QuestFour has openly admitted on his talk page that he is using an alternative account, User:DanWarpp. There does not appear to be a WP:SOCKLEGIT use for this, and both of these accounts have been flagged and warned repeatedly for various violations. SanAnMan (talk) 19:55, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

I have always had more than one account on every platform I used, I mainly edit media related stuff with this one, chiefly film, television and gaming but would also sometimes dabble into other topics. For DanWarpp, my main interests there is music. I understand that Wikipedia has strict policies against multiple accounts, therefore if admins think that my use of the accounts is invalid or unnecessary in any way, I'll edit with this account from now on.

If you don't present evidence, this report will be deleted.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:10, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Please provide diffs demonstrating a violation of WP:ILLEGIT, because I don't see any. ST47 (talk) 20:40, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I see several problems with the two accounts. Not in any particular order. First, QuestFour doesn't declare the account on their userpage. Second, they edit the same articles, regardless of whether they are being directly abusive. Third, I don't see any need to have two accounts. The general rule is only one account. There must be a legitimate need to have two. Even if it's technically not socking, absent such a need, I would block one of the two accounts. Before taking any action, though, I'd like to hear 's reasons why he created two accounts.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:45, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've blocked DanWarpp. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:36, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

These accounts are ✅ and he failed in his assurance given in the archive that he would stick to a single account, "I'll edit with this account from now on". To his credit, when the sock was blocked, he waited until one minute after it was over before he used his main account again. , you will only use the one account from now on or you will be indefinitely blocked the next time. Indeffing sock and blocking master for one month. If you edit while logged out, you will also be indeffed. . — Berean Hunter   (talk)  17:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
