Last month, Bodole was given a 3-month partial block from editing anything related to Jacy Reese Anthis, which that article and the one on thebook he wrote The End of Animal Farming, plus a few others. Since that partial block was levied, Bodole has not editied at all.Today, a brand new editor, Life Rabbit, has appeared to edit only those two articles, and to make the same kind of COI edits made previously by Bodole. They also removed the COI banner added to the first article by User:Drmies. This behavior does not appear to be a coincidence, and can most easily be explained by sockpuppetry or meatpupetry. If sockpuppetry, it would be block evasion.The behavioral evidence seems to be clear, but a CU could be helpful.

 * User:Ponyo has now blocked Life Rabbit for block evasion, I presume based on WP:DUCK, so this can be closed. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:44, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

 * There was some technical overlap, but not enough to call it conclusively, so I blocked and tagged Life Rabbit as a suspected sock. I do find it concerning that created an account called "" the day after their attempt to remove a large thread at Talk:Jacy Reese Anthis was reverted, and which was used to edit the Jacy Reese Anthis entry at Wikiquote . In addition to the block of, I also blocked  which was created at the same time but was not used. The master, Bodole, has been blocked 1 week for suspected evasion of their topic ban.--  Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
