Seems to be a clear case of WP:DUCK. Amidst all of the edit warring on the Chelsea Manning article, they both posted identical comments on the talk page. The comments were disruptive, uncivil, and contained personal attacks, which the sock has since been blocked indefinitely for, but no action has yet been taken against XMattingly. I assume that, after his sock was banned, he jumped back to his original account in order to continue reposting the same trollish comments. —  Richard  BB  08:35, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

 * This is not a case of clear Duck. If you bothered to look at the talk page history, you would see that XMattingly was reverting an edit by Richard BB.--Toddy1 (talk) 19:00, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I agree that Numazls is a throwaway sock of XMattingly. Of particular concern is the apparent breaking of autoconfirm by the operator. I have indeffed the sock. With the possibility of an upcoming Arb case in mind, I'm blocking the master for a month. Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 15:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
