If not sock, meat puppetry. These editors are editing the same articles and working in tandem, see Green Day from here to current. Articles in common are numerous and include Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Bryar, Falling in Reverse, Blondie (band) and Holographic Sands.

Editing style is the same. Flat Out let's discuss it 01:43, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have listed some of the common articles, view history in each of those shows they are editing in unison. They have the same, abrupt and confrontational style, see here and here. You will note that one almost always follows the other's edits at Green day and Holographic Sands for example. Flat Out let's discuss it 00:26, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

•  Additional information needed - Flat Out, please provide some evidence (preferably some Wp:diffs) to show connection between those two accounts. Use diffs to explain how is their editing style similar. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:47, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk endorsed BcBryar and PacoDaKing14Sportz have a very suspicious rationale on the Bob Bryar AfD. BcBryar (1, 2) and PacoDaKing14Sportz (3, 4, 5, 6) both make frequent visits to the help desk for similar requests with similar phrasing ("Can somebody..."). BcBryar and PacoDaKing14Sportz also added that the artist is a keyboardist. After looking through the evidence, it almost seems like a very straightforward case. However, the rationale used for the Matt Pellissier AfD (BcBryar, PacoDaKing14Sportz) was slightly different, thought it appears to show the same indifference. I'd like a checkuser to take a look at these accounts just to make sure. Mike V • Talk 04:32, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RaisedByWolvesInReverse is a new account, created one day and some hours after the blocking of I.Wont.Give.In, a known sockpuppet of TheUserOfWiki14Robbie. The account has been asking for restoration of the deleted article Swim (Emily's Army EP), which was created by I.Wont.Give.In. (First the account asked for restoration at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and then on my talk page.) Some of the comments also imply some knowledge of the editing history of the article before it was deleted. Apart from the edits about that article, all of RaisedByWolvesInReverse's edits have been on articles which were edited by I.Wont.Give.In in the week before that account was blocked: e.g. I.Wont.Give.In/RaisedByWolvesInReverse and I.Wont.Give.In/RaisedByWolvesInReverse. I am close to blocking as a WP:DUCK case, but I would prefer to ask for a CheckUser to be sure.

• Maybe not, but it's good to have it placed beyond all doubt. Account blocked and tagged. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
