These two accounts almost always exclusively edit the same article in the same way at the same time around a wide-range of topics. Examples: After the edits on December 3, 2012, I asked both editors if they could explain their relationship to each other (see and  with a link to the relevant policy.  Neither responded to the request.  However, just over one month later, both accounts were working together with the creation and development of the article Morgan Sadler.  So they were both active and recieved the message.  They just chose to ignore it. I am asking for a CheckUser in order to confirm that these are, in fact, sockpuppet, and not something more akin to meatpuppets. Singularity42 (talk) 12:09, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * March 2, 2010 on the article Snowcock. Yarock's edit, followed immediately by Lampfest's edit.
 * May 24 and 25, 2011 on the article Comparison of project-management software. Too many similar edits to provide diffs, but check out particularly this edit by Yarock and this edit by Lampfest.
 * May 26 annd 27, 2011 on the article Jonas Software. Simply too many diff from both editors on that day to make a fulsome list here.
 * December 3, 2012 on the article Crime in Canada, where both accounts were used to change the images on the article.
 * January 13, 2013 on the article Morgan Sadler, and article created by Lampfest and then edited on by Yarock.

 * The multiple accounts were mostly harmless, but a combination of tandem edit warring at Comparison of project-management software to avoid 3RR, and a completely refusal to communicate means this is someone who should have to stick to one account. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:42, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
