 * Suspected sockpuppets

On the Fulani people page: Guineapulaaro, a new account created yesterday, in his first Wikipedia edit removed a passage that the just blocked User:Andajara120000 had earlier taken exception to on the talk page. I then reverted his edit. Near the same time the following day/today, another newly registered account, Sankaretfree, appeared on the page and again removed the same passage. This was this account's first website edit as well, and he included no edit summary. He later wikilawyered a little bit, complaining about "WP:SYNTH" in several edit summaries. Altogether, the similar account registration dates, short editing histories, identical first edits on the same page, similar timing and succession of those first edits, and precocious familiarity with Wikipedia policies/editing suggest that these are likely the same user.
