Accotink2 began editing a few days after Pohick2 was indef-blocked; an affinity for the "playing Wikipedia" essay ( and User:Accotink2/Playing Wikipedia), they show an overlap in editing biographies and translating articles from other languages (e.g. Luigi Moretti and Rodolphe Wytsman); both listed at GLAM/SI/Members.

I suppose since Pohick2 is listed as a suspected sock of TRATTOOO that's something else which may be worth looking into, but I haven't at all. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

 * - Accotink2 was created a few days after Pohick2 was blocked, and the behavioral evidence does seem to line up. Still, a CU would clarify this. And TRATTOOO was a rather large sockfarm, but all of the CU data on it will be stale, so we can't do much there. If Pohick2 == TRATTOOO, though, there's a chance that there are sleepers here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 18:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Account created Dec 13, ~12 days prior to the block of Pohick's last sock. Looks like they are editing biographical articles, and Pohick usually uses names of bodies of water from Virginia / Maryland using Native American names. I haven't dug into their contributions yet, but can if it isn't immediately apparent to the Checkuser that it is the same person. Just trying to head off any further CCI issues if this is another sock. Syrthiss (talk) 14:14, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
