Suspected sockpuppets
He has similar African related edits. Especially on History of science and technology in Africa and Bantu related articles. Saw both on Battle of Manzikert today, got my suspection by both pushing a certain quote on the page. As Speedgrapher16 edits something (on Sivas) and it get reverted, Wojak6 reverts it back. Same thing can be seen on Alp Arslan. Beshogur (talk) 09:04, 30 October 2022 (UTC).

 * - The similarities between the two users are significant, e.g., the article intersection, the many edits at wiktionary, and the usernames. There are however some technical differences. One uses a tool (WP:UCB) that the other doesn't, and they use different mobile platforms (never have understood how much difference that makes). They have also both been around for quite some time with zero blocks, although with a great many warnings on their Talk pages, to which they almost never respond. For these reasons, I think a CU would be best to confirm and to look for any other accounts. Bbb23 (talk) 13:22, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Normally I would show some AGF on a first-time sock, but given the number of assorted warnings on their talk page, I'm going to indef both.  They can explain themselves in an unblock request if they wish to continue editing. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:43, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Judging by their editing activity, Techno-Freak might be a sleeper. In Vahan (Byzantine commander), they restored the same edit as indeffed user Wojak6, who had been edit warring there. Wojak6 is known to have already socked once.

They might not even be related and simply have the same opinion, but there are so many cases of sockpuppetry in the AA2 that it's hard to keep good faith imo. HistoryofIran (talk) 10:58, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Stumbled upon Clark234 adding Sword and Scimitar as a source written the same way in a reference as Speedgrapher16(a confirmed sock of Wojak6). I doubt this is a coincidence. The last sweep for Wojak6 socks was 30 October, Clark234 started editing 8 November. --Kansas Bear (talk) 01:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
