 * and now he's back editing as Special:Contributions/Depeterz after the second account was username blocked (disclosure, by me) as the name of a known person. This is legit? Surprising to me. Thanks      StarM 00:26, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification (and moving my message. As you can tell, this isn't a world I know)       StarM 00:53, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 * This is not sockpuppetry. When an editor is blocked for violations of the username policy they are permitted to continue editing under a different username. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. The standard block message for username violations even goes so far as to suggest registering another account. Evading a soft block is not sockpuppetry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:48, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Focus on Draft:Ahmed Amshi, created after last submission declined. Note, primary (renamed) account is not blocked and could be used. StarM 15:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

 * If I squint real hard, I could see this as a legitimate username change; Depeterz hasn't edited since Ikenna0001 was created. On the other hand, it's certainly possible that they're looking to distance themselves from the paid notice at User:Depeterz, which would be WP:ILLEGIT.  I've left uw-agf-sock on Ikenna0001's talk page and I'll leave it there for now.  But it should be noted that the AGF account is pretty much overdrawn at this point. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like Star Mississippi previously left uw-agf-sock for Ikennna0001, and Ikennna0001 wrote back saying that Depeterz was a friend. In any case, since neither account has edited in more than a month, I agree that closing without further action makes the most sense for the time being. Mz7 (talk) 19:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
