 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

A few days ago Aggies14 made some pages that were AFD and he got suspended temporarily for removing them, now this guy comes along and only posts in the pages he made. Wgolf (talk) 20:16, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Pretty blatant WP:DUCK here. He didn't even try to hide it. But he was blocked April 28 for 31 hours so that has expired. So he is not block evading. This new account was created after the block was over, so no problem there. We are allowed to have multiple accounts as long as we don't abuse it by making edits that an editor might assume was a different person. We are supposed to make that fact known at the top of any multiple accounts so it's clear and above board. This editor has not done that but maybe he/she doesn't know the rules here. This dual account should be told bluntly that this type of subterfuge will not be tolerated and that they should really only use one account. Certainly only one account per topic (unless under the wing of an administrator for personal reasons, which is likely not the case here). Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:54, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I'll ignore for a moment the whole "sockpuppet" angle (weird to do at SPI, I know). Concerns that I have about Aggies14/Pellaman are the following... They have never left a comment anywhere, not even so much as an edit summary. No edits to user, talk, Wikipedia, or article talk space. Every edit has been to article space, except a few edits to this template (one they created themselves). That means this is an account that has been completely uncommunicative.


 * I'm also concerned that this editor is engaged in the exact same behavior that led to a block previously. They have a habit of removing AfD tags from articles that they created when those articles are nominated for deletion. This behavior continues despite warnings and despite being blocked for it. I'm also concerned because they are repeatedly creating pages that don't merit inclusion (out of the 15 pages created in total between the two accounts only 4 are still in existence, and 2 of those are currently at AfD, though they may survive those discussions as they appear right now). All of this suggests a major WP:CIR problem. I haven't seen anything from this editor that suggests maliciousness, but their editing history suggests that they are a net detriment to the project.


 * I don't know that I'm willing to block quite yet. What I'm going to do is this... I'm going to close this case because I don't see any abuse of multiple accounts. I will watchlist both user talk pages. And I will leave a note for the editor on both user talk pages explaining my concerns. I don't expect the editor to respond, because they haven't done so prior to this. But I will warn them that any further disruption and I will block both accounts indefinitely. --  At am a  頭 19:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
