Hello everyone. I have reservations that Zaneoyo may be a secondary account of recently blocked user.

Here are the parallels:




 * The accounts both started editing on 18 September 2015, and both immediately gravitated toward the same group of articles.


 * The first edit, by D M WELL, was made 03:38, 18 September 2015.


 * The first edit by Zaneoyo was made 04:11, 18 September 2015.


 * On the same day, within minutes of each other, both accounts began editing Roman Atwood.


 * The next day, D M WELL began editing the Yousef Erakat article. Shortly after, Zaneoyo appears and starts editing this article as well.


 * D M WELL was blocked on 04:22, 24 September 2015 for repeated violations of the WP:BLP policy. Zaneoyo ceased editing for one week after this block, resuming at 02:28, 1 October 2015.  This may be a sign of block collision.

My apologies if I am reading too much into this, this is a strange set of coincidences. Regards, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Yamaguchi%E5%85%88%E7%94%9F&action=edit&amp;section=new Yamaguchi先生] 17:33, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

 * This additional account is part of their group. I'm not sure if we have clumsy promoters or a few fans that thought it would be good to work together. Without clearer violations on the part of the unblocked accounts, it may be better to let them edit for now. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the warning.

 * Closing this for now. Please refile if there is more evidence after the editor resumes editing.
