User:Special Cases was indef blocked on October 31, and was suspected of sockpuppetry. User:Mr. Berty started editing approximately two weeks later, and three out of the first five edits were to pages previously edited by Special Cases ([1] [2]), one of which had been created by Special Cases and only had two prior edits in total. The sixth edit was to install Lupin's anti-vandal tool, ([3]), which was also used by Special Cases ([4]). Otherwise, a number of behavioural similarities: both users are interested in Electronic Music, editing on some of the same pages (other than the above, Emo, DJ Spooky and Mezzanine (album)); both focused on anti-vandal work; and both added userboxes in a drop-down to their userpage, a number of which (including location and software) were identical.
