Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but editors named Oldnoah and Youngnoah are both editing, diff 1 diff 2 but many other examples could be provided, the article about the obscure company Vivint. Both are newcomers, so I'm thinking this may just be an unfamiliarity with policy about alternative accounts. TransporterMan ( TALK ) 01:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

 * - - The username plus the overlap on Vivint definitely looks very suspicious. But given the relatively large number of edits on both accounts, I'd prefer a check to be absolutely sure. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 03:55, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Discarded the notion that this editor isn't aware of alternative account policy, as he's already been blocked for sockpuppetry. It looks like one account edits from work and one account edits from home. Definitely and behaviourally, looks . WilliamH (talk) 11:16, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've left a note on Oldnoah's page about alternative account use. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:52, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
