 * it is the same as the other two editors I sent in. It is one of those odd things where someone created 2 accounts which is in violation of policy, which is why I reported them. I used twinkle and it posted here, if this is not the correct board, what would be? Thanks, Galendalia (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

It may be odd, but it is not - as far as I know - definitive proof of sockpuppetry or a form of disruptive editing. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:17, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Please be aware that just having multiple accounts is not prohibited on Wikipedia, only the use of multiple accounts for illegitimate purposes. In the future, please do not report accounts with no edits unless you have specific evidence of abusive sockpuppetry (accusing editors right off the bat may in itself be a WP:BITE violation). Because there is insufficient evidence of abusive sockpuppetry here, I am closing these cases without action. Mz7 (talk) 18:49, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
