- User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
- Editor interaction utility
- Draykyle has been creating company bios, with the companies being far removed from each other. I therefore asked about COI, receiving an unsatisfactory answer- he was "creating the pages for a friend".
- He then ceased editing, after I told him quite bluntly that I didn't believe him.
- Gurutsm then appeared, moving Draykyle's sandbox article, Reservations.com into mainspace (the article has since been deleted; however User:Northamerica1000 has confirmed that the two articles are verbatim identical).
- In addition to this, Draykyle had been working on a reworded version of Payoneer in his sandbox. Gurutsm then copied this to mainspace on the 25 August.
- I think it is clear that after receiving the COI notice, Draykyle scuttled ship, and Gurutsm is his new account; however I wouldn't mind CheckUser confirmation. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:15, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

- Unlikely technically; there are a bunch of accounts that could possibly maybe be sleepers but I'm not ready to block those yet. Much more likely to be meat than sock. Wish I could do better right now but there are endless possibilities for the future. Katietalk 21:57, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
- Indeffing both as UPEs and I don't believe the master's response on his talk page. Deleting everything in his userspace as advertising. Closing.
