This may not be legit evidence, but I'm a writer. I've written a couple of (unpublished) novels. I learned a long time ago that a person's "voice" comes out in their writing; people have different ways of writing English. Some people are short and quick, while others like to give intimate detail, but

The first account shows up and starts editing these 3 or 4 articles. When they get reverted, they don't take it to talk, but suddenly this other account appears and begins editing the same articles. It seemed extremely strange. They may not be the same person, but they may be meatpuppets or something

edits a small group of articles, the same identical articles, odd wikignoming, but more to the point, generally getting edits reverted, and then when warned, vanishing and recreating a new account.

User does not respond to talk page queries or warnings, even if such messages are politely worded and questioning rather than accusing. Their use of English doesn't make sense; either they are young, an English-as-a-second-language-speaker, or they are trying to make the article not make sense, one

Strictly behaviourally speaking, I do not think it's definitive that Andidimatteo is the sockmaster. The other accounts almost exclusively use the visual editor whereas Andidimatteo does not. Furthermore, Andidimatteo does not use capitals in their edit summaries whereas the other accounts. Also,

bit at a time. The edits to the lead of the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration article are the best example of their style. Here, they changed a chronological lead to have modern info, then go back to 1939, then boom, more on the modern Celebration.

As Mkdw says, I don't think the evidence is quite conclusive enough to determine that Andidimatteo is a sockpuppet account beyond reasonable doubt and I don't think it's reasonable to take any action based on an inconclusive

I've blocked the confirmed accounts. If the decision is that Andidimatteo is a sock, then that account is the master. If not, Brycesierra2296 is the master. Either way, this case needs to be moved after that

Andidimatteo and precisely outlines what grammatical problem they are fixing whereas the other accounts often summarize broadly by saying "fixing grammatical errors". I do find the timeline and crossover at

I'm a real person! I had to make a Knowledge (XXG) account for my journalism editing class at Cal Poly SLO, our final project was to edit four articles. This is my only Knowledge (XXG) account.

You're right that I use local time. I realize it can be ambiguous for other users in different timezones and that UTC is unambiguous, but even if I did use UTC, unless

You're correct about which account is oldest (sorry about that), but your dates are odd. Do you use UTC time? If not, you should.--

The connection between them seems to be making the exact same types of edits, and using almost identical edit summaries.
