4thfile4thrank the point here isn't whether this is the same person, but whether this is actual socking. If one account was abandoned and another one created, that's completely legitimate. Given the usernames, I also don't think anyone is trying to hide anything here. Blablubbs|talk 21:23, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Blablubbs: Possibly, but see the article and the ANI thread liked. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 21:25, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- 4thfile4thrank, my apologies – looking at the metadata for the deleted revisions of that page, it seems like the accounts do have some temporal overlap. Though I'm not sure the socking is the most relevant part here, given that it seems they aren't trying to hide it – and I doubt that they're part of a sockfarm.

I did some digging around and I've seen some users having the same interest:

Also, I've noticed that the original Edwinacuna account's CA page displays that the loginwiki account was attached at Dec 1, 2020.
Not sure if it's right to append a comment to a closed case, and most of the newly suspected users are mostly likely are more stale than a bag of chips left opened on the counter during the hottest day of the summer. --CrystallineLeMonde (talk) 21:54, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

[edit]- @4thfile4thrank: how is this socking? Neither account overlap in terms of time. Praxidicae (talk) 21:19, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Praxidicae: They both have similar usernames {with the suspect number "69"), and they both created a deleted article (Draft:Brent International School Manila) by copy pasting. See the ANI thread for more info 4thfile4thrank (talk) 21:20, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- This seems particularly innocent given the lack of time overlap/potential forgotten password. It's obvious enough they are the same, I doubt they were trying to decieve. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 21:43, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
