User:Bog5576 was blocked yesterday due to edit-warring and not following WP:BLP, by adding non-neutral negative information to various biographies for Houston Mayoral candidates. Within less than a day of the block, User:AfricaUniteJamming began making the exact edits on the Adrian Garcia page that Bog5576 had made prior to being blocked: See the Bog5576 edit here AfricaUnitJamming edit here. Additionally, you can see in this user comparison here that AfricaUnitJamming's edits have only mirrored Bog5576's, since its creation in July. At that time, Bog5576 was in an edit war on the Sylvester Turner page, and the AfricaUniteJamming account was created to start making complimentary edits within one hour of Bog5576. In fact, the account's very first edit was to revert the person Bog5576 was edit-warring with, which you can see here. The account was then inactive after this date, until Bog5576 was blocked, and then AfricaUniteJamming began making reversions on the Adrian Garcia page identical to those of Bog5576, as was described before. No additional significant edits have been made by that account. Other than AfricaUniteJamming creating his userpage within hours of Bog5576 being blocked indefinitely, which you can see here. Bog5576 was blocked for having more than 55 reverts on the Turner page and exhibited similar behaviour on the Garcia page, which AfricaUnite has replicated yesterday and today. AfricaUnite has reverted to the Bog5576 version of the Garcia page twice--that shown above, and here. When I asked AfricaUniteJamming about the coincidence, they stated merely that "I hear your cause for concern. I looked into into user:bog5576. He was banned for vandalism on Sylvester turner's page", on his talk page. This is odd, as an account with barely more than ten edits knows the language of "banning for vandalism". It should also be noted that in no way does the block log for Bog5576 indicate that the situation for their blocking occurred on the Turner page, leading me to believe that there is no real way of them telling what had happened in the way they knew about, without direct knowledge. Lastly, Bog5576 has been blocked for sockpuppetry before, which occurred during his last block for violating 3RR. Usterday (talk) 06:54, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

After being indefinitely blocked, User:Bog5576 was then caught breaching the rule against Sockpuppetry in Sockpuppet_investigations/Bog5576/Archive. Today, a new editor appeared making the same edits, and claiming in the edit summary that the user was reversing the current version to a "Pre-vandalism" state--the precise language used by the blocked editor in the past. The new editor's edit is here, which matches the edit of a previous sock here and the sockmaster here. Usterday (talk) 17:17, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
