Suspected sockpuppets
Pro forma, both accounts already blocked for username. Both editing Zellers Lavalizard101 (talk) 12:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC) I was once told off for not filing a pro forma SPI for obvious socking when both accounts were already blocked for username and promotional editing.

 * I'm going to be honest, this really didn't need an SPI filing. Obvious vandalism, disruption or promotional editing usually doesn't require SPI even when ongoing as it can be handled more efficiently at other venues (AIV, UAA). That goes double when the accounts are already blocked and so there's not even anything to do. SPI is expensive, so use it wisely. Closing. firefly  ( t · c ) 12:10, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Lavalizard101 - I'm sorry that you were told that, as (to my knowledge!) that's never been recommended practice absent a compelling need to document the connection. Take this as a reversal of that previous recommendation :) firefly  ( t · c ) 12:18, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
