I refer you to the following link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username. On this page it clearly states that "Users who have made very few edits are encouraged to register a new account and discard the old one". I started my first article and then switched over to a new account because I used my real name with the old account and Wikipedia advises to not use your real name.

 * So you added the retired template to and then made this edit with the "retired" account. JMHamo (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I would like to see an admin block so that we can be sure he's retired.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You are not telling the truth. You registered new account (Blueblood53) at 17:20, 18 March 2015 and made first edit at 17:24, but than you made three more edits using your old account (LloydOlivier) after that . You know, when you discard the account, you should not use it any more, that is what "discard" means. Anyway, if you do not intend to use tho old account any more, I strongly advice you to put retired on the user page, and not to use it any more. Thanks.

 * This looks to me more like a case of an inexperienced user getting confused than sockpuppetry. However, to avoid any doubt I have blocked the account LloydOlivier. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:44, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
