I'm not sure what your point was? There was no doubt this is a returning user editing controversially and refusing to reveal their previous editing history. AGF only goes so far - otherwise every returning banned user can return by claiming to be a secret clean start. ] <sup>'']''</sup> 22:36, 21 February 2016 (UTC) |

:I commented on his talk page because this user mentioned me on WP:AE. We do not know if the user was actually banned, and he has right for privacy. If he were a sockpuppet account of a banned user (as confirmed by checkuser), that would be very different. Given that, I think the indefinite block was excessive. Simply giving him a warning that undisclosed secondary accounts should not participate in community discussions per WP:SOCK (this is something he apparently does not know) would be sufficient, in my opinion. You probably assume per WP:DUCK that he/she previously edited in the same (EE) subject area and returned back to create the trouble - hence the block. But I do not recognize this user and assume he/she is telling the truth that they did not edit in this subject area... They look to me as a sincere person (admitting being a secondary account on WP:AE). ] (]) 23:26, 21 February 2016 (UTC) |
