Both had threateing me not to edit his article,also the first Alluburam user always revert other users edits without any reason.

This report is still structured improperly. Please fix. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Fixed the report. I don't see how this is abusive socking, it looks more like a misplaced editorial dispute to me; the alt account's userpage links to the main account, and the names show that there is no intent to deceive. Closing. Blablubbs&#124;talk 21:46, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Blablubbs, on the other hand, this edit certainly looks like an attempt to deceive, but it's so laughably obvious, it's hard to take it seriously. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @RoySmith: Sigh, and right after my AGF close – let's explore the joe-job angle. . you are certain that  is not your account? Blablubbs&#124;talk 12:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * User:Alluburam 2 is ✅ to User:Alluburam. Others should decide if any action is needed. In spite of the strong technical connection between the two Alluburams, there is one clearly different long-time user on the same IP. There is the possibility that the IP shared by these guys is in an internet cafe. Maybe Alluburam should be asked nicely to use only a single Wikipedia account. If they won't stop, a block of Alluburam 2 might be considered. EdJohnston (talk) 16:26, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Given that they're actively denying use of multiple accounts, which is inherently evasion of scrutiny, I'd consider a block for the alt, and maybe a short one of the master, appropriate, but I'd appreciate a third opinion. -- Blablubbs&#124;talk 17:12, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * After seeming to admit this was their second account they have now denied it. An indef of the alt and a one-week block of the primary might be considered, per the advice of Blablubbs. We are now getting into WP:CIR territory. EdJohnston (talk) 19:22, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Blablubbs at this point, hasn't edited in a few days.  If it's OK with you, I'd like to file this under, "Silly things people sometimes do" and re-close it. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:52, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * RoySmith, I find the back and forth between denying and acknowledging the relationship with the account pretty concerning; I'd still lean towards an indef for the sock and maybe a short block for the master since I agree with Ed that we're either in trolling or CIR territory, but I understand your take – no strong objections to closing from my side. Blablubbs (talk) 13:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've granted this request and blocked A2 (no tags). But  please note that "Silly things people sometimes do" only goes so far.  As long as you contribute productively, everything's fine, but please take this more seriously from here on. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
