Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Suspected abuse by 도성전 by using a possible sockpuppet. Possible the same user and they let us think there's more support for a point of view during an upload war. Some examples: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. If you're accepting more examples, please ping me.

I'm right. Foprtan is an account created as a sub-account. 도성전 (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@도성전: Where are sub-accounts without notification authorized?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 18:00, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Korean Wikipedia is allowed. As far as I know, Wikimedia and MetaWiki don't use bad things through multiple accounts or block them.

However, I learned from the Korean Wikipedia that it is not an account created for bad use and that it can be used as a sub-account created for a new start with Wikipedia. You have created a child account for the first time. Notification is in the Korean Wikipedia.

• Declined - Per above, 도성전 acknowledges Foprtan to be a sock account, thus no check is required. The Commons, like all projects, follows the Meta CheckUser policy which says "alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies." (underline added) 도성전 appears to have missed the underlined portion, as "Wikimedia and MetaWiki don't use bad things through multiple accounts or block them" is patent nonsense per the cited meta policy and indeed through local blocking policy which precludes both "edit warring" and "abusing multiple accounts." (underline added) In case the issue is unclear to 도성전, certain history on File:Flag of Elleore.svg is as follows:
  • 21:28, 29 October 2020‎ - 도성전 uploads a new version;
  • 11:36, 30 October 2020 - 도성전 is reverted;
  • 14:15, 30 October 2020 - 도성전 reverts the reversion;
  • 02:13, 31 October 2020 - 도성전 is reverted, again;
  • 12:51, 1 November 2020 - Foprtan is created;
  • 12:57, 1 November 2020 - Foprtan reverts the reversion;

This is unambiguous use of an alternate account (indeed per 도성전's acknowledgement above) to continue an edit war. This is an abusive use and is not allowed. Accordingly, I've blocked the Foprtan account. @도성전: I'm not going to block your main account at this time as the file has been protected and thus a block would be punitive rather than preventive. This is, however, a final warning; if you engage in edit warring again, or abusively use an alternative account again, your (main) account will be blocked.
