 * -, I see how these accounts appear to be related (though there's no overlap in time between the two), but why do you think this is DuckeggAlex? GeneralNotability (talk) 15:01, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , DuckeggAlex made extensive changes to Roman Diocese which became the focus of an effort by and others to remove all his edits, because they were irredeemable. No other editor has focused single-mindedly on the article. Elizium23 (talk) 15:14, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Just a minor quibble about wording: the focus was to maintain the integrity of the article, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. After numerous attempts to engage at Alex's talk page, and discussion of five possible rollbacks on the article talk page and implemention of four of them, we ended up with a TNT replacement of the article. The upshot was, in fact, to remove all of the user's edits, but that was never the goal, merely the ultimate, and perhaps inevitable consequence of maintaining the quality of the article.

 * In recent edit descriptions for Roman diocese, the user emphasises that he holds a Cambridge MA and studied under A. H. M. Jones, both claims also made by DuckeggAlex. He also uses the same (non-standard) abbreviations SL and RP for "Sacrae Largitiones" and "Res Privata." Anatra is Italian for "duck." Also he says so in his latest edit to the page...

 * So you're saying literally Elizium23 (talk) 17:37, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've blocked based on the quacking. No opinion on CU necessity. --Izno (talk) 23:28, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, duck indeed. Tagged, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:47, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Probably should also notify User:Izno, who has been helpful at Roman diocese with one or more of these socks, in case they wishes to add anything. Mathglot (talk) 20:47, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Wrt to sock evidence, one could add this: Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:03, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
