Suspected sockpuppets

AN/I determined a topic ban for Técnico, in only a few days a new user appeared with the exact same agenda, caring about nothing else. Carl Fredrik talk 14:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC) Carl Fredrik talk 14:29, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Clerk note: Since Quadrow is actually the oldest account, I moved the case. GABgab 00:06, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @CFCF: Could you please provide diffs showing that these two accounts are arguing the same point of view or making the same argument. Thanks, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 07:36, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Clerk note: I don't understand the allegation, there seems to be some misstatement of facts here. Técnico was topic-banned, but Quadrow is a much older account. Q didn't start commenting on Breitbart until T's topic ban was a foregone conclusion (it wasn't enacted until several days later), T has not edited since but Q took up the cause against the "far-right" label after having not edited at all in nearly a year. Apparently recent news that the publication was ever so slightly moderating their notably extreme views caused their traditional audience to get all up in arms, and that corresponded with an uptick in a certain class of tendentious editors appealing against the far-right label on Breitbart's talk page. I suspect that Quadrow and Técnico are distinct editors who got caught up in that, but in light of the timeline of editing and the fact that Quadrow is evading a topic ban if the two accounts are related, this request is  Clerk endorsed.
