The evidence quacks like a duck. Mishela Rapo (which is also the name of the singer for Albania) added this content to the article Albania in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015. The content was removed, only for Anxhela Ismaili to then create a different account minutes late so that they could re-add the identically-worded content.

Well, they were told that their username was problematic, so maybe that's why they created a new one. (Though that doesn't justify reinstating a bad edit.) — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:05, 12 July 2015 (UTC)


 * the creation of a new account due to the other being problematic, is a valid point to be fair. But like you say, reinstating the bad edit doesn't justify.  Wes Mouse  &#124; T@lk 15:09, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm declining this because of Jeraphine Gryphon's point. Two things. The individual is not permitted to edit with both accounts, so if they start editing again with the Mishela Rapo account, this SPI should be reopened. Second, the reinstatement of the edit is not unusual and is a separate problem from socking. It's no different from an IP making an edit, having it reverted, and then creating a new account and restoring their edit. It may trigger an edit-warring problem (the IP edit should be counted), or it may be grounds for a block for disruptive editing depending on the severity of it. But it's not really a socking issue.
