Brian Kip is the uploader of File:Gino LoPinto.jpg and File:E11EVEN Miami.jpg. EntertainmentWatchdog is the creator of Draft:Gino Lopinto and Draft:E11Even Miami. Brian also submitted EW's draft a mere 2 hours after it was edited by EW to include Brian's picture of the subject.
I am less certain about Futureeditoroftheyear, but they've only made two edits. One of them was to remove a speedy deletion tag from EW's draft. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

- Comment (Redacted) That both accounts began editing on the same topic pretty much at the exact same time screams out that there is coordination between EW and the other account. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:45, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

- I would say that EntertainmentWatchdog and Futureeditoroftheyear are
Likely - sharing a low-activity IP, close timing in edits, but different UAs. Between that and Futureeditoroftheyear's activity, I'm confident they're either the same person or directly coordinating.
Blocked and tagged sock, master blocked one week. Briankipliv is
Unlikely - different geolocation. Other evidence has me convinced that he's UPE, so I will block on those grounds. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:45, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Note: I have oversighted a part of GPL93's comment above - this comes a little too close for comfort to outing the editor. This was clearly a good faith comment ~TNT (she/her • talk) 17:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
