Your reason here was blocked in March for not being here to contribute to the encyclopedia. Just after registering today, I noticed these three accounts in the newusers log. It's pretty obvious just by their usernames that they are socks, no CheckUser needed. All four usernames are "placeholders" used in the Wikipedia unblock process that shouldn't exist here.

I believe I created this account as an alternative account for editing in public spaces. A CU should show consistent with this statement. OtherUser (talk) 23:58, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Transparency post: the above username is tied to my email address. I guess I made that account ages ago and never used it. I also operate this account (Duncan), own User:Espublic013, and my global Wikimedia username is Esanchez013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duncan (talk • contribs)
 * Aaaaand... I wasn't logged in. Great. — Duncan What I Do / What I Say 00:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Just a sec... I'm looking at the account making the SPI report and it looks to be brand-new. — Duncan What I Do / What I Say 00:18, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Removed own account "OtherUser" and adding the nominator. They may be coming clean here. — Duncan What I Do / What I Say 00:29, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅ to each other:
 * The oldest account is Unblock reviewed. Blocked without tags.
 * I didn't check Your reason here, and Your proposed new username is and has made no edits anyway.  Please move the case and tag.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:55, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Closing. Not enough behavioral connection between the master to determine the above sock ring is tied to the master, but it doesn't matter anyway, because the master isn't about to be unblocked anytime soon. ~ Rob 13 Talk 07:04, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
