Suspected sockpuppets
Edit: I just noticed that this ip has seemingly admitted to being Fritz Fehling over at ! Posting this at the top, since it's the most pertinent evidence. – Scyrme (talk) 02:46, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Recently has authored Draft:Constitutional Democracy, an essay which appears to promote their opinions/original resarch regarding the topic, and they have recently intervened at RfD regarding this. Their behaviour seems consistent with the past behaviour of, particularly their past efforts to replace the Constitutional democracy redirect as evident from that users' contributions and talk page. Beyond behavioural similarities, the ip has linked to a .pdf on Google Drive at Draft talk:Constitutional Democracy and Talk:Constitutional democracy; the "details" on Google Drive indicate that the document's "owner" is an account named "Fritz Fehling". I'd appreciate if someone could take a look to see if this is Fritz Fehling evading their block by editing anonymously. As a note, Fritz Fehling appears to have engaged in similar behaviour on the German Wikipedia (de:Benutzer:Fritz Fehling); in the RfD the ip made mention of the German Wikipedia to argue their case, indicating familiarity. Further, the German user page for Fritz Fehling notes that they are/were from New Zealand; the "cross-wiki contribs" link seems to indicate that's where this ip is from. – Scyrme (talk) 02:36, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Their confession that they are indeed Fritz was a while ago, but the editing makes it obvious that it is indeed them. The indef block remains in place - blocking the IP for a year.  Girth Summit  (blether)  11:04, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
