Both tried to create "Draft:Tamil TechGuruji". First, User:Tamiltechguruji tried to create it, but when he/she failed to because Filter 148 did not allow him/her to do so, another account, User:Sheeba2040, popped up just 4 minutes later and created the draft. --Stay safe, ◊ PRAHLAD balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 13:21, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

 * . The two accounts are clearly being operated by the same user (compare ), but personally I don't think there is a violation of the sock puppetry policy at this time. Technically, their first username (Tamiltechguruji) was a violation of the username policy per WP:PROMONAME, so creating a new username to edit was not necessarily improper, though I understand how it could be interpreted as an attempt to evade scrutiny. For now, I have soft-blocked the Tamiltechguruji username and left a COI warning for Sheeba2040. If the user continues to edit with multiple accounts, please feel free to re-report here. Closing without further action. Mz7 (talk) 16:38, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
