Suspected sockpuppets
I was looking at the AFD about Super Chase: Criminal Termination and noticed both of these new editors had edited the article. They have similar edit summaries and they both focus on video games. I suspect that it's a new editor that may not know they shouldn't have multiple accounts without identifying this fact on their User page. However, I also remember this weekend seeing usernames similar to the odd username JardelC SBSY-5100 over the weekend so it might be worth a check. I'm sorry that I can't recall these "Jardel" names at this moment. I realize this case doesn't have the impact of nabbing a big sockfarm but I thought I'd report it any way in case there is more here. Thank you. Liz Read!

 * Thanks for the report, Liz. I'm going through behavior of both accounts, and looking for other possibly related accounts not listed here. MarioGom (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * - Both accounts signed up the same day, have a similar editing style, same edit tags, and overlap in interests. As Liz mentioned, we probably don't need to go for indef if these are the only accounts. I'm seeing a larger group with similar behavior, with being the most recent, which would make this definitely illegit socking if confirmed. However, I'm not entirely sure if I'm looking just at some coincidences. Please, check these 3 accounts against each other, and also check for sleepers. Thank you.

 * – I'm not seeing it. As far as I can tell, these are three new-ish accounts doing copyedits, with one instance of page overlap that is likely caused by Newcomer tasks suggesting the same page for them to edit; MissMaryMack14 also strikes me as dissimilar, and I'm not really seeing the summary similarities. Even assuming that WhaltEvert and JardelC SBSY-5100 are the same person, I don't really see anything that would make me believe that this is abusive socking. I'm inclined to decline this outright, but I'll put it on hold in case there's something I'm overlooking. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * looks like we were both on this simultaneously. I went ahead and ran some checks.  From a CU perspective, all three accounts are ❌.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
