 * Suggest sleeper check. This user seems pretty invested and active at talk pages as well as emotionally connected to certain articles and subjects - with them using two accounts to support positions at talk page discussions, it seems to me there could be at least one other account out there, ready to go should they be "caught" at socking or blocked.  -- ψλ  ● ✉ ✓ 13:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
