Aryan790 was almost exclusively concerned with editing Kumaoni language. On 26 December they got blocked for edit-warring. Three days later Snowbell11 registers an account, makes a few edits to apparently random articles and then after a break of several days starts a steady editing spree on Kumaoni language and Kumaoni people. The two accounts compare really well across their contribs, but this pair of edits is particularly telling: ~  (Notice the style of the edit summaries, as well as the bizarre insistence on removing any mention of Garhwali). – Uanfala (talk) 02:33, 15 January 2020 (UTC) – Uanfala (talk) 02:33, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

 * - I'm going to endorse a CU check here. There are multiple instances of similar capitalization, formatting, and unique spacing in edit summary usage by both users. I also see that they're both switching back and fourth from using Visual Editor and while on a mobile device at the same time, and then not doing so on either. I have enough here to make an assertion that a CU check is within discretion, and is warranted. I don't quite have enough to block only on behavioral evidence; I'd need to dig deeper into their modification of content in the article.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
