1. The2002 bmw has made several disruptive edits on Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE (diff, diff), which previous socks Eltomas2003 (talk · contribs) and TommyGu (talk · contribs) also made disruptive edits on.
2. The2002 bmw has made edits to Kirby Super Star (diff), which previous socks Kirbyaddict99 (talk · contribs) and TommyGu (talk · contribs) also made edits on.
3. The2002 bmw has made disruptive edits to Wikipedia:Standard offer (diffs), which previous sock Kirbyaddict99 (talk · contribs) also made similar disruptive edits to.
4. The2002_bmw adds fair use rationale ([10]) to an image file uploaded by previous sock Kirbyaddict99 (talk · contribs) after it was recently listed for deletion.
5. The2002_bmw makes a sarcastic post on my talk page (diff) obviously hinting that they are sockpuppet because they are still sour and annoyed about being caught by me for previously block evading. --The1337gamer (talk) 15:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am only here because of my love for the game, not for any other purpose, I am only here so that I can make this article featured in the main page any way possible, if it were featured in the main page, I would be satisfied. I am not affiliated with any of the parties listed above. All the other events happened a year ago, so it would be difficult for you to apply a physical link between me and others. --Therealgamer1234 (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Not entirely sure it counts as explicit evidence, but the tone of communication I've had with Therealgamer1234 reminds me a little of earlier pressuring attempts by Eltomas2003 in 2018 to push me into article expansions/nominations (currently in my Archive under "Request" and "Lets nominate TMS FE as a featured article"). Just now I got some messages after the initial contact which were asking for my location (which I moved into my archive), and on the current talk page a wish to become my "ally". This struck me as odd behaviour, and correlated to emails that I got from Eltomas2003 over a previous Tokyo Mirage Sessions FAC. I've done my best to be civil. If this is all an honest mistake, well and good, but I think this should be taken into consideration. --ProtoDrake (talk) 14:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Agreed. I have done my best to assume good faith thus far, but given the similarity of syntactical structures and logic across multiple accounts regarding the same article, I was obligated to open this investigation. Hopefully this just ends up being a misunderstanding, but we can never be too safe. Unlimitedlead (talk) 14:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Unlimitedlead: Thank you. Therealgamer1234 (talk) 14:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  To add to the above, they're continuing their odd behaviour by adding a...GAR to my talk page, then reverting it immediately, and trying to guess my nationality through GANs? I'm not sure what's going on here. --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:43, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @ProtoDrake: I just wanted to take back my reassesment out of mistake, I wish to take it back. Sorry if I alienated you. Therealgamer1234 (talk) 19:57, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I have OCD, which makes it difficult for me to handle my urges, and I am trying to solve it, but sometimes I have the impulse to do random things I am interested in, I apologize for this and thank you for your understanding. Therealgamer1234 (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  After perusing the @Therealgamer1234's recent edits, I am perturbed. Their behavior towards @ProtoDrake alarms me as harassment and unwelcome advances to attempt to obtain personal information. If the user is not blocked for being a sockpuppet, then certainly they might for the unsettling behavior demonstrated towards ProtoDrake. In any case, it appears that the user is attempting to abandon their account: [16]. Unlimitedlead (talk) 20:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  For what it's worth, I declined their (Therealgamer1234) request to vanish. Not eligible, of course. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
