The master, created on January 10, had been exclusively making edits to two pages: The Flying Burrito Brothers and Chris Hillman, changing and removing content without any explanation. . Following the block of the master for violation of username policy, another account was created the same day, and started making similar edits only to the above-mentioned pages, changing and removing chunks of information from the pages without any explanation:. If you see both the diffs and compare, this paragraph "Ian Dunlop and Mickey Gauvin, formerly of Gram Parsons' International Submarine Band (ISB), founded the original Flying Burrito Brothers and named it after Parsons informed them of his new country focus. This incarnation of the band never recorded as such, and after heading East allowed Gram Parsons to take the name." and also this segment "(who briefly joined the group as an official member, appearing on a plurality of the tracks)" have been totally eliminated in both the edits. Also notice how the line "Hillman fired him the. following day at the A&M Records lot" is added by both the accounts. On the page of Chris Hillman, edits of both accounts have been made exclusively to the "personal life" section: and. Seems like a WP:DUCK, same article edits in similar style.

, the master was blocked with a softerblock - one that prohibits the account from editing but encourages the user to create a new account, which I think is what they've done here. Pahunkat (talk) 12:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

 * The first account was blocked as a username violation; people blocked in that was are explicitly invited to register an account under a new name, this is not a violation of our sockpuppetry policy. No comment on their editing behaviour - consider reporting to WP:COIN if you suspect COI editing, but it's not illegitimate socking. CU declined, closing.
