Suspected sockpuppets

Ugly ducklings.

Reintroducing the same Medizs spam links to articles (Autorefractor) that Medizs was. The edit summary by Medizs on the autorefractor page even includes "smart-rk-11" which is the name of a product or something. Asking for CheckUser to see if same IP is being used and to place an account creation block on that IP to potentially mitigate the vandalism going forward. -- dsprc [talk] 00:07, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Check declined by a checkuser - This is not by definition sockpuppetry per the block on the original account. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 00:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: This is a clumsy attempt to set up a second account in order to continue the same sort of promotional material that got the first account blocked. The second account has been final-warned to discontinue this misbehaviour, and IMO the situation can and should be handled adequately via WP:SPAM instead of as an SPI. Closing. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 02:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
