Suspected sockpuppets
I believe Finnerz627 was created one day after Finnerz100 was blocked for vandalism in order to continue vandalizing.

All of Finnerz627's edits have been reverted for vandalism, and similar things can be said for Finnerz100.

Moreover:


 * Both users have vandalized/unconstructively edited Hannibal's Wikipedia page, claiming that Hannibal was in some way or another "a brilliant military leader" and made "One of the best tactical trickery." ([], [])
 * Both users seem to have trouble grasping proper English grammar, as is evidenced in the above links and can be seen further in the above edits and the following large edits from Finnerz100: [], []
 * Both users also have oddly similar usernames, and this is not necessarily a sign of sockpuppetry, it is still a bit suspicious.

Both users have already been blocked for vandalism, and I'm not quite sure whether this SPI has any meaning in that case, but I'm submitting it anyways.

PS: I've looked into this username a little bit more and found: Finnerz and FinnerzA. They all seem to be of vandalous nature but haven't edited in quite a while. Finnerz and FinnerzA were both trying to add nonsensical content to various British sports-related articles ([], []). They were adding similar style content to Finnerz627's additions to various Britain related articles ([], [])
