Arizonabhoot is a single purpose account that popped up today amidst a recent discussion on WP:ANI regarding a the reliability of a link. Seems to be a likely sockpuppet/ or meatpuppet of User:Nefirious.

The account (which was created the day after Nefirious was blocked) has been removing maintenance and COI tags, as well as a PROD tag, from Fire Crown Productions, an article created by Nefirious, about a company closely connected to Nefirious' own company (the COI was shown in [Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_156#saberqureshi.com this RSN thread).

As for behavioural evidence, the communicative style of the two accounts are extremely similar, including a very confrontational tone and several characteristic language errors. bonadea contributions talk 19:28, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

A new account created the day after Nefirious was blocked. Went straight to the defence of Stealing Mary (currently at AfD), which Nefirious had created a year ago. Both have also edited Fire Crown Productions. Seems familiar with Wikipedia policy. Similarity of names might be significant too? AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:24, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

just hours after the most recent sock was blocked, Createart101 comes in to the very obscure article Fire Crown Productions to continue the same promotional edits. Requesting checkuser since this sock was created after the last block, the user has moved to a different IP and may have other sleepers. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:04, 20 October 2013 (UTC) --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:04, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
