Though the puppeteer stopped using the "Alexsautographs" account in 2016 and I was aware that he continued to edit under the IP address, I was not aware until today that he was abusing multiple registered accounts. Check the edit history of User:Alexsautographs/sandbox to see how the editor is using different accounts to take "credit" for the creation of various articles, all the same thinly sourced, sports biographies that are often quickly deleted. Notice that most edits that create a page by either account uses the phrase "N E W" in the first edit summary. Also note that the account "Alexsautographs" created many articles on the Baseball Reference Bullpen Wiki that these accounts are now creating here (Vic Travis: BR BullpenWikipedia; Rod Belcher: BR Bullpen Wikipedia (note that on this one the puppeteer used the BR Bullpen category format rather than the Wikipedia format) – Muboshgu (talk) 21:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

 * while it's unusual for one user to abandon an account and later create a new one, and then do it again, I don't see anything here that violates the multiple accounts policy. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 11:56, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
