  • Supporting evidence: Admin User:Gwen Gale indef blocked Fclass for various abuse about 3 weeks ago (July 23rd). Apparently innocuous account Auto Racing Fan popped up a few days ago, with similar editing interests but not having begun abusive behavior per se, as far as I can tell. Gwen concluded from the overlap in interests that Auto Racing Fan is a sock of Fclass, and indef'ed Auto Racing Fan.

Gwen is more familiar with the edit pattern than anyone, but I am concerned that this may be a misidentification due to coincidence. A CU on the two accounts can hopefully disambiguate whether they're connected, and if easily verifyably unconnected allow an unblock. Thanks.
