Looking into a possible case of sock/meat puppetry. After receiving a hint at User_talk:SamHolt6 from another editor, I looked at the contributions of User:Jwpetty1951, an older editor, and User:Shacho19, a new editor. Both editors edit exclusively in regards to Horse and Rider (the two concerned articles are List of works by Leonardo da Vinci and Horse and Rider (Leonardo da Vinci)), an area in which Jwpetty1951 has a disclosed conflict of interest. This matter came to my attention after Sancho19 removed references that Jwpetty1951 had previously objected (all of the references happen to disagree with the attribution of Horse and Rider to Da Vinci) and tried to remove from Horse and Rider (Leonardo da Vinci); see Talk:Horse_and_Rider_(Leonardo_da_Vinci) for another editor's response to this. This could of course be a false positive, but given the striking similarity in editing style this should be looked into. I have requested checkuser. SamHolt6 (talk) 19:02, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Even if they are the same, I'm not going to block someone for using multiple accounts when one account hasn't edited in 6 months. If there are other disruption issues, COIN or ANI seem better suited to deal with it. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:32, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
