Virtually the same username, virtually the same subject area (tropical cyclones). I'm not sure this is in bad faith but given that the master was blocked for edit warring, I'm not too fond of this. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Whilst i did use a different IP address a few weeks ago I used it to bring the issue to an admin and did not have any intention of editing informative wikipedia pages. I did get temporarily banned and respected the ban as it was in order, but i didnt make a separate account to use for further edit warring, it was simply to bring up the issue to an admin in hopes to shed light to the issue on a wikipedia page. 1BanjomanTheBanjo5 (talk) 05:52, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

My current account is an account i made to try contact an admin, and ive just been using it since. I thought i was on my original account but ive just forgotten to switch back since being temporarily banned. Im very sorry for the misunderstanding, and i never had any intention of sock puppetry. 1BanjomanTheBanjo5 (talk) 06:14, 23 October 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1BanjomanTheBanjo5 (talk • contribs)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * There's no block evasion here. Between the choice of usernames, and the comment above, I don't think there's any intent to deceive or game the system. While this falls outside the accepted legitimate uses of multiple accounts, it doesn't cross the line into sockpuppetry. If you haven't done so already, please make a point of reading the policy on the use of multiple accounts, and limit yourself to using just one for most purposes.
