Suspect editing while logged out, history of dispute on the Cuban Sandwich article. Blanks warnings [] like named account [] and after the page is protected logs in to say this nice collegial message [] before apparently rage quitting. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:34, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * A little digging in the histories here leads me to believe that this account is connected to the previous investigations editing styles are similar and so is editing interests [], [] show the talk and user blanking when there is any problems or concerns with their editing. The editing interests of all accounts are typically about Florida related subjects. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:40, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * COMMENT I seriously doubt that Averette accidentally edited without logging in. I figured it was him the first time and left a warning on the IP's talk page. I did NOT place the warning on his user talk page because I couldn't be 100% sure and didn't want to accuse him just on a hunch. But then the IP user deleted the warning and repeated the same edit. And then he did it AGAIN a third time a few hours later. If it happened once, sure, anybody could make that mistake. But three times, while deleting a message that specifically warned against editing while not logged in? By a user who has been an active (and argumentative) editor for a decade? It's quite unlikely, imo. Zeng8r (talk) 20:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

 * seems to me that Averette and the IP both have a penchant for referring to any edit they disagree with as vandalism, and also that it's likely that Averette simply forgot to log in before jumping into an edit war on Cuban sandwich. I'm declining to block the account for sockpuppetry, and I'm declining to block the IP for evasion of scrutiny and edit-warring since the page is now protected. I'm also treating this as separate from the previous reports under Sockpuppet investigations/Miamiboyzinhere, and so Averette's continued participation should not be construed as long-term block evasion.
 * please remember to log in when you edit. Editing while logged out in a way which makes it seem as though you are avoiding scrutiny of your edits is against our multiple accounts policy and will result in you being blocked from editing. Thank you.

This IP was already confirmed by CheckUser to be User:Averette, who has been indefinitely banned for tendentious editing and behavior regarding the same edits to the same article that the IP just edited, again.

 * the IP is not confirmed by a checkuser: it is forbidden by policy for checkusers to connect accounts with IPs. The IP's behaviour makes an obvious case that it's Averette, though, and I have blocked it now for one year. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 11:33, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
