Both accounts work almost exclusively on the article Heston Blumenthal and related articles. In effect, they have turned the article about Blumenthal in a quite promotional piece, not always properly sourced. But most striking are the action around the Coat of Arms. This Coat of Arms was added by Berkshireborn58 here but later removed by delinkerbot conform the removal as copyvio on. Foodyfanatic readded the Coat of Arms here. Just like the first time, lifted from Pinterest without evidence that is public domain.

The similarities in interest and writing style are remarkable and with the uploading of that coat of arms it is time for a check. The Banner talk 10:41, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Insearchofgrub is the third SPA account since February 2014 to edit articles related to chef Heston Blumenthal and his work, using his cookbooks as sources. The first two such accounts were blocked for socking earlier this month.

Insearchofgrub submitted Triple Cooked Chips to AFC in February 2014, where it was rejected: Foodyfanatic created an identical copy of it in article space in April 2014. Foodyfanatic idiosyncratically formats some references with page numbers outside of ref tags, and Insearchofgrub has done the same. McGeddon (talk) 14:58, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

 * is very likely and I've blocked and tagged the account as such. I've also blocked the master account indefinitely as they don't appear to get the whole "one person, one account" bit.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  17:43, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
