The Ciobanu Oilor account account was created on August 6th. They made their first edit on August 9th. So far, their only edits have been to one to List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust, one to create their user page, and 5 to Talk:List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust. Most of their edits to that talk page have been to defend the editor Transformers2000 or to intervene on their behalf.

Transformers2000 is apparently obsessed with List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust. Since they made their first edit on June 15, they have made 88 edits to that article, and 63 edits to its talk page. They have made 2 edits to other articles, both about people on that list, and only 2 completely unrelated article edits. . So, of their total of 157 edits, 153 of them have been connected to that one article.

Ciobanu Oilor begins many of their comments with "Mate...", and Transformers2000 just did the same. Sure, many editors do that, but those editors aren't tag teaming the same talk page.

I think that it's a very likely possibility that the Ciobanu Oilor account was created for the express purpose of defending or supporting Transformers2000 on the talk page. Transformers2000 acts like a newbie, an annoying newbie, actually, who isn't picking up on simple tips and advice given them multiple times, but the newbie smell is starting to wear off a little, and their edits are beginning to feel a bit like trolling.

 * Background: The list article List of major perpetrators of the Holocaust is almost entirely unsourced, and my interactions with Transformers2000 on the talk page have been in an effort to get it sourced with citations from reliable sources. I've also been insisting that any new names that T2000 wants to add to the list be sourced.  Just now, Ciobanu Oilor posted on my talk page that they would delete the list, and made two attempts to do so, which were reverted.  This seems like retaliatory action from T2000 for my not allowing them to add names to the list at will, which they've been doing for a couple of months now.

 * Ciobanu Oilor's actions also allow T2000 to look like a calm, rational voice on the talk page, which is pretty classic bad hand/good hand behavior. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:23, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
