User:Swordshieldstan appears to be a sockpuppet used by user:yeungkahchun for editing on political pages. User:Swordshieldstan has on multiple occasions made reversions in instances where User:yeungkahchun has been involved in edit wars with other editors on political articles. Two blatant examples are as follows: User:yeungkahchun had been warned here User_talk:Yeungkahchun earlier this month about removing information about third party candidates from the 2020 United States Presidential Election Page. Today, user:yeungkahchun removed a snippet of information about candidate Jo Jorgensen from the page in this diff here [] and then immediately afterwords user:Swordshieldstan made an larger edit here [] removing information from the lead of the article about third party candidates that user:yeungkahchun had previously been warned not to remove before gaining consensus. This edit was soon reverted by another user here [] after which user:yeungkahchun began making various changes to the article again here [].

Further evidence can be seen in a series of edits made to the Jill Biden article in April, 2020. On April 17, 2020 user:yeungkahchun made an edit to the Jill Biden page adding the "title" parameter to the infobox as shown here []. This edit was challenged and reverted by user:Muboshgu here []. An edit war then promptly ensued with an IP restoring user:yeungkahchun's edits here [], which were again reverted by user:Muboshgu here []. User:Swordshieldstan's account was then created [] and literally one minute after account creation, made an edit here [] to the Jill Biden article to restore user:yeungkahchun's edits that had been reverted. Shortly afterwords, user:yeungkahchun then edited the same article again here []. Given that user:Swordshieldstan's account was literally created in the midst of an edit war started by user:yeungkahchun, and user:Swordshieldstan's first edit was to restore a reverted edit that user:yeungkahchun had made, it seems obvious they are sockpuppets.

Further corroborating evidence can be seen in the edit history's of the accounts. User:Swordshieldstan's edit history [] shows only a handful of edits to three topics, American politics, Hong Kong, and Pokemon. Each of these three topic areas are areas that user:yeungkahchun primarily focuses his edits on as can be see in his edit history here []. XavierGreen (talk) 00:58, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
