====Suspected sockpuppets====

I have been involved for sometime with an argument across multiple wikipedia pages (including [[Racial policy of Nazi Germany]],[[Nazi racial theories]], and most relevant here: [[Talk:Germany–Iran relations]]), with a person that seemingly changed user accounts multiple times. Ive asked them to identify themselves multiple times when the usernames changed but they never properly did so. On this latest occasion I decided to submit a request for a third opinion on the appropriate board after some time had passed (the other, newest iteration of this user LordSer8000 said he would launch another rfc but did not). I notified the discussion page of this. My edit diff on the talkpage[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Germany%E2%80%93Iran_relations&diff=prev&oldid=1334183551]. Just a few hours later a completely new user, DrMelonsPhD, has posted a lengthy reply saying he wants to add his “third opinion” about why he agrees with the user I am disagreeing with citing extensively the same argument and broadly same sources as him. His diff here.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Germany–Iran_relations&diff=prev&oldid=1334217204] Note that this is not the user who responded due to my post on the Third Opinion Request board, which was MWFwiki who posted three minutes before DrMelonsPhD; DrMelonsPhD’s account was created on October 25, 2025[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/DrMelonsPhD], where the account made some posts on that day, a few more on December 24, and then suddenly reappeared to add its opinion when I requested a third opinion on January 22. LordSer8000 was dormant after October 15, 2025 and didnt post again until January 25, 2026 on our discussion saying he had nothing to add for now.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LordSer8000]. I then came to find out from MWFwiki that previous iterations of the user I had been debating were not present in the discussion page anymore because they had been blocked: Confluencer, and KingofEdits103. The latter’s userpage states it was for being a suspected sock-puppet of an even earlier account called Confluencerist.

Now all of the sudden this account above chimed in, just a few hours after I posted here that I put a submission for a third opinion. How exactly did he have the time to do such “in-depth” reading in such a short amount of time, and being an account created just a few months ago with very few edits? How was he notified so quickly on a talkpage for an article he had never been active before? So I feel evidence is strong enough for a sock-puppet investigation. [[User:M.S. Asher|M.S.
