 * Closing without action. They are very likely the same person, but there is no overlap here. Seems like the person made their edit, then created an account to make their next edit. If they start editing with both the account and IP at the same time, feel free to re-report. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Creating an account after editing from an IP address is not in itself a violation of the sockpuppetry policy. It is only a violation when the person says that the IP and them are not the same person when they actually are (i.e. are lying) or use the account inappropriately (so are in violation of WP:ILLEGIT).

 * This user vandalized first as an IP, then vandalized again as a registered user. They only did this to avoid getting the IP blocked for vandalism. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 14:33, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , Ah, I hadn't scrolled all the way down. Cleverly hidden. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 14:39, 30 September 2020 (UTC)


 * reopening per above. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 14:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I would note that the reason I initially closed without action was because the edit by the account and the warning you left was only a minute apart and I assumed good faith that they didn't see the notice. I hadn't noticed that they vandalized in the same edit. Because of the vandalism and the attempt to hide it I'm going to block both the IP and account for 3 days for vandalism and violating WP:ILLEGIT.

 * I would add that next time you make a report, for the ease of the admin/clerk/CU dealing with your report, you give some information with the diffs (e.g. for this case "both vandalised with the same content"). Thanks for noticing this and pinging me to give me the extra info. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 14:49, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you, for blocking the user and the IP. I will try to explain more about the diffs next time I make a report. Thanks again, and stay safe. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 15:06, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
