 * NOTE: The user in question left a message on my talk page here. It appears that this may have been a mistake. They have confirmed that the 2nd account is indeed them but was created by mistake. I don't think a block is warranted since this appears to have been a mistake but will leave that to the admins to figure out. -- Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * as the user's explanation is reasonable. there is no way to merge accounts or to change the attribution of an edit, unfortunately. We also cannot delete accounts, but I can block whichever one you're not going to use. For security you'll need to log into and make the request from that account, preferably on this page. Other than that, I do suggest you follow Zackmann08's advice on conflict of interest, and you might like to have a look at our plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

 * Sorry,, I meant to keep this open until we hear from Marksingley. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:22, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Sir Sputnik and Ivanvector -- sorry I'm a novice with the system here. Apologies for error. Could we block markssingley-- that's the accidental one. I'm not affiliated with Inmed, but will read the protocols to make sure I"m not in violation or conflict of interest. I'll take greater care with those. Thanks both, and sorry for the confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markssingley (talk • contribs) 23:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
