FAFFG Gaming has had a history of making bogus edits on motorsport articles since December 2019, but has not been active since April 2020. The first article in question is Next Gen (NASCAR), which both FAFFG Gaming and Fatah Abr Offic made unsourced edits about Honda being a manufacturer, as evidenced below:


 * Next Gen (NASCAR)
 * FAFFG Gaming's edit (16 March 2020)
 * Fatah Abr Offic's edit (23 May 2020)

The second article in question is the 2022 World Rally Championship, with both accounts claiming that the upcoming hybrid drivetrains will use V8 engines:


 * 2022 World Rally Championship
 * FAFFG Gaming's edit (9 February 2020)
 * FAFFG Gaming's edit (11 March 2020)
 * Fatah Abr Offic's edit (18 April 2020)

Furthermore, there is evidence that both accounts are the same, based on edits on two different articles, with both claiming that the Honda Accord is a pony car:


 * Pony car
 * FAFFG Gaming's edits (24 March 2020)
 * FAFFG Gaming's edits (25 March 2020)
 * FAFFG Gaming's edits (26 March 2020)


 * Honda Accord
 * Fatah Abr Offic's edit (2 May 2020)

It is clear that FAFFG Gaming and their sockpuppet are not here to contribute. Areaseven (talk) 04:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

✅. Normally, this would likely get the master a short term block with the puppet indeffed but he also failed to engage others who have tried to correspond with him on talkpages so an indef for both may be the best way to go here. Leaving open for other admins to help decide. Oh. almost forgot. He previously had the account, before it was soft-blocked for username violation. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  21:19, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , My take on this is there's little downside to a limited term (say, 1 week) block for the master, with the understanding that it leaves their AGF account overdrawn. The worst that happens is they start up again and can be dealt with at that time.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:17, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * master for 1 week, socks indefinitely. Closing. The SandDoctor  Talk 17:27, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
