DUCK. very similar user name, two recently created accounts. 2/3 overlap in edited articles. One account giving barnstars to the other. Both brand new accounts making extensive use of sandbox to build articles up from scratch.SPIdey sense tells me they could be both socks of some other master, but no evidence for that offhand. May be worth a check for sleepers/unknown master. Gaijin42 (talk) 03:53, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't see a prima facie case for abuse of multiple accounts here. None of these accounts are blocked or banned, so the mere use of an alternate account is not a violation of policy per se.  This could also be a class project of some kind. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 11:03, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Since there has been no objection in 2 days, closing case without action. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 12:56, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
