Both created the article Hiretual and the user wanted to change their username with one containing "wq" for some reason, and this other user has a name contaning "wq" as well  — twotwofourtysix (My talk page and contributions) 13:07, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi there. The another account is my friend. We were doing research about Hiretual together previously and we found that this is not on wiki. We spend some time to gather info from different website so we wanted to create this for people who might need this in the future (so they won't spend much time like we did and they can just check the info in one place). The account (wqhiretual) blocked as we are first time creating content in wiki and not really sure how it works. So now I create that instead. WQ is our team name btw. I hope this explain why we are creating the same page and why we contain same term in our username. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicewq (talk • contribs) 14:42, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

You can't do what you're doing, which is to promote Hiretual. That is not what Wikipedia is about. This "team" you and your friend are part of; are you employed by Hiretual? Someone else? Team implies that you belong to some company.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:56, 15 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Alicewq's answer is hardly satisfactory. It would appear that not only is there meat puppetry going on, but that Wqhiretual may still be editing with Alicewq, which is also a violation of policy per WP:ROLE, as well as block evasion by proxy. I have therefore indefinitely blocked Alicewq. No tags for anyone. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
