Abby GETBINARY is already blocked, under a spam-user name block. I have blocked Avitalar1 as an obvious block-evading sockpuppet. Abby evans is a little less straightforward. It does appear to be the same person as Abby GETBINARY, but if so it is not clear why she has used those two accounts, or what gain she has sought to get from doing so. There has also been no editing by Abby evans since Abby GETBINARY was blocked. However, we are dealing with someone who has clearly used multiple accounts for promotional purposes, one of those has been used to evade a block, and the accounts Abby evans and Abby GETBINARY have been used concurrently on the same article, so overall it seems reasonable to regard them all as involved in abuse of multiple accounts. Also, all three accounts are here for promotion. I shall therefore block Abby evans too. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:53, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
