Account AppleJuicefromConcentrate was created on 25th May; he created implausible/hoax articles on a shop named "Claught of a bird". Four hours later, after the article was speedily deleted several times, a new account was created (Motorox) doing the same. For persistent re-creation of the article and incivility, AppleJuicefromConcentrate received several short-time blocks; Motorox was blocked indefinitely. I unblocked AppleJuicefromConcentrate on 27th May after he promised not to engage in disruptive behavior. (The time in his block log is about two hours off because I initially forgot to remove the automatic blocks.) After being unblocked, AppleJuicefromConcentrate created his user page; then the three other accounts were created within minutes from each other and with an identical user page (two of them also with a very similar name; the third one with the name of the article he created). AppleJuicefromConcentrate maintains that these accounts are not his sockpuppets, so I would like you to confirm or disprove it. Thank you. - Mike Rosoft 16:02, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Unless they're used to evade a block or to create false consensus on polls/discussions like AfD or RfA, they're Alternate Accounts and allowed... See if he's using these to do any of the Prohibited Use items on WP:SOCK, but a Checkuser seems fairly superfluous as these appear to be pretty obviously the same person. -M^ask 21:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Declined See the header: Checkuser is for cases where there are policy violations. I see none here. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 00:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
