I noticed that Moviemoguls and Cybornetics are currently both participating in Articles for deletion/Dinner with Lloyd (created by Moviemoguls, diff) and Articles for deletion/Cybornetics (created by Moviemoguls, diff). The contributions histories for each (M, C) are not very extensive but both have edited in the articles Draft:360 Sound and Vision Ltd and Cybornetics. In 2013, Cybornetics asked Nimuaq why the Dwayne Buckle article had not been approved for creation (link); coincidentally, Moviemoguls just created Dwayne Buckle today (diff). (Incidentally, that article appears to have gone through a couple Afds.) Additionally, Cybornetics' first two edits in over a year were in the aforementioned Afds.

 * I have notified both accounts, but edit histories have it appear that Cybornetics is either a sock or meat puppet of Moviemoguls.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 11:43, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Given there's some involvement of both accounts in 2 AfDs, I'd like to confirm it just to be sure. Though I'd be very surprised if they're not the same given the similar editing style 1, 2 and that both accounts forget to sign often. 3, 4 Mike V • Talk 02:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

 * A question for  Edit history seems to show that of these two editors, the first ever WP edit was made by Moviemoguls at 16:11, 16 November 2012, and the earliest edit by Cybornetics was at 18:24, 21 February 2013... some three months later. So would that not indicate that Moviemoguls was the master and Cybornetics the puppet?  Thanks  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 00:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * We usually go by the account creation date. Cybernetics was created in August 1, 2012, while Moviemoguls was created in November 15, 2012. Mike V • Talk 02:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay... I was going by first active edit. Thank you.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 02:58, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Same articles, same verbiage. Neil N  talk to me 18:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Also, can the master's block length be increased? Dwayne Buckle was salted so the sock created Dwayne S. Buckle --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 18:35, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
