This user is a new-ish user who has been getting into administrative areas they clearly don't understand; they requested page reviewer but were asked to stop, later that day they sought adminship but that was quickly shut down. See their talk page for a recent list of non-templated warnings from various users asking (and then telling) them to please stop.

This user first came to my attention for filing an SPI with several procedural errors. A few days ago they used Twinkle to roll back an experienced user which resulted in restoring vandalism and then templated the experienced user. It was discovered then that they had filed another SPI requesting an investigation on accounts that haven't edited in a decade, and they were told very directly by to stay out of sockpuppet investigations, and were further warned by  that they would receive no more warnings. Today I noticed them adding a checkuser block tag to a previously blocked account, and was going to block them for WP:CIR and ignoring a final warning, when I observed that the account they tagged,, is CU-confirmed to this case.

The username similarity was a clue, however the behaviour is also an exact match. Some other confusing maintenance activities these accounts have engaged in: - Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:39, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * wants to be an admin, requested rollback by adding a request to their talk page , moved their talk page to the help talk space , nominated an article for speedy deletion by adding the talk page notification template to the article itself
 * first ten edits were obviously seeking autoconfirmation, gave themselves the admin topicon on their user page, opened this SPI
 * created user page with only "I am cool!", used undo to revert a correct edit, tagged Antarctica and the Cuban Missile Crisis as hoaxes
 * only edit was creating themselves a user page containing "HI" before being blocked
 * first edit was adding an empty Phabricator bug tracking tag to the top of an article, followed by creating their user page containing only "Hi Im cool" , plus the recent nonsense noted above
