Mr. Vinyl Raccon caught my attention when they posted a {{whale}} at Blaze Wolf's talk page. Checking their contributions, they appear to focus on creating "humorous" essays and templates, such as Wikipedia:There is such a thing as banana ketchup, {{Banana ketchup}} and User:Mr. Vinyl Raccon/DWK Zoo Wee Mama (see Copperwidth's {{Explosive Dog}}). Most obvious is this template, which is almost identical to User:Copperwidth/NoUserbox. Raccon's account was created five days after Copperwidth was banned. Isabelle 🔔 01:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

- I know this case is closed but I would've preferred a ping since they whaled me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 03:56, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
[edit]- Moved case to correct master. CheckUser requested and endorsed by clerk - the behavioural evidence is pretty convincing, but since they were running 3 accounts at once the last time around [1], I think it's worth a check for others. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 01:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

- Vinyl is Confirmed. No sleepers immediately visible but it's not a good environment for sleeper hunting, so that doesn't mean much. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
