- Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
Besides similar usernames, Pillow4 blanked Pillow6's sandbox. Both accounts created identical sandboxes, see User:Pillow6/sandbox and User:Pillow4/sandbox. -- LuK3 (Talk) 13:24, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

- No doubt about it, also editing the same extremely specialized topics. But seeing as they don't have any real reason to jettison the first account (just some expressions of concern), one might charitably assume that this is just a lost password + cluelessness about account policies... --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:10, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Pillow4 has been the topic of discussion at WP:AN/I based on their one-sided, undiscussed taxonomy edits. Pillow6 popped up following the AN/I discussion. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:10, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Pillow6's unsigned, 'naive' questions on their talk page (here and here, e.g.) are uncharacteristic of an editor who is apparently well-versed in editing wikicode. Pillow4's first edit was to delete a large section from the page of a user who's not been active since 2018. It would be interesting to learn the story behind that; it's unlikely they're the same person. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 15:30, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
