I actually came across this by accident when 303British emailed me to ask how to make a page notable.

When I look at the contributions for Egypt's Sarcasm Society and 303British, they are creating the same pages. For example Sarcastech http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Sarcastech&timestamp=20130304114701 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Sarcastech&timestamp=20130401220837 and Egypt's Sarcasm Society http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&target=Egypt%27s+sarcasm+society&timestamp=20130304124533 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Egypt%27s_Sarcasm_Society&diff=next&oldid=548219409. I just find it very weird that they're creating the same pages albeit with slightly different content.

The Greatest Dictator, I am suspicious of because the account was set up at the same time and this users contributions also seem to be only to this article with the exception of one edit to a talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/The_Greatest_Director.

I am requesting Checkuser to see if these accounts are related and also to see if there's any sleepers if they are as there's also another new editor editing the Egypt's Sarcasm Society page but not strong enough evidence to report to SPI. 5 albert square (talk) 20:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Egypt's Sarcasm Society and The Greatest Director are . 303British appears to be ❌. T. Canens (talk) 13:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Even if Director is a sock, I'm not inclined to block as he is actually trying to do the right thing now by adding sources, rather than post some extremely blatant advertising. That actually makes me wonder if it's not the same person. Either way, the article in question is at AFD, and so I suspect this problem will resolve itself soon.
