Although it is fine to abandon an old account in hopes of making a fresh start, it seems rather clear that the old account has now been used to evade a block. Karaku has been blocked for edit warring on two articles, Garage Kids, and Code Lyoko. After Karaku's most recent block, Rikara suddenly shows up and joins in the edit wars on both articles despite not making any edits since 26th January. Karaku's account started making edits on the 27th January.
 * Evidence

Edits made by Rikara: Code Lyoko Garage Kids

Edits made by Karaku can be found in the article history of both articles; the behaviour is quite clear.

Though this seems to be a pretty obvious WP:DUCK, I'll tack on a few more comparisons. Note that the diffs are more or less random. Read the two talk pages for an obvious comparison.
 * Comments

Incessant yelling at those who disagree: Karaku, Rikara

Excessively hostile attitude: Karaku, Rikara

Contempt of 3RR: Karaku, Rikara

Those are the main points. This is a duck who just hasn't taken the hint about why they're being blocked. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 15:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Karaku is a sockpuppet account of Rikara - Rikara was blocked in January for gross and repeated incivility, personal attacks end edit warring. Shortly thereafter the Karaku account is created, starts editing in the same set of articles and is eventually blocked, again for repeated incivility, personal attacks and edit warring. Two days later, Rikara edits for the first time since Karaku was created and immediately reverts Code Lyoko to Karaku's last edit and leaves a personal attack against the other user on the Garage Kids talk page. I left Rikara a message asking for an explanation, but for me the evidence is strong enough to take action. I will block Karaku indefinitely as a sockpuppet account and block Rikara for the duration of Karaku's 1 month block. Gwernol 16:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
