 * ✅. Blocking sock indef. Leaving master's block length to any other admin/CU/clerk to decide what is appropriate. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 21:29, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hard to make a fully informed determination without access to the deleted files on commons, but here are some thoughts: I don't see any reason for this user to sock disruptivly, the original account was not banned or warned and could have been continued to be used. This and the similar usernames give me a feeling this may be a good faith forgotten password situation. Without the pictures it's difficult to make the determination of the intent of their edits but I'm inclined to agf and not block but leave with a talk page message about socks (including changing which account is blocked if it's a forgotten password) and a final warning about adding unsourced potential hoaxes. --Trialpears (talk) 03:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Dreamy Jazz I think is onto something.  There's no temporal overlap between the accounts.  And given the obvious similarity in usernames, it's hard to argue that this is an attempt at evasion.  My recommendation would be to unblock. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:20, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @RoySmith I blocked as I felt that this was not a case that AGF could be applied as this seemed to be deliberate hoaxing, including based on modifying metadata in the files (such as creation date) that would have needed more than just a simple paint tool. Although certainly this could be a new user, my feeling was that this isn't their first time hoaxing on Wikipedia. The explanation about forgetting passwords is plausible from the CU evidence. However, given your recommendation for an unblock I will go ahead and unblock. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 00:28, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Hey, I meant to file this under Sockpuppet investigations/Khalsamanwa but did an oopsie. Can a clerk help me out here? casualdejekyll  12:48, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Closed because there is really no point to this. IP is single-edit and doesn't look to be coming back. casualdejekyll 23:59, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
