This is a fairly obvious passer of the Duck Test. LynxSpider made a half-dozen edits in a single day, then a week later GreenLynxSpider started making the same sorts of edits (without worrying about references and/or lacking in competence, e.g. and ) to the same articles and more besides. There may well be a perfectly innocent reason for there being two accounts with such similar names effectively operating in lockstep (perhaps a newbie not knowing that such things are frowned upon, or a forgotten password), but equally there may be something else - such decisions are why the admins get paid the big bucks. Oh wait, we do this for the fun of it... YSSYguy (talk) 07:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
