Suspected sockpuppets

This is a really odd one but too coincidental not to be linked. There are some edits by Morgan to London transport in 2015, but this year the editor switched to editing EDM articles. The Fox sock has been doing this consistently. I did not put them together until today after I checked the history of Protocol Recordings where Morgan edited here followed by Fox straight after it (diff).

Hi. That was my original account but that was subsequently passed over to a friend who wanted to edit things on Wikipedia and as I wasn't using the account, they used it for a while. I then created a new account that is used by me and only me. Unfortunately the first account's username cannot be changed, I think, so that's why my name is still linked to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fox Tanawa-Bamba (talk • contribs) 22:55, 31 October 2016 (UTC) ‎ Hi Ivanvector That sounds great! I don't know if they've used it or not and the reason why my name is different for my current account is due to it being a nickname. Would it not be possible for the account to be deleted?

 * - the user's explanation is plausible, but we will need to deal with this shared account situation. it is not allowed to share your account or "give it" to another person. I recommend that you mark your old account retired and do not log into it again, and if you like you may ask for it to be blocked so that you cannot use it. Otherwise, if you (or anyone) use it to edit again then all of your accounts may be blocked. If your friend wishes to return to editing they will need to create their own account. Does that sound ok to you? Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:25, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
