Nearly all of their edits are to articles edited by Xpenz/Warbayx with a similar point of view. StellarNerd (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
