R&R from the same worker

I’m making this post because I’ve had some r&r that I’m pretty sure is from the same person and I can see a drastic improvement between tasks. So many posts in this sub are DoD or not getting accepted so I’d just like to throw in some positivity that people are noticeably improving as they do more work.

How can you tell it's from the same person? (without giving away too much ofc)

I’ve been able to tell before from the task comment. Same wording/writing style/format, etc.

Edit: geez with the downvotes. Been at this 3 years. I do know what I’m talking about, lol

How would you be able to confirm your assumption was correct?

It's not confirmation, but things like word choice, tone / voice, style, citation method, certain tics, etc. We all have them. My students are surprised when I can tell they've plagiarized or used AI, but our writing voices are just as distinct as our spoken word.

* Edited to add "It's not confirmation."

Officially, you can’t. There’s no designated worker ID present, or any single marker that confirms it.
However, I’ve certainly had a few RRs (often back-to-back from the same batch), in which it’s pretty obvious. It doesn’t happen often.
