Per comments on masters talk posted by the alleged sock they own both accounts. User claims it was a mistake but continues to use the sock account despite cloaking they don't know how to access it. - You posted a message on their talk at same time as me.

 * I was mentioned in a post above this SPI template on the user's talk page in which he specifically asked for help in closing one of the accounts. It's obvious this is someone new to Wikipedia who has probably created and logged into two accounts, he says one is on his laptop or something and pretty much as soon as he realised it isn't allowed has sought help to address it. To bring this to SPI instead of answering the editor's request is frankly astonishing and I wonder what happened to WP:AGF. So can someone who is an admin or knows how to do it please answer this guy's request before he is completely put off editing here. Every one of us has been a rookie editor and every one of us has made mistakes when we didn't know the rules. This guy has asked for our help. Mramoeba (talk) 22:14, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've got to agree with Mramoeba here, this does seem a little BITE-y let alone AGF issues, although I agree with Bbb23's decision. Kb03 (talk) 01:13, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Much of what the user says makes little sense, but from a socking perspective (there are other reasons I'm unsure that the person is an asset to the project), I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've therefore blocked Ste richardsson without tags. There's no reason for him to have two accounts, but tagging would imply abuse. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
