 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Both of these accounts are overly dedicated to the promotion of Alexander Tuschinski as detailed in Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. In addition to that shared obsession there are other thing that suggest they are the one person, or at the very least colluding meat.

Creating the same style of article complete with cherrypicked quotes in "reception".
 * ATuschinski


 * Mike300578

So many examples of the same sort of cherrypicking of quotes.

Similarity in edit comments, some quite epic
 * ATuschinski
 * Created page. Will expand page in the next days. The sources should prove the noteability of the event. Tried to use as many sources that are independent to the festival as possible.
 * Added a few shorts directed by Louis C.K. to the filmography, along with sources.
 * Added more facts and secondary sources to make the article more complete, and to better meet the notability requirements. Re-Ordered some items to make them conform more to the wikipedia-standard for biographies. Added two sections: "Life" and "Reception"
 * Added awards to infobox, formatted them, so layout looks good. (Shortened Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival to "HRIFF", as it's commonly done and looks better in infobox. See the festival's wikipedia-page. Made awards link to the festival-sites.
 * small stylistic improvements.

- two accounts with 450 edits between them intersecting on 10 pretty obscure articles along with their similar userpages and fairly unique edit summary style are good evidence of connection, but technical data would be helpful to make a call here. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 13:49, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

 * My mistake, I thought I saw a more recent edit in one of the article histories. while I think there's evidence of sockpuppetry here, I'm disinclined to suggest action based on an account that hasn't edited in four months. Closing, but if it becomes apparent that the user is abusing multiple accounts again, please file a new report. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:25, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
