Evidence submitted by GeorgeLouis
Both users create and edit articles dealing with planned communities, usually in the Western U.S. The style of writing is exactly the same. Normally the user does not list his or her sources. Both users make many small changes, one after the other, instead of using a Sandbox. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buckeye%2C_Arizona&action=historysubmit&diff=318275151&oldid=318273839 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buckeye%2C_Arizona&action=historysubmit&diff=317209555&oldid=317207677 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Centennial%2C_California&action=historysubmit&diff=319044878&oldid=318071093 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Centennial%2C_California&action=historysubmit&diff=319044878&oldid=313919462 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Centennial%2C_California&action=historysubmit&diff=306300731&oldid=306044559 GeorgeLouis (talk) 07:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Upon my corresponding with user Kendwallace, he states that he is 17 years old, that Quentin is his uncle and that both are learning disabled. I am continuing to work with Kenny, as he calls himself, in hope of a satisfactory resolution, but I am not sure what will happen.

User edits and articles are basically illiterate. He or she also deletes warning tags. I feel sorry for this guy or girl, but his or her edits are very disruptive and time-consuming to correct.

The Quentinwllcs1 account doesn't exist. Did you make a mistake somewhere in spelling the username? MuZemike 22:27, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * : Seems pretty clear that Kendwallace and Quentinwllcs are related, CU endorsed to confirm and see if there are any others. Not clear on whether the two accounts have been use disruptively in edit-warring, etc, but they have definitely been actively editing the same small group of articles. A confirmed connection between the K and Q accounts here won't necessarily lead directly to a block for both, more likely for one and a warning for the other. Nathan  T 19:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

✅ =

The IP is probably him, but the range is very, very dynamic, and large. J.delanoy gabs adds 22:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Kendwallace indefinitely blocked and tagged. Quentinwllcs blocked 1 week for sock puppetry. IP left alone as the autoblock should take care of that. MuZemike 00:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Same style of writing; same interest in the same planned communities as previously. Same multiple use of articles pages for editing instead of a sandbox. Very sad but true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nazraniz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Quentinwllcs

Seems about right, however what abuse of Wikipedia policy are you concerned about? Nja 247 09:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Same language difficulties, as evidenced on the original userpage for this new sock. Same edits. Quite blatant; blocked both indef. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 12:42, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
