Users are always trying to promote the patent US 5724520, and Joel R. Goheen as the inventor on the electronic ticket page. CU was requested at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. Diffs:    -- intgr [talk] 15:37, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, Securxx was already blocked in the past for promotion, so this is a likely block evasion. -- intgr [talk] 15:43, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I have put Electronic ticket on my watchlist, and will be watching for suspected socking that promotes Joel R. Goheen or US patent 5724520. I suggest that we decline CU for now and I will open a new SPI with Securxx as the sockmaster if there are any fresh problems. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I've been watching the article myself for a while now, it should be under control, but an extra pair of eyes can't hurt. :) -- intgr [talk] 18:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Nyccontrib is still trying to promote Joel R. Goheen without a reliable source. In my opinion, there is enough here to pass the WP:DUCK test. Might a very short semi-protection also be in order? --Guy Macon (talk) 22:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
The master and Joel284 are. I haven't declined the CU request in case a clerk wants to endorse a comparison of Securxx1, who is already blocked, with Nyccontrib. My belief is such a check would be of limited value, and I would have to be convinced that behavior cannot dispose of this case.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * - I think Securxx1 should be compared to Nyccontrib (see: ). I think behavior alone is not enough to block.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)  Vanjagenije   (talk)  09:47, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The two accounts are ✅. I blocked Nyccontrib and reblocked Securxx1. I'll leave tagging up to the clerk.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:26, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
