Additionally, day after I warned Naivehottie about the abuse filter, LeeWhittaker started messing with my userpage (Special:Diff/941303114). Given I'm hardly a well known editor, this implies sockpuppetry. Alex Noble   - talk  21:57, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Neither account is a sock puppet of the other as such, just one is my log in on my phone and the other on my laptop, because I forgot my password I created a new account (my phone automatically logs in). I apologise for the vandalism. Brakesfan is my friend so the edits there were meant as a joke. Vandalising Alex Noble’s Page was unnecessary though. Naivehottie (talk) 22:10, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Brakesfan is an unfortunate friend. When I get home I’ll close one of my accounts and then accept whatever ban I’m considered to deserve on the other account. Naivehottie (talk) 14:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Good grief, there's a whole shopping list of follow-up needed here:
 * , your explanation is a textbook definition of a sockpuppet.
 * Please indef Naivehottie.
 * , the behaviour is not what was expected when unblocked you last September. The misbehaviour as Naivehottie is YOUR misbehaviour. On the question of sockpuppetry I'd press the case for a 7 day block. It's beyond my remit to specify any block for your sock's misconduct running up to a level 4 warning, or your offensive description of  in an edit summary.
 * Please block LeeWhittaker as appropriate.
 * 1) The three user pages, User:LeeWhittaker, User:Naivehottie, and User:Brakesfan all contain false claims of edit counts and rights. I question whether  is an unfortunate friend of LeeWhittaker or a WP:GHBH sock.
 * Please confirm whether Brakesfan is related to either of the other accounts. -- Cabayi (talk) 14:19, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Second thoughts on Brakesfan. This admission to being a blocked user is enough. Brakesfan may, or may not, be related to LW, but is definitely someone's block-evading sock.
 * Please indef Brakesfan. Cabayi (talk) 14:30, 20 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Brakesfan is a sock of Cls14 (per self-admission and some research to cross-check) who is a sock of . All blocked, closing. qedk (t 桜 c) 20:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
