Suspected sockpuppets

Note there was edit warring by X-ma998 in several articles   leading up to this. Then an edit was reverted in a separate article and an IP immediately popped up and reinstated X-ma998's edit. That particular IP's editing history is identical to that of X-ma998. Note the edit summary provided by this IP states an apparent understanding of the reasoning behind X-ma998's original edit ("Edits were supposed to help, not hinder") which could only be known if the same editor made both edits. Seems he logged out in an attempt to avoid further warnings for edit warring, as the user page shows several prior warnings for that behavior.

Note also that X-ma998 and IP 24.127.236.115  use the identical edit summary ("Polished template") for their edits, highly indicative of this being the same editor.

Based on editing patterns I'm certain that X-ma998 is actually a new sock of Music2247, already blocked for socking.

I'm including user Qqeeaa here due to a previous accusation of sockpuppetry which connects that user to the same IP address, and the editing behaviour is quite similar as well. SolarFlashDiscussion 17:21, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
