Similar user pages and similar editing of list articles. Ajax Coleman is the older of the two accounts so I'm listing that as the master, but there might be other accounts as well. Came across this after seeing this user warning Ajax Coleman added to 's user talk, and then saw the practically identical edits made here and here by both Ajax Coleman and Fitzgerald Benjaminson at List of most-viewed YouTube videos. The second edit came after Ajax Coleman had been warned about edit warring and consensus here by Masem.If this is not the same person, then it seems to be WP:MEAT since there's also quite a bit of overlapping editing by both accounts at List of Walt Disney Studios films as well, including some edits made within a few minutes of each other.

Began editing the day after the master was blocked. Immediately overlapped at such disparate places as List of 1982 box office number-one films in the United States (four days apart), List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of 1961 (next edit), List of Billboard number-one singles of the 1940s (next edit), and Ethnic groups in the Philippines (previous socks involved tag-teaming on the Tagalog Wikipedia). Edit summary idiosyncrasies match (full sentences, gerunds, etc.). Dekimasu よ! 06:44, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

 * The timeline between the blocking of the master and the creation of the sock account, as well as the edits to the same articles and the same exact content immediately after the edits by the master - fit almost perfectly. The probability of someone coincidentally creating an account and editing the same articles and same exact content as the blocked account is nearly zero. Hence, there's enough evidence to assert this as a sock account. Indef'd, tagged, closing SPI report...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:54, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
