This account has almost exactly the same name as the slightly older account, and both are resubmitting the same drafts of a page that was taken to MFD before. The drafts were blanked so that the MFD was closed as G7, but the drafts have been re-created now by socking. Same feathers. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:08, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - I mistyped the name of the primary account, and I think I have corrected it. Will a clerk please verify when the case is called?  Robert McClenon (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

 * User:QEDK - Please indef the sock account, and please make a decision whether to block the master or to warn the master, and my request is that the master also be blocked, at least for a period. The human is either trying to game the system to get a draft through Articles for creation by confusing the reviewers with multiple copies of the same draft, or is just playing some silly game.  In any case, the whole point is some sort of disruption.  It's not a good-faith mistake.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:45, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Should I go to WP:ANI where there is a lot of noise and heat, or to WP:AIV, or can this be done here? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:46, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - User:Ivanvector - I will leave alone unless they cause more trouble. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:44, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

 * What action are you expecting out of this ? The master isn't blocked or restricted and the accounts are mostly resurrecting drafts. Maybe you should approach an admin to decide what to do about them, because . qedk (t 桜 c) 17:40, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * - At the very least, there is enough reason to block the sock, rest is administrator discretion. qedk (t 桜 c) 19:28, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * this looks to me like a newbie mistake: intentionally socking to avoid scrutiny with an account that is one character off from your main account is too silly for me to believe that's what's happening here. I've blocked the sock without tags, but I'm leaving the master unblocked. if you disagree and want to pursue further, then yes, ANI. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
