 * I dont see any relation between the users rather than the fact that the edits targeted the same article and were mobile edits. Zince  34'   07:53, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

 * What is suspicious about these accounts, aside from editing the same article and both making mobile edits, is the fact that they were created 20 minutes apart from each other. In addition, they edited the Banepa Valley School article minutes apart... Sanjay karate edits, then 18 minutes later Banepali fixes capitalization. Sanjay karate edits again, and then 5 minutes later Banepali makes another minor edit. But while suspicious, this isn't malicious, and my instincts don't scream "sockpuppet". I can't see any reason for switching between two accounts so quickly to make minor, uncontroversial edits to an article. My gut tells me that these are probably just two people who know each other, possibly students at the school. As to whether or not they are socks of Ascii002, I'd say not a chance, considering that they are both trying to improve the article and Ascii002 had tried twice to delete it, once by CSD and the second time by PROD, and then added a citation needed tag to the edits that the other accounts made. That's enough to convince me that these guys aren't sockpuppets. With all this being said, and with no response from Widefox to add the requested info, I'm going to mark this for closure with no action needed. --  At am a  頭 16:53, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
