Recreation of previous report in which I gave incorrect username RBernstein (note capitalization difference). (Also, wasn't sure if here, vs Usernames noticeboard, was the appropriate forum; posting here because WP:ROLE is part of WP:SOCK.) Appears to violate WP:ROLE in declaring. "This is the user page for user Rbernstein. This account is managed by the webmaster of Dr. Robert M. Bernstein. Dr. Bernstein is a hair transplantation pioneer" etc. After I pointed out  that role accounts are a no-no, the phrase "This account is managed by the webmaster of Dr. Robert M. Bernstein" was immediately deleted. Distressing COI, disruptiveness and civility problems. User self-admittedly is not the person R. Bernstein so the username itself is misleading as well.

 * I'm sorry, I have no idea what's going on in this case. Both the sockmaster and sockpuppet you've listed are one and the same. If you're trying to report this as a conflict of interest, you're looking for WP:COIN. This page is for multiple accounts that edit together. Or are you saying that this account is being used by multiple people? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, the issue is a violation of WP:ROLE, and since that's a part of WP:SOCK, I posted here. If this isn't the right place, where is?  EEng (talk) 02:17, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ohh, okay, I see. I've listed your concern at Usernames for administrator attention. This issue is sort of a UAA issue, but if they decline it then we can deal with it here. ANI would be another place as well. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:24, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Account was blocked. We're done here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
