 * Where is this warning? I can't find it anywhere.  Please provide a diff.  Based on what I can see here, I'm guessing somebody told them, "Your user name matches the subject of your article, that's bad", so they changed their user name.  If that's the case, they need educating about WP:COI, WP:UNP, WP:AUTO, etc, not blocking as a sock.  Do you have any specific evidence that they are intentionally using multiple accounts to mislead, deceive, vandalize or disrupt, as opposed to just not knowing understanding how things work?  -- RoySmith (talk) 01:37, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The warning is in the welcome template placed on their talk page here. --Randykitty (talk) 09:49, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Yes! For one thing, Candyy1996 was created several minutes before Sibbu Suryan on the same phone and same IP address. 12:57 Dec. 24 User account Candyy1996 was created vs. 13:08 Dec. 24 User account Sibbu Suryan was created. Second, anyone who makes another account because of what you describe lacks integrity and are trying to deceive. When would it ever be normal to create multiple accounts under this scenario? I started my check before you responded here and they are ✅ on multiple devices in a range that is rife with Bollywood socks. Both indeffed.
 * My statement in the current Arb case applies here to the hypothetical scenario that you describe above, "After being told not to create an article in their name, they created a new account with a different name to avoid scrutiny and leave the previous warnings behind for an attempt at article recreation. Creating a new account would only be justified if they forgot the password...any other reason in this case is garbage."
