Abel Gebremariam was blocked indefinitely two weeks ago by Doug Weller for violating the copyright policies. On January 5, the account for Abel Mesganaw was created, and this account is engaging on roughly the same pages (Languages of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Amharic, Amhara people), promoting the same point of view. It appears that this sock puppetry is a good-faith effort resulting from lack of knowledge of the rules of wikipedia. As evidence that this is really the same user, I'd like you to compare by Abel Gebremariam with  by Abel Mesganaw. Landroving Linguist (talk) 07:31, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
