Iniciativass noticed that Kainobi's draft in AfC [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Mihail_Aleksandrov_(painter)&oldid=542203050] and Sourov0000's article in main space [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mihail_Aleksandrov_(painter)&oldid=548628781] are about the same subject. In [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rybec&oldid=568096590#Mihail_Aleksandrov_.28painter.29 a discussion on my talk page], Sourov0000 denies knowing about Kainobi's article, and said: "I have no connection with Kainobi and don't know him. Although I have seen that he has edited the article of Mihail Aleksandrov (painter) for once." I noticed that both Sourov0000's and Kainobi's versions contain "his painting style is deeply rooted in the Russian spiritual and artistic tradition." They have several other phrases in common as well: (comparison of the latest version in AfC to the earliest version in main space). Both Sourov0000 and Kainobi edited another article about a contemporary painter, Vasily Kafanov. Their edits to that article and to Mihail Aleksandrov (painter) were about two or three hours apart, according to [//toolserver.org/~snottywong/cgi-bin/editorinteract.cgi?user1=Sourov0000&user2=Kainobi&ns=none&startdate=&enddate=]. — rybec   18:46, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Based on the edit patterns of User:Sourov0000 and User:Kainobi technically, they may not be socks but they do have a connection and know each other.--Iniciativass (talk) 21:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

 * In this case they won't be socks - Kainobi hired Sourov0000 to improve and post the article. - Bilby (talk) 21:15, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

 * They haven't yet really done anything worthy of a block even if they are the same person, although I find the comment about having no knowledge of each other rather dubious. Closing, then, with no action taken. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:48, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
