Temwikier recreated article previously created by Pfrd using the same style of edit summary. Both have edits about the same type of articles and in fact Temwikier has only made edits to one page in article space (which was deleted by AfD last week). WP:DUCK. Cloudz 679 04:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The edit summaries you linked to were the automatically created edit summaries when you edit a section. The article contents were almost exactly the same, but also match the article structure of many other existing articles (like Keumseong Textile Company FC) so Temwikier could have just copied the style. But yeah, recreating the article combined with very similar user talk page edits speaks volumes. Not the worst kind of multiple account abuse, but combined with the escalating personal attacks I've blocked Temwikier, and will leave an explanation/warning. Amalthea  11:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

I recently nominated several articles created by Footwiks for speedy deletion. All of which were subsequently contested by Pfrd with the same explanation on each of the articles' talk pages. Footwiks then posted almost the same text to my talk page. I then responded on Footwiks' talk page. Just minutes after this, Pfrd replied to my talk talk page, then removed his/her comment again. The same comment was then added back by Footwicks. For more detail see the edits by both users found here. Sir Sputnik (talk) 10:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

This person has admitted both are his/her accounts. See: 1. Sir Sputnik (talk) 12:43, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

The edit you referenced to indicates that he forgot his password. I'm inclined to AGF on the socking issue if that is the case. --MuZemike 00:07, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * User Prfd was created after User footwiks. They are both continuing to edit. So, how does one forget a password when they have been editing all along as footwiks, create a new account and edit as both?. User has stated they will keep creating new accounts and never stop.

 * Checked per the open intent to sock. Footwiks is a ✅ sock of Pfrd. Also found . WilliamH (talk) 21:37, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Knowing that it may be possible that this person is unaware about our sockpuppetry policy, I have blocked Pfrd and Wikiholicman and issued a warning to the current account, Footwiks. --MuZemike 23:33, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
