I don't see socking here; he admits to using only one account, and he 
doesn't appear to have an account in his own name.

I do see admissions of COI, POV edits, and BLP vandalism, all of which could 
be expected from a newbie editor and have almost certainly been rectified by 
now.

He doesn't mention any sanctions for these edits, and they are so run of the 
mill that I can't even identify his username from any of the histories.

Storm in a teacup?
