Mike_maroon edit warred in removing the sourced words "crystal children" from the Indigo children article. Mwiki2014! (the M probably being short for "Mike") carried out the exact same edit. WP:DUCK. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:15, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm adding Wikepedia14! and Wikepedia2014, since both have done quacking edits similar to Mike Maroon at Category:New York City Council members (the category page itself). and Freedom Riders. If I made a mistake in how I added them, please let me know. Grayfell (talk) 05:06, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

The puppet added by Ian is obvious. Because it's only one edit, I'd probably endorse a CU before blocking, though. However,, yours isn't so obvious, and it would be helpful if you could provide diffs of the puppets and the master so they may be compared.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * . Based on the diffs provided by Grayfell that tie all four accounts together, I'm endorsing a CU. It probably isn't even necessary as at this point as I'm prepared to block based on duck, but it would be good to confirm and see if any sleepers turn up.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:46, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
