Bominchina started editing the List of best-selling music artists on June 21. Initially, he/she completely deleted The Doors from the list without explanation, see 1, 2. Then the user began making incorrect changes to the available certified sales of The Doors, see some of those edits 1, 2. After a couple of warnings I issued him/her on the user's talk page, now he/she is back making similar edits with another account Harout72 (talk) 15:07, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

This is an odd case. Nanettum admitted that both accounts are the same person on his talk page. Usually, I would just block the account for which the password is lost and leave the other account alone. However, I've indeffed both because (1) they edited together before the password was supposedly lost (the last time Bominchina edited was 6/27, so password would have been lost between 6/27 and 6/30 when the admission is dated); (2) their edits were disruptive; and (3) they had identical user pages, both of which said that their interest here was in NFL articles, particlarly the New England Patriots. Yet, that was apparently a silly lie as they never touched any NFL articles. They edited only musical articles. I didn't see any redeeming features about their contributions here.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:23, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
