Mynameies is an intermittent editor who has a long history of unsourced edits (see talk page for litany of unheeded warnings about sourcing, copyright, etc) to articles on films, obscure and defunct production companies, and roller coaster companies (see, e.g., Articles for deletion/S.D.C.). Recently they received a stern final warning from Begoon for adding unsourced content for the nth time.

Yesterday, after Mynameies started adding unsourced edits to Nu Image, a new user called appeared, continuing the editing on Nu Image. Gian has not made many edits, but the edits they have made have similar characteristics and distribution to Mynameies' edits. For example, their first edit updated an article on a defunct roller coaster company with "Ceased Operations" here. They added an unsourced genre update to Serenity (2019 film), an article to which Mynameies previously added unsourced material. Gian also updated infobox founding dates for production companies, which is something that Mynameies seems to like doing as well (e.g.  ).

Other similarities include mobile web editing and similar oddly-capitalized edit summaries on the rare occasion when edit summaries are used (compare, e.g. Gian and Mynameies ). It may all be a big coincidence, or it may be an attempt to use serial accounts to evade scrutiny on ongoing unsourced edits. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 00:55, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Looking at the evidence provided, I see enough plausibility to block based on behavioral evidence. The edit summary use here and here both begin with "It's" and with capitalization and proper apostrophe use, as well as the capitalization of each word in the genre mentioned. I also believe that the timeline between the edits made to Nu Image is very suspicious, as well as the fact that both users added the exact same content to the article with nearly and hour of time difference between the events - see here and here. Both are without edit summary and with the same tags placed on each. Indeffing and tagging both users, and closing this SPI report...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:42, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
