 Looks like a duck to me for the tag team vandalism on Magic: The Gathering (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Note also the tag team editing on Shadow Era (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Possibly WP:MEAT rather than WP:SOCK, but clearly a joint effort to destroy the first article. Murph9000 (talk) 23:48, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

•  Additional information needed - @Murph9000: Can you provide some WP:diffs of their "tag teaming"? What I found out is that KaiLel was vandalising, and Archit Archit was reverting that vandalism ([1] vs. [2], [3] vs. [4]). Vanjagenije (talk) 19:35, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  @Vanjagenije: Sure. These 5 sequential edits by Archit Archit, immediately followed by this edit by KaiLel. They were working together on that article, introducing the same theme of false information. Those are the opening salvos of the attack on Magic: The Gathering. The similarity of theme and timing of those edits sells it to me as a malicious conspiracy between them. I agree on the other article it looks mostly (all?) like one good and one bad, which makes me think it is probably WP:MEAT, sitting (virtually, perhaps) side by side and agreeing on harm to the subject they don't care for, and one of them being protective over the subject they do care for while the other just goofs around with it in a more minor way. I see no clear sign of good faith from Archit Archit on the Magic article, just flip flopping on a small part of the damage he introduced and leaving most of the damage there. Archit started it, then KaiLel mostly took over, hence my choice of "tag team". Murph9000 (talk) 19:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
