Suspected sockpuppets
On 26 April 2023, the main account was blocked from editing Rachel Dolezal. On 13 May 2023, and new account was created and made three edits to the talk page over the next week.

On 6 June 2023, there were seven edits on other five different articles, bringing the total number of edits to 10.

Two of the articles had been edited by IPs associated with the account.
 * Earned run average — PC848 IP acknowledgement of IP name change
 * Tie (draw) — PC848 IP acknowledgement of IP

Following that string of edits, the article was edited directly. The content was the same as the edit precipitating the block.

Okay, you're right, and this is not the first time this has happened to me. I have a long history of updating Wikipedia, and some of it has admittedly fallen into the category of boredom or testing. However, in the case of Rachel Dolezal, it seemed to me that the person who created the block was part of a group of politically motivated anti-transracial activists. I got the impression that they were putting their own interests ahead of what was preferred by Dolezal and her supporters and that they did not really care about what the consensus truly was. For this reason, I felt as if the initial block on that article was unwarranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KCassidy888 (talk • contribs) 16:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm really not sure how or why you've spotted this four months after PC848 last edited, but there's a few things here (which I won't specify) that convince me beyond any doubt this is the same user. I've indefinitely blocked and tagged PC848 as a suspected sock. Blocking now does not seem preventative, but any further violations will likely result in an indefinite block. Closing.
