 * Both are single purpose accounts focused on promoting Mark Kirk and/or negativizing (is that a word?) the article of Kirk's political oppenent, Alexi Giannoulias. There are no concurrent edits, with each having a distinct block of time in which the other did not edit. (XJRfoBY 17:06 - 18:41; TheTacoKing96 18:49 - 18:54; XJRfoBY 18:59 - 19:06; TheTacoKing961 9:13 - 19:16; XJRfoBY 20:16 - 20:37; TheTacoKing96 20:40 - 20:50) Both have the habit of not signing their talk page posts, and both have a similar style of edit summaries. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I have taken a look at XJRfoBY's and TheTacoKing96's contribs and my impression is that 69.181.249.92 is essentially correct. Both accounts started operating at about the same time, both are SPAs editing the same two articles and both are pretty heavy POV pushers engaged in tendentious editing. Seems likely to be either sock- ore meat-puppets. Nsk92 (talk) 19:57, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
