Claim

Both accounts share identical user and talk pages (just a signature) have made complementary edits and share similar edit profiles. They are both currently participating at an RfC: Talk:Carles_Puigdemont. Both accounts voted there and on a previous poll. Edit history and content suggests that they are sleeper SPA accounts and most likely puppets of another master. The issue being debated is a highly controversial one and may affects the interpretation our MoS. In addition the user has resorted to personal attacks with me three times. for that reason and for the apparent previous Wikipedia knowledge I request a checkuser is performed to detect additional accounts.

Details:


 * 1) The account Made its first edit on April of 2015 on the talk page of Foibe massacres (see diff) the way it was written strongly suggests that the user had previous Wikipedia experience.
 * 2) After making three edits that demonstrated advance knowledge of our guidelines the 5th and 6th edits on 21 November 2015 were done to create a user page (see here) and talk page (see here). Both were created using just a signature.
 * 3) 20 days latter on 10 December 2015 the first 2 edits of the account are to make a user page (see here) and a talk page (see here). Again both were created in an identical manner as the ones created by Otomixal and there were no intermediate edits during those 20 days.
 * 4) On that same day Dell'Olmo made 5 minor spelling corrections that may have being aimed at masking 3 edits at Foibe massacres one of them made reference to the "issue raised on talk page" by Otomixal that I mentioned at point 1 (see diff)
 * 5) During the next two and a half years Dell'Olmo made very few edits. Added one reference and did some minor spelling edits but on 30 May 2018 joined the discussion at Talk:Carles Puigdemont with an edit ten times longer than all its previous contributions that also displayed a surprising knowledge of our guidelines in comparison to previous contributions and supported a previous edit of Otoximal (see diff). On that day Dell'Olmo also !voted in a poll (see diff).
 * 6) On 8 June 2018 Dell'Olmo !votes on the RfC (see diff) and on 9 June 2018 did an edit against the views of another user (see diff) using an uncommon argument similar to (this edit) by Otomixal. Dell'Olmo has not made any additional contributions since.
 * 7) After creating the userpage in November 2015 Otomixal made 6 edits in June 2016 and the account laid dormant until May 2018. Since then, it has made a large number of contributions to the talk page of Carles Puigdemont and a few to other related talk pages. Otomixal account also !voted at the poll on 29 May, one day before Dell'Olmo did(see diff), and on 7 June, also one day before Dell'Olmo !voted on the RfC as well (see here).
