Both of these are single purpose accounts that have tag-teamed to revert criticisms of Ricardo Duchesne. This is a red flag on it's own, since Duchesne is a fringe academic who mostly publishes in far right pseudo-journals. They've both been reverting the same stuff for years. The most recent reverts happened in the last 24 hours. The first from Otto Von Gallino at 4PM EST yesterday (diff), and the next coming from Grace Lykos at 3PM EST today (diff). In addition: These are definitely not fresh, but Thorodan and Gorvenal also fit this same profile, and suggest that there's a really lengthy history of abuse at this page.

 * Both accounts mark virtually all of their edits as "minor"
 * Both accounts leave similar aggressive edit summaries that attribute criticisms to smears from "SJW"s (diff) or "Antifa" (diff) and inflate the importance of Duchesne's scholarship (diff) (diff)
 * Both cite "this thing has a Wikipedia page" as a reason to include or remove information (diff, diff)
