The two accounts have been supporting each other at Anu Malik and Talk:Anu Malik, focusing on toning down/whitewashing controversies surrounding the director. Today, Ethicaleditor1234 slipped up here, talking about Ethicaleditor1234 in the third person and signing (or pretending to sign) the post "Nkupad". bonadea contributions talk 15:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User was created a few days after sock and master were blocked and is only focused on removing the criticism section (which the master and sock were obsessed with as well). HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:43, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SPA focusing on removing sourced criticism from Anu Malik, while claiming that all other editors hold a personal grudge against Malik - the exact same behaviour as previous socks. Stylistic similarities: [1], [2], [3]. See also this edit + ES and this ES, both from the sockmaster, and this edit from Abhinamukunda. bonadea contributions talk 19:41, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
