These two editors edit the same type of articles (and same articles), both removing content without explanation (Sinevik blocked twice and final warning on Gololur), they are non-responsive and do a lot of similar/same picture editing. Now when Sinevik is blocked, Gololur continues with same edit so I am suspecting block evasion. I have told an admin about this in the past at User talk:GiantSnowman/2014 and he responded at User talk:Qed237 to say I should open SPI so I do that now and I will explain my case below.

Here is my reasoning. I first noticed the case when Sinevik was blocked for repeatedly removing content and blanking without any explanation (about 4 final warnings before block) an other editor came along on the same type of articles (and many articles are exactly the same), doing the exact same thing. I noticed that Golour was the first editor and he/she took a brake after 4 March 2014 and then Sinevik made his first edit at 6 March 2014 (two days later). Then Sinevik continued until the block at midnight 28/29 April 2014 at which Golour woke up and made his first edit since his brake in march just 17 hours later (same contribution diff as above). A quick look at Juan Iturbe revision history or Alex Telles history tells they make the same edits, and looking at their contributions they edit same kind of articles.

Now today Sinevik was blocked a second time for doing edits like this without explanation and a few hours after he was block Gololur made the same edit. That lead me to this SPI as I now have reason to believe they are the same, but I can not be sure, and I was told to open SPI. QED 237  (talk)  23:28, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Today the second editor Gololur was blocked for socking and a third immediately appeared with the same edits to the same articles. Has to be stopped. QED 237  (talk)  21:15, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Obvious per name it is sock of Sinevik and most likely also Gololur as per previous discussion, and the article edited is the same as before. QED 237  (talk)  12:32, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Gololur, Sinevik, Galastuff and Sinevikfu are ✅, blocked and tagged. I've indeffed the master because of clear abuse of multiple accounts, but I won't mind someone changing the block. Materialscientist (talk) 00:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
