Edit-warring on Accelerated Learning Laboratory (through new accounts to avoid 3RR) to add unencyclopedic, promotional/non-NPOV, first-person language regarding the school's philosophies and practices. This started today with AcceleratedLearningLab, then continued to Editorofthepage1 , and most recently Pingpongman2334 , with the IP pitching in intermittently.

 * - . Given that they were explicitly told to register a new account, I'm going to recommend we treat Editorofthepage1 as the master account even though it's not the oldest. Please block that account and the IP temporarily for edit warring, and Pingpongman2344 indefinitely as a sockpuppet. Please softblock AcceleratedLearningLab indefinitely under the username policy. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:52, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Sir Sputnik - ✅, with the exception of the block placed upon AcceleratedLearningLab. I made it a hard block because the username is promotional and the account made promotional and COI edits on top of this. If this for some reason must be a soft block, please let me know.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:56, 13 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I just didn't want it to look like Editorofthepage1 was evading the block against AcceleratedLearningLab once the temporary block expires, but tagging should accomplish the same thing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:17, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

 * - . Please block the new sock indefinitely and extend the block against Editorofthepag1. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:01, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * , I've Easything - should Editorofthepage1 be indeffed as well? Primefac (talk) 12:29, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Escalating from 24 hours to indefinite is a bit quick if you ask me. I'd go for a second longer, temporary block. Of course I can't see their revdel'ed edits. If these warrant an indefinite block along the lines of WP:NOTHERE or WP:SPAM, then by all means block the master indefinitely as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:32, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, that's why I asked the question. You said to extend the block against Editorofthepag1, but Editorofthepag1 isn't blocked currently. Primefac (talk) 17:16, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, regarding the extension of the block - the content re-added by Easythingtodo1 was the same as the original content added by Editorofthepag1, which is more of a . Hence the indef. Primefac (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm beginning to see the confusion. The block against Editorofthepage1 expired shortly after I made the request to extend it, but before you saw the request. As for block length, a block against a sockmaster doesn't automatically need to be indefinite. If anything, escalating a block too quickly can, in the wrong circumstances, just encourage further sockpuppetry. From what I can see, an indefinite block is not warranted yet, unless of course the revdel'ed content is particularly egregious. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:54, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. The way I figure it the master is still unblocked, so I'm not sure there's much in the way of concern regarding more socking. I'd rather not have an unblocked puppet. Primefac (talk) 17:59, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * There aren't any unblocked puppets. However, the most recent sockpuppet continued the disruptive behaviour that lead to the block against the master account in the first place. Given that, the master account should be blocked to prevent further disruption. Hence, my request for a temporary block against Editorofthepage1. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Blocked for a week. Primefac (talk) 18:58, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:30, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
