 * there's clearly enough evidence to support a check (and maybe for taking administrative action without CU), but before actioning this, I'd like your opinion on whether these accounts have acted in good faith. The accounts clearly are not trying to deceive or hide and they're making good-faith edits. The master could conceivably have forgotten A Mal's password, created Moneypunch, and then remembered A Mal's password the next day – the timeline would agree with that. Blocks are designed to be preventative, not punitive. If the accounts disclose that they're operated by the same person, would you support blocking neither account (being then-disclosed as alternate accounts)? (I've been gone from clerking for a while, so sorry about the odd question – this is to help me get back into the groove.) Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:12, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , do you see why you should explain your case with evidence and links? "Editing same pages on same Date" doesn't really describe it. Please work on that because clerks shouldn't have to make your case for you. I do have a different take on the situation, Kevin.


 * A Mal created his very short autobiography (which eventually was speedy deleted A7 as seen here).


 * A Mal links his new bio while removing a fair bit in an article with the summary "Alot of outdated information". He then uses Moneypunch to remove more referenced material. He was reverted. The next day he uses an IP, to remove more and added back his bio with the summary "Added a link and changed the schedule shit". He was reverted again.


 * On a different article, A Mal edits first and then as Moneypunch making trivial edits until he sneaks in an edit to get his new autobiography linked and does it with an edit summary "some stuff". His two accounts and IP were collectively reverted so he tries to reintroduce his bio again with the summary "Please do not change this edit.This is a true edit" but was reverted by an admin that speedy deleted it.

 * It looks like he is trying to avoid scrutiny to self-promote to me. If you agree then you might consider endorsing this.
 * I realize that I don't have things in chronological order but that is because I have laid it out based on his goals. He added redlinks about his own article first.
 * Moved to A Mal, oldest master. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 22:15, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * - Requesting indef block for Moneypunch, two weeks for A Mal. Berean, thanks for the catch; I couldn't see the deleted revs. Upon consideration, I think this is enough of a solid case that we don't need a CU (which is ). The two accounts were created within hours and have almost-exclusively edited the same pages at the same time with the same grammar, spelling, filter tags, etc. The edit history of Mal Muslim is very convincing.

 * ✅. It's great to see you back,  GABgab 22:54, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
