Possible block evasion. MaloneyW.F.C was blocked indefinitely for disruptive editing. He made several unblock requests but failed to address the reasons for the block. MaloneyW.F.C primarily edited the article Weymouth F.C. (history). The NewInnBee account was created two months after MaloneyW.F.C's last edit and also mostly edits Weymouth FC. Both accounts make large amounts of small edits in quick succession without edit summaries, and despite warnings both have repeatedly removed maintenance tags without attempting to fix the problem they address ([1][2], [3][4]) and repeatedly remove content without explanation ([5], [6]) ([7], [8]).

Aggressive editor showing tendencies of OWNership, edits exclusively the Weymouth F.C. article - looks to be a clear case of DUCK to me but we should AGF and double-check. GiantSnowman 09:28, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Clear case of WP:DUCK" and having enough doubt to request a check are mutually exclusive situations. Pick one, please. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:38, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Check declined by a checkuser - It's a moot point, anyway, as the previous accounts are very  Stale. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:41, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I pick DUCK, based behavior which is both consistent and evolving. Indef blocked, tagged, templated, closing. Dennis Brown - © Join WER 03:11, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Similar edit pattern, primarily WP:OWN tendencies at Weymouth F.C. Has removed maintenance templates, removed references and inserted incorrect flags [9], in similar fashion to previous sock Tribe 2 (talk · contribs) [10] [11]. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:02, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
