 * . There are a couple problems with this CheckUser request. Firstly, it is not against the rules for someone to stop editing with one account and then resume editing with another account (WP:CLEANSTART). In order to justify a check on suspicion of sockpuppetry, there needs to be some illegitimate reason for using multiple accounts, such as attempting to mislead the community. By disclosing the prior account, this user is being forthcoming about their use of multiple accounts, and this is the behavior that we actually want to encourage. Secondly, even if the user was misusing multiple accounts, the Asher2012 account has not edited since March 2023 and is therefore too to be checked (CU data is only stored in the database for 90 days). .
