 * I'm not convinced that this is a case of actual sockpuppetry. was created shortly after  was warned by Mlpearc about the improper username – a message that included the option of creating a new account. All three accounts were obviously created for the sole purpose of updating the Hesperia, California article with the current names of the council members. As the names of the officials have now been verified by an unrelated editor I wouldn't usually speak of promotion either. But I see edit warring and a failure of communicating and/or reacting to messages received from other editors. One might also suspect meatpuppetry. Anyhow, the two accounts that were still active after City of Hesperia got blocked have now ceased editing so I don't see a need for blocking them. Further disruption may result in a block though and I wouldn't mind if other admins disagreed with me and blocked them right now. De728631 (talk) 19:26, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
