– A checkuser has completed a check on relevant users in this case, and it is now awaiting administration and close.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

1. Both users created their accounts and the first thing they did was edit their user page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Suprabellum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Starwars54321

2. Both users have limited user pages with simple ~ characters

3. Both users make edits primarily focused on content related to the US space force/Mike Griffin/SpaceX and generally push a conspiracy around their founding making it look like SpaceX was founded by Mike Griffin for the purpose of re-starting of the Strategic Defense Initiative.

4. Recently they both traded off making full reverts of my changes at SpaceX Starshield instead labeling them as "restoring lost edits" or innocuous other change descriptions that make them not sound like reverts. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SpaceX_Starshield&action=history Ergzay (talk) 22:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There may be an additional primary sockpupeteer original account as well, as both seem to be minimal single purpose accounts, but I haven't seen evidence of that account's activity yet. Ergzay (talk) 22:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll note that the users in question suddenly stopped engaging, even on talk pages, as soon as this page was confirmed. Before action is taken, another look should be taken to see if they created additional accounts after this was filed. Ergzay (talk) 01:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dreamy Jazz Can you run the check again with User:Abundantenergy? The account is newly created and immediately started editing on the same pages the previous accounts were editing on. They even edited their user page with the {{User cannon fodder}} template, which is a clear misuse of the template to imply they're engaging in warfare on wikipedia.
