As Rinty43, repeatedly inserts spam links to self-published book. Warned for WP:PROMOTION on that account, he switches to Frankbarr and edits disruptively, removing text because his references were removed. Warned about WP:COI, Frankbarr denies this is the case.

 * Rinty43 and Frankbarr are, bordering on ✅. That said, I think we can salvage a user here if we're pleasant about this. Perhaps if we block the sock account indef, then offer to turn over a new leaf with regards the rest of the problems, assuming that he stops promoting? Thoughts?

 * Yeah, I'm with you. I've blocked and tagged the sock, but left the master alone. And I've left notes on both accounts' talk pages about this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 17:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
