User was recently blocked for disruptive editing and avoiding a topic ban, specifically in relation to a !vote in Austria-Hungary. Ten days after they were blocked, a new user, DracoLazarus, came along and commented in the same RFC, holding the same position as Dragovit.

This coincidence, combined with the similarity of the name, of Drago to Draco, suggests that this new account may be a sock-puppet. This notion is reinforced by the second part of the name; "Lazarus", referencing Lazarus of Bethany being restored to life, with surface level parallels existing between this a user being "restored" to access.

 * - Apologies, you are right. It seems I jumped to conclusions based on the name and the existence of the SPA without properly confirming that their opinions were aligned. Please consider this request withdrawn. BilledMammal (talk) 00:22, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

 * -, as far as I can tell these two accounts !voted in opposite ways at the RfC in question - Dragovit was in favor of two flags, DracoLazarus supported the civil ensign. Am I missing something here? GeneralNotability (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * All right. Closing per filer. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:13, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

W.Godfrey signed up the next month after Dragovit was topic-banned to evade the sanction. Since then, it seems it has been used to evade both topic-ban and temporary blocks of Dragovit. Same interests. Same timecard. Same editing style and edit summaries. MarioGom (talk) 22:01, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
