Last month, Samiaansaria spammed the Hyundai Xcent article by making it look like an advertisement while posting invalid formats for his references, as evidenced in the following edits:


 * Edit 1
 * Edit 2

In addition, he used the IP address 103.26.55.90 to do a revert

Just tonight, a similarly named user named Samiaaan posted this edit. Areaseven (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Samiaansaria and Samiaaan names are similar enough to be suspicious, and Samiaaan's one edit to looks  mostly similar though not exactly with Samiaansaria's  With Samiaaan having only one edit to date, I'm uncomfortable jumping to a conclusion based solely on name and behavior of one edit. However, there is enough suspicion where CU would be definitive for the registered users.—Bagumba (talk) 08:25, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
