The evidence is that these two accounts have submitted the same article, with much of the same text, on a band. The band may or may not be notable, but these two ducks have the same feathers.

 * They (I) am the same person. (Same feathers) I tried to create an article and a person reviewed it saying all of the citations were "announcements". This is my first time creating something, but I know about citations. The reviewer must not have read the citations. I then created a new account to post it. Evidently it was the wrong thing to do? "TwistedSister" was the user. Maybe he was correct but I don't feel that he read it, but maybe there is a Wikipedia citation "rule" I missed? I wanted to try doing this, I thought it would be fun! Unfortunately, it's been depressing. Please help! Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertmelvin (talk • contribs) 13:59 March 31 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I will let the administrators decide, but the policy on multiple accounts at sockpuppetry is clear, and creating a new account in order to push for creation of an article is just not permitted. If you didn't think that the reviewer had read the citations (and it is the job of the submitter to be sure that the text of the article provides enough information), then you should have asked the reviewer on their talk page to check the citations.  Instead you created a new version of the article and resubmitted it.  To the reviewers in general, this looks very much like an effort to confuse the reviewers.
