Psyballed started editing about three days after Sportstir stopped, and immediately started engaging with Iss246 over the same Occupational Health Psychology issues. Edit summaries seem similar in both as well, but the main issue is how Psyballed started so soon after Sportstir to continue the same dispute at a different article with the same editor.

Sportstir's first-ever edit to Health psychology, in March 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Health_psychology&diff=prev&oldid=944808525 with an edit summary of "This is not one of the four divisions in health psych"
Psyballed's second-ever edit to Wikipedia is to remove exactly the same half-sentence from that article: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Health_psychology&diff=prev&oldid=979463086 with an edit summary of "This is not an area of health psych"

My apologies for not doing a better job of explaining the situation. The problem is that there have been a series of accounts who turn up and edit war with Iss246 over the Occupational Health Psychology coverage. I encountered this initially with Mrm7171, but examples over the years include Lightningstrikers earlier this year and Happydaise a while back. Their contributions follow the same pattern, using the most recent three as an example (Sportstir, Psyballed, Lightningstrikers):

I have two concerns. First, User:Bilby wrote, "This speaks a bit to Iss246 as well, but it is part of a common pattern." Is Bilby accusing me of some wrongdoing? I have been the victim of the psyballed and his predecessors.
Second, psyballed has some kind of "thing" about OHP. I explain why I believe this. I initiated 39 WP entries including Herschel Island (Chile), Sam Salz, Social Science & Medicine, Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, Work & Stress, Isador Chein, Irving Millman, and more. I contributed many edits to entries I didn't start, for example, grounded theory, concept inventory, school violence, natural experiment, study design, natural science (psychology), Pygmalion effect, and more.
Why hasn't psyballed come after those entries? In my view, he has an irrational animosity to OHP, an animosity I observe in no other WP editor. He does not bother with text that I have worked on that has only a peripheral connection to OHP or has no connection to OHP. He only attacks text that is more closely connected to OHP. That leads me to believe that he is same guy dressed in different names (MRM7171, Sportstir, Lightningstrikers, Psyballed) returning again and again to vent his irrational animosity regarding OHP.
This what I expect of you WP administrators. I expect you to protect me from this guy. I don't fear from him physically. It is the incessant hassling that I don't like. I want it to stop. You can stop it. Iss246 ( talk) 04:04, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Patriciamoorehead was recently blocked for sock puppetry, and the main article in which the account edited was Industrial and organizational psychology, which suffered from long edit wars between Patriciamoorehead and other editors. A few days after Patriciamoorehead was blocked, User:Sportstir returned to Industrial and Organizational Psychology after a 12 month break and continued the edit warring on the page. The focus of both editors is the presentation of Occupational Health Psychology - for example, this edit by Patriciamoorehead and this similar change by Sportstir. Both have very similar edit summaries. - Bilby ( talk) 06:45, 12 October 2021 (UTC) Bilby ( talk) 06:45, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

This case is being reviewed by Spicy as part of the clerk training process. Please allow him to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on his talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

This user posts for the first time today on sundayclose's talk page and immediately attacks me and ISS246 about issues these prior sockpuppets (and more going back farther) have been attacking us for. There have been long running edit wars and personal attacks going back years. What has changed is how often they return as a new user. Here's their latest attack. It seems odd that they would be complaining about the same issues involving OHP that the prior sockpuppets were complaining about unless they are the same person.
