Account created in December 2020, made one edit and went dormant. First substantive edit just made on this AfD [1] making the same (refuted) argument as Mr Vili who has just been indeffed for various reasons, and with questions about COI. The account edited their own user pages but otherwise went quiet. This looks like pretty obvious vote stacking at AfD by someone known to have used sockpuppets before. No one legitimately finds their way to an obscure AfD with no editing experience whatsoever just to support an indeffed editor. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bbb23 - not wanting to jump the line as I know SPI is backlogged, but the AfD this user voted on closes tomorrow. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk assistance requested: - Please move to Mr vili. Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Spicy (talk) 22:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The evidence seemed a bit light, but I ran a check anyway based on the prior history of socking. I didn't want the account getting blocked if it turned out to be unrelated. And this one did come back Unrelated. However, Tiffedwards is indistinguishable from Mr vili and is on the same IP address. Tiffedwards created Draft:Teamgo Visitor Management Software, which has been deleted as spam. Is this a continuing problem with Mr vili? I guess this could be a shared IP.
