I found this while patrolling new pages. One account creates stub articles of snowboarders, while the other about rugby players. Yet somehow I feel like the articles are a exact copy of each other: X is a [nationality] [sport] player. Blank line. She competed at the Y (, and Z). Also both tend to use the Oxford comma when listing tournaments, which isn't super unusual, but it adds to the already similar editing behavior. ~Styyx Talk? ^-^ 21:58, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

 * ❌ I got snookered into doing a check when I saw that they were both involved in WikiProject Women in Red, but in retrospect I think the more straightforward explanation for the common writing style but different topics is simply that they're both following a WIR example and working off different lists of WIR articles that needed to be written. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
