This started with an edit-warring report brought by the master: WP:AN3. While reviewing the report, I discovered that the master had acknowledged that Fri74eodo was their account, acting like this was a case of a WP:CLEANSTART, which, of course, made no sense as both accounts were created within hours of each other and both accounts continued to edit.

After I blocked and tagged the sock and blocked the master for one week, on their Talk page the master implied that there were other accounts (" Please don't let the checkusers see all my other accounts because then I am banned forever!"). I then asked the master to identify any other accounts, and they said: "I have 17 accounts with 2 of them used for sandbox creation articles. I can't just list them all here. Its awkward for some accounts knowing other people can see the history" and then listed the other three accounts listed above as ones "I can include". I then pushed a little harder for more disclosure, to which they responded: "I thought it through and I realized I actually might get banned. Because one of the accounts got banned for a week after I nominated a controversial page for deletion that had citations from blogspots etc. I was in a similar position like yesterday; just myself on one side of the debate and the comments I made caused someone to alert an adminstrator that I was here to WP:NOTHERE. Anyway I rather just wait for the the investigation to just pick me honestly and if the checkuser thinks I abused accounts so be it, just ban me."

I am requesting a CU to discover the other accounts, although some may of course be stale. Bbb23 (talk) 22:23, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that Oolaadobe is older than 7curator78. I suggest that no move of the case take place until after the CU has been completed.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:25, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
