 * User Dafranca and Dafranca77 are the same. I had problems conecting to Dafranca account so I created the Dafranca77 account. I didn't know the rules, I am new to wikipedia. The Dafranca77 was not used for influence decisions. Sorry for the inconvenience! Dafranca (talk) 17:45, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I don't see a reason to run a checkuser here- it's pretty clear this is the same person. They need to pick one account and stick to it. Have you asked them how they ended up with two accounts? TN X Man 17:38, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

(ec) This is just a harmless case of accidental creation of two parallel accounts by a newcomer, who otherwise seems to be a constructive and well-intentioned contributor. This happens often. The very obviousness of the identity proves that there has been no intent of deception here. No disruptive intent = no illicit sockpuppetry. There is no need to report such cases here; somebody should simply go to the editor and politely explain to them that it would be better to stick to just a single account.
