Two things that immediately stand out are the user names ("Gian" in both) and the timing of the edit histories. User:Zlgiancarlo was blocked on January 13 and User:Gianlikestodraw's first edit was on January 16. Zlgiancarlo has a history of being blocked for disruptive behavior, particularly the additional of unsourced and often not even factual information. Gianlikestodraw also had edited many of the same articles that Zlgiancarlo has.
 * Zlgiancarlo's last edit and a more recent edit by Gianlikestodraw
 * The last 9 edits to Fuel discography are by either Zlgiancarlo and Gianlikestodraw.
 * Red discography is another heavily edited page by both users.
 * Sample of articles created by these users: Zlgiancarlo created Blood Stained Revolution (song); Gianlikestodraw created All That I Got (Tremonti song). Both articles are one line song stubs with unsourced, unverifiable chart claims.
 * On an edit like this, Gian added completely fabricated info, highlighted by the #81 peak on the 40-song Adult Top 40 chart. I've very concerned about all the chart information these two (one) editors have added to various articles as I believe much of it to be wrong and often just made up.

WP:DUCK; edits to same/similar bands, creation of fake Pokémon soundtrack with really unlikely track list. Also, Zlgiancarlo previously created the hoax article Orlando TV. Trivialist (talk) 23:55, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
