There's some admitted meatpuppeting going on but if it's actually the same person, I will hand out blocks instead of fully protecting the article. Neil N  talk to me 03:09, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

This is pretty obvious Eshumaitreyus has made a series of contested edits to The Penguins of Madagascar that are being discussed on the article's talk page. After he was given two warnings for edit-warring (he has actually violated 3RR) User:Asukadamooka was created in order to revert at the article. This has been the only edit to article space using this account. However, the account has also been used to edit the talk page of one of the editors active at the article. The second edit was part of a tag-team attack by both editors. The language used by the two accounts is vastly different, so much so that it is obvious that the second account is clearly the first going out of its way to (unsuccessfully) hide its source. Eshumaitreyus has posted to Asukadamooka's talk page using some similar language and has made statements making it clear that the two accounts at the very least know each other. Eshumaitreyus has claimed that Asukadamooka is his good friend and little brother in an edit summary. Even if these are not the same account, which I doubt as Asukadamooka knows far too much about editing Wikipedia for an editor with only 5 edits to his name, at the very least it is meatpuppetry. Given that on Asukadamooka's talk page, Eshumaitreyus said that he would be seeking the help of others "Tell Ballah, Kare n the other boys n girls I appreciate their help too, especially if the hatred and/or unauthorized wholesale deletion continues", I expect to see more socks appear. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 07:01, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Obviously I spoke too soon. has now started editing. As expected, Eshumaitreyus has commented on Asukala02's talk page, 14 minutes after the account was created, and, like the post on Asukadamooka's talk page, clearly demonstrates a prior association with each other. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 07:27, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

 * The fact that the new "friend" is offended at us calling her a meatpuppet when she hasn't even been mentioned on this page prior to that comment is suspicious. nyuszika7h (talk) 08:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

 * - Although blocks wouldn't be currently unreasonable, let's see if CU can see if they're socks or meat. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 15:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
