Account was created sixteen months ago and made three edits; slept until today, when Themike created Zappzter (hist)and Mike edited it. Both accounts have edited only that page (aside from Mike's edits in January 2012).  Ignatz mice•talk 05:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Both users are SPAs who are editing Zappzter. With the similarity of usernames and coordinated edits, this quacks loudly, either as socks or meat-puppets. See history, removal of CSD tag, surrounding edits are by main account that created the article. GregJackP  Boomer!   04:57, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Merged the two duplicate cases. Legoktm (talk) 05:13, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Based on the rapid-fire editing from one account, then the other, and continuing back and forth, I'm guessing they're friends or colleagues. Since the article was deleted, I'm going to close this for now. (I think it's likely they/he will just leave anyway.) Feel free to re-report if further evidence turns up.
