blocked 6 months for BLP violations. This account is simple block evasion. Evidence per WP:QUACK, repeating exactly the same edits on exactly the same articles. Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:17, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Same obsessions, adding same kind of content to same articles. Primary changing African American to some other ethnicity without citations, consensus, or explanation. Also overlinking. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:21, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Obviously same user as given repeat of same edits on List of African-American United States Cabinet Secretaries. Pattern also matches Philly2166 because of same changes in ethnicity, over linking on same types of articles. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:24, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Editing obsessions are the same. Changing racial categories against consensus. Mainly concerned with changing ‘black’ or ‘African American’ to more narrow ethnicity, such as Nigerian American. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Oops. I was going to provide a bunch of diffs but I guess that's not really necessary, other than to establish the connection to Philly2166. I'll add those shortly. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:13, 1 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Today is Thursday; I should have time on Saturday or Sunday to sort through the histories to collect the diffs. If I can't finish it by then I probably won't for a few weeks. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Blocked the two reported accounts as socks., it'd be nice if you could provide diffs linking them to Philly2166 so we can wrap this up. --Neil N  talk to me 00:49, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I've reduced the block length of to one week pending your evidence. --Neil N  talk to me 14:18, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * If you wish, you can unblock Wayn12 pending evidence, but blocking the user as a sock must be indefinite.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:20, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi . I've blocked Wayn12 for socking using Svengalista right now. If the evidence tying them to Philly2166 is not convincing, I will ask a clerk to move this page so that Wayn12 is the master. Is this the proper way to go? --Neil N  talk to me 15:29, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * That makes sense; thanks for the explanation.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
