 * The two accounts' versions of Aaryan prasai had substantial amounts of identical content, sufficiently so to make it clear that the newer version was an edited and improved version of the first one, not an independent creation. All edits of Aaryan Prasai have been oversighted, so it's impossible to compare them. I don't see any point in asking an oversighter to look at them, because there is already enough evidence from Aaryan prasai to show that the two accounts are either one person or else two people working together. However, it is not clear to me that the use of two accounts constitutes abuse: there is no evasion of blocks, no contributing to the same discussion to give the impression of independent support, no evasion of scrutiny that I can see, nor any other obvious abuse. I am therefore closing the case, without prejudice to reopening it if evidence of abuse comes up in the future. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
