Yesterday ModerateMike729 got blocked for some rather extreme edit warring. This morning, a new account appeared restoring this user's preferred version - it's pretty obvious the blocked editor is attempting to create a sock puppet to circumvent their ban. Also pinging as the admin who oversaw the block of the sockmaster; they may be interested in this behaviour. Simonm223 (talk) 13:15, 17 August 2018 (UTC) Simonm223 (talk) 13:15, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Update The sock is continuing to edit war and has admitted to being a sock in an edit summary. Simonm223 (talk) 13:21, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * And this one is just too funny for words. Simonm223 (talk) 13:30, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

" I did not check ModerateMike729 as there is no evidence of socking by him." <-- In those two diffs presented by Simonm223, Molarcons pretty much admits he's ModerateMike729. Can you please check it? Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:44, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Molarcons, who is the older account, is. Blocked without tags. I did not check ModerateMike729 as there is no evidence of socking by him. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The admission is often part of his MO. See my Talk page for an explanation.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I am quite willing to defer to Bbb23's expertise in this case. Simonm223 (talk) 14:52, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
