Leelostboy is a single-purpose account heavily promoting (self-promoting?) Ethan Gilsdorf ‎across several articles. When asked/warned about potential COI, the editor apparently just switched to the new Oakridge 9 account, which is doing exactly the same thing as Leelostboy. It is a clear WP:DUCK case to me, but checkuser would confirm. For what it's worth, both of these accounts are likely to be the same individual as the too-old-to-checkuser account who created the article Ethan Gilsdorf and self-identifies as Ethan Gilsdorf.Deli nk (talk) 18:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Since I filed this report, another new single-purpose account, Monkey 1937, has shown up to make the same kind of edits promoting Ethan Gilsdorf. Deli nk (talk) 13:56, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

 * - I've added Critter84, which like FrannieSaint, has made only one edit (11 minutes earlier), and requested CU. The master and previously blocked socks are stale, but the two new accounts may be compared to each other, and the CU log may be helpful. Bbb23 (talk) 15:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * These and Lantern401 are confirmed to each other. They're in the same place as the master based on logs. Blocked, tagged, closing. Spicy (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
