Per their talk page, BaharatlıCheetos2.0 has been warned nine times by other editors in the month since their account was created, including two warnings for edit warring and one warning for using multiple accounts or coordinated editing. The BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı account was created within two days after the most recent warning given to BaharatlıCheetos2.0. A quick comparison of edits by BaharatlıCheetos2.0 and BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı shows that, of the five articles edited by BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı, three were also edited by BaharatlıCheetos2.0. Furthermore, the largest number of edits made by both accounts were to a single, recently created article, Anglo-Turkish war of 1918–1923. This edit by BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı refers to the article as "my article" despite being ostensibly a new user. Huntthetroll (talk) 21:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everybody, I have suspected as its socks or as acting in a set the next editors: Turkabdulhamitci (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), Emre1071qoeo (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki), Sadifan (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). User:88.236.184.51 and a lot of IPs active on the article Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922). Jingiby (talk) 16:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firefangledfeathers, the edits of this group of participants have a strict thematic orientation and coincide in time, and my intuition tells me that they may be related in any way. Jingiby (talk) 05:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I am not sure. Judging strictly by edits to Hellenic Army, (revert 1, revert 2, warning) Jingiby warned BaharatlıCheetos2.0 immediately after BaharatlıCheetos2.0 added information to Hellenic Army that was similar to an edit that Jingiby had previously reverted. Huntthetroll (talk) 16:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that the newer account's Turkish Wikipedia page explicitly states the following:

BaharatlıCheetos2.0 hesabını yanlışlıkla ahirete kavuşturduğumdan dolayı buradan devam edeceğim.

Turukkiler maddesinin şu anki halinin baş mimârı.
— User:BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın_devamı

As translated by Google Translate:

Since I accidentally brought the SpicyCheetos2.0 account to the afterlife, I will continue from here.

The chief architect of the current state of the Turukki article.

I don't speak Turkish myself, so I don't know whether this user is calling the old account dead because of the warnings it received or because the user lost access. Perhaps someone could request an explicit acknowledgement of multiple-account-use policy from the user, one way or another. Huntthetroll (talk) 00:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Firefangledfeathers I agree with you about jumping to conclusions. Just commenting to note that I just found a third "SpicyCheetos" account, which appears to be the first chronologically: tr:Özel:Katkılar/BaharatlıCheetos. Huntthetroll (talk) 16:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know turkish and what it can be inferred is that said sccount was lost by an accident 88.229.58.139 (talk) 19:11, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks bro for helping me BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı (talk) 21:09, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a WP:DUCK case, same username but the second account's name has "devamı" at the end, which translates to "sequel".KhndzorUtogh (talk) 13:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jingiby, the group of editors they've shown largely overlap wtih BaharatlıCheetos2, I think a CheckUser is likely to show if these are connected or not, or if there are more accounts. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 12:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious WP:DUCK per their usernames and EIA results. The new account is called "sequel" so there could be a sock farm. --Mann Mann (talk) 06:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welp, guys my account is not banned or another things. I just forgot my account's password and I am contiuning here. BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı (talk) 17:37, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You guys can ask if my old account banned or another thing BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı (talk) 17:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

@Huntthetroll: What multiple accounts is Jingiby referring to in their warning?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser requested - Because of the accounts added to this case, I am requesting CU. Bbb23 (talk) 16:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Baharatlı stopped using their 2.0 account and started using the "sequel" account with no overlap. I wouldn't jump to an assumption of bad-faith sockpuppetry. I'd suggest just asking them to declare the (obvious) connection more publicly. No comment on the rest of the case. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've (somewhat accidentally, to be honest) invited BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı to comment here. They do claim that the other account was theirs and no longer accessible. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The stuff with the two Baharatlı accounts is sorted to my satisfaction. Jingiby, do you have diff evidence to present for the other suspected sockpuppets? Firefangledfeathers (talk / *contribs) 22:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
