Keep changing image of Typhoon Yutu and the season's section, since they both doing the similar things, possible violating WP:SCRUTINY. B dash (talk) 12:29, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Creating a "backup account" with the same username + "Alt" is hardly avoiding scrutiny. That doesn't necessarily make it a legitimate account, of course - more lame than anything else.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:58, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Both accounts now say they are quitting Wikipedia. I indeffed the so-called alternative account. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:25, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Both like changing the tropical cyclone images in the infobox, also both like undoing their edits in a short time Special:Diff/875185279 and Special:Diff/872909850 B dash (talk) 05:27, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I think they are unrelated. I think Terryfirut already knows not to make edits like this while Trin5ty has not.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:01, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

 * - Not stale and may as well see if it can be confirmed one way or another. The SandDoctor  Talk 17:23, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Checkuser comment: These two accounts appear to be ❌. Perhaps try to figure out where they are sourcing some of this information, because both accounts seem to be making the same unsourced edits which are subsequently reverted.  Risker (talk) 04:07, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Trin5ty was blocked for unrelated reasons, so we might as well close this. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:41, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

They do have similar behaviour of making non-constructive edits on articles related to tropical cyclones. Further details can be seen at Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1002 and Unsourced and/or false information added by Es204L.

(Note: The former one was indefly blocked because of WP:NOTHERE, and because of housekeeping according to User:Bbb23, I listed the SPI here) B dash (talk) 12:59, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I want to see if there is any relations between User:Trin5ty and User:Es204L. --B dash (talk) 09:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones, Tropical Storms are the types of tropical cyclones. They are within the WP:WPTC. --B dash (talk) 15:57, 2 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Special:Diff/881277214, Special:Diff/882193890 from Trin5ty,
 * Special:Diff/883367019, Special:Diff/883723487 from Es204L, basically adding incorrect info to the page. --B dash (talk) 16:15, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm struck by the folowing points: Cabayi (talk) 12:04, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Neither of the ANI reports cited makes mention of the other user;
 * Es204L is focussed on Tropical Cyclone articles, while Trin5ty edited Hurricanes, Typhoons, Cyclones, Tropical Storms, almost anything but Tropical Cyclones;
 * Trin5ty was unresponsive - Es204L's responses, when they came, seem to show poor language skills as a plausible cause. So..

Please check against, similar behaviour in minor changes to numerical details on historic weather events, possible block evasion. Cabayi (talk) 23:37, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Es204L and Trin5ty are ❌ to each other and to Terryfirut. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:22, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
