So, HomegrownRx editted the AFC submission for Autoflowering Cannabis, which I declined a few times. They also seem to be promoting a company which sells the same product. Anyways, they have a cannabis obsession, which is nothing new. They then created the Autoflowering Cannabis page with a summary seeming to indicate that they were the same user, and then the IP made another two edits to cannabis-related things, an IP which also locates to California, around the bay area. I couldn't located Homegrown's location on their website, but I think they are located from the same area. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't see how multiple accounts are being used abusively. It is self-evident that they are connected. HomegrownRx was created first and is a definite username violation; it is reasonable for Chrisgedwards to create a new account, and his edit summary does not hide that. Not much to do here I'd say.

 * But HomegrownRx wasn't blocked for the name violation, and no one has informed them that it's a violation. There's no overlap in the accounts' edits, but they are pretty close together. For now I would say monitor this, and if HomeGrown starts editing again, we can deal with it. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
