 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

User:Samever is a sleeper account with very little activity, while User:ChroniclerV is a recently created SPA, both of which have appeared at Dragon's Crown on 12 January 2015, where they make unusual edits.
 * Samever makes an unexplained and dubious edit with no references or edit summary to the Dragon's Crown page at 16:44, 12 January 2015. I notice from their talk page that they have a history of inserting hoaxes, so I make the revert, only to have a different SPA come out of nowhere and revert me. Here, WP:DUCK can be invoked, as the highest likelihood for such a situation would be a quick account change by the same person, or alternatively the first user seeking assistance from a meatpuppet via a forum or some other communication medium; I sincerely doubt that a newly created SPA would independently and of their own free will stumble across the page and make the revert.
 * On 19:30, 12 January 2015, User:Samever blanked their talkpage in an attempt to possibly hide all the previous notices warning them about inserting hoaxes into articles. Then, at 19:32, 12 January 2015 (exactly two minutes afterwards), User:ChroniclerV does the exact same thing, deleting a notice from their talkpage warning them about creating hoaxes. This screams of WP:DUCK, plain and simple. -- benlisquare T•C•E 03:36, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Indeffed and tagged based on duck. They created the same hoax article. They also edited a template to add the hoax article. They're either editing together as friends or they are the same person. It doesn't matter which considering the abuse. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:34, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
