Both are single-purpose accounts that only edit articles relating to Herman Cain's 2012 presidential campaign. They both appeared on the scene in late October 2011 and have been making many of the same types of edits to Cain-related articles; notably, both accounts have been removing references to Cain's "Uzbekistan" foreign policy gaffe. I wonder if there may be conflict of interest issues here, too. Difluoroethene (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Upon further inspection, it looks like Insider didn't delete the Uzbekistan gaffe, but he did express the view that it was "not a policy issue", similar to Zkc's having said that it was "not a political position". Difluoroethene (talk) 13:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

 * - Could you provide some diffs, Im not seeing which edits seem to be pushing the same view in contribs but I could very well be blind. Alexandria   (talk)  13:38, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
