Both accounts participating in the same discussion in close temporal proximity to each other; both have similar sentences on their userpages ("Hi. I like Tropical cyclones. I created this account to edit a few articles on tropical cyclones because I didn't want my IP address to be visible publicly." and "Hello I am a new user here, I created this account to edit articles and as well as to avoid my ip address being publicly shared."); and both have very similar usernames (Hurricane ?\d{4}) and interests.

The other Account... That is surely not me. I will check on that matter. Hurricane4235 (talk) 05:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I am Hurricane4235. Maybe also did not want to share his IP address so he created his account. That is not me for sure. Hurricane4235 (talk) 05:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

To clarify things, I do not have any other accounts this is my first and only account I have. Hurricane 8021 (talk) 05:20, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

I as well created this account because I also do not want my ip address being shared. Hurricane 8021 (talk) 05:28, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

 * This is pretty close to WP:DUCK, but 8021 has so few edits that I can't entirely be sure. Similar userpages obviously, and suspicious timing, but I can't rule out the possibility that 8021 is a new user mimicking 4235 for whatever reason. The exchange at is also not quite what I'd expect of someone trying to sock in a talkpage discussion.  in hopes that CU evidence will shed some light.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * And to everyone's surprise... they're ❌. TonyBallioni (talk) 06:10, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I still find it hard to believe that this is a complete coincidence. I'm closing this without action, but I'd remind both of you that off-wiki coördination in discussions is prohibited, and that if you wind up participating in a lot of discussions together, you may wind up back here on suspicion of that. If that's entirely unfounded, I apologize; but I hope you can see where I'm coming from here. Happy editing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
