One of several edits by Lindodawki on 2014-03-22 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Contemporary_Christian_music&diff=prev&oldid=600800985 Edit by new account TheViney on 2014-03-23 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hillsong_Music_Australia&diff=prev&oldid=600954693 Same grammar. Similar wording. Same sort of unsupported statements. The editors have the same interests, Brazilian Christian worship music and so WP:QUACK.

TheViney has made no controversial edits, but I believe that if this editor is Lindodawki, the accounts may be used to avoid 3RR. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:22, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Notice the portion:
 * Diante do Trono and Hillsong are the major ministries of praise and worship in the world.
 * Diante do Trono, as much less well-known group is always placed first to imply prominence.
 * Definite article used.
 * "Praise and worship" is a term used to describe the genre that fell out of favour about a decade ago. The current term is "contemporary worship music.
 * Diante do Trono logo is inserted.
 * Why is the logo needed at all?
 * "Gospel" band is not the correct term either.
 * The Diante do Trono is a Brazilian band ...
 * Exactly the same in both edits including the definite article again and the list of leaders and "reference" to support sales, which is the least controversial item in the edit, but nothing else.
 * Hillsong logo along with Gospel band again.
 * The ''Hillsong is an Australian band...
 * Definite article.
 * Hillsong was not one of the first bands to do praise & worship. Starting in the 70s, when the term was coined, we had Calvary Chapel and Agape Force, two separate groups that recorded and released material. As the genre grew into the late 70s and 80s the dominant force became Hosanna! Integrity music who recorded a dozen albums a year featuring various leaders and choirs. I even got to participate one year, but that's another story. The Vineyard as a movement recorded many albums featuring the Langley Vinyard (from just down the road here) and other congregations, and various Calvary Chapel congregations recorded. Kingsway Music was a pPraise & worship label in England, that recorded bands from the UK and Europe. Hillsong didn't show-up until the early 90s after dozens of bands and labels had blazed a path. They're the first ones who turned it into a business.
 * The edits are pushing the editor's POV and are unsupported. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

 * - - TheViney is a clear sock, but I'm not comfortable blocking Lindodawki without CU given their editing history and the unfortunately too common occurrence of a joe job. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * is a ✅ as a sock of . At best this is a failed WP:CLEANSTART, though the attempt is negated by the fact that they returned to make the same contentious edits in the same topic area.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
