And based on this recent edit, it's clear they still are unable to understand why they've been warned so many times... and still no sign of communication whatsoever. A blocking of some kind seems to be needed at this point- and if nothing is changed from this SPI, it's likely another ANI thread will be necessary (hopefully with some responses...)

 * . Between the usernames, the shared NOPIPE issue, and the massive overlap in area of interest, there's no question. CU as unneeded. The sockpuppetry began in the immediate aftermath of a block for this sort of conduct, and thus the sockpuppet account (which is what I'm going to consider Mtaylor26, even if it's technically older) should be blocked. As to the master, it's a little complicated. I get very strong CIR vibes here, and given how blatant the sockpuppetry (especially with the usernames), it strikes me as entirely possible that the user either hasn't found their talkpage or lacks the competence to understand its contents. As such,
 * The appropriate sockpuppetry sanction for Mortaylor26 here is a 10-day block for evasion of scrutiny . That said, the reviewing admin may wish to consider whether Mortaylor's overall behavior merits further administrative action.

 * Blocked both accounts indefinitely. Mtaylor26 continued to edit frequently during this SPI and has made no effort to communicate or alter behavior. As such, NOTHERE and CIR warrant an indef for both. If Mortaylor26 requests an unblock, I would be open to going to a 10-day block instead.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
