A new account (Smackacid) registers and creates an article about an historical Kashmir-related individual as "Created the page", similar to Tyler Durden's creation as "created a page for Ved Bhasin" by creating article without categories but completing every other formality including references filling. Same summaries like "added a line".

While DiplomatTesterMan is a more complicated one, he shares some striking similarities with TylerDurden.


 * Both argue over "the word militant"/"the word "militant"".
 * Addition of events by years on List of massacres in Jammu and Kashmir.
 * Both have updated the month of March 2017 section of 2016–18 Kashmir unrest.
 * To this day, every article including the above ones that both of these users have shared were actually edited by TylerDurden much before DiplomatTesterMan reached.
 * Link addition as "see also" on 2009 Shopian rape and murder case, History of Kashmir. Lorstaking (talk) 12:29, 27 May 2018 (UTC)


 * DeltaQuad, I would ping Bbb23 who had previously compared with the master who was stale for over 5 months. Smackacid is editing the same controversial subject which is not allowed per the policy on operating multiple accounts. Lorstaking (talk) 19:28, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

 * I have no one to compare DiplomatTesterMan to, Smackacid on lack of evidence. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 22:16, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how it was done then,, but the only way to do it that I know of is to dig into the CU log, which is absolutely unreliable and a practice I rarely do. For Smackacid, editing a controversial topic is not evidence enough to suggest abuse of multiple accounts. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 00:06, 4 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Evidence is too thin for block(s). Closing with no action. Sro23 (talk) 00:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
