Suspected sockpuppets
Madreterra was blocked in May 2022 for persistent addition of unsourced original research; MallonsTalons shows up three months later. Similar usernames (2-syllable M word, 2-syllable T word). Significant overlap in editing interest (films, metal music, organized crime) and pages. I noticed them because these edits by MallonsTalons basically reinstated the same assertions edit warred over by Madreterra. Click on any page that they have both edited, and the quacking is loud. Both concerned about linking basic terms at Taxi Driver; both interested in adding new entries at Cannibal films; both editing exactly the same specific text at the same specific section of Poisoned candy myths and the same "See Also" content; and at Wolverine, MallonsTalons shows up specifically to overlink the single word that Madreterra had earlier added.

Any random sampling of their editing overlap from EIA will provide similar examples. CU may not be necessary, but on a couple of occasions, I've seen IPs show up to bolster some of this editing, so sleepers are a possibility. Grandpallama (talk) 03:42, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
