Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts popped up to support another editor at Talk:Turing test after not having edited since mid-2016. They have similar user name patterns, one-line user pages (user:DanversCarew, "Hi, I am from the UK and am just getting started with Wikipedia." and user:GillSanderson, "I am a ghost writer - having been beaten to death at the height of my career."), and a history of editing topics related to Warwick University. There are other accounts that fit the same pattern, such as user:Lesgriffin ("I am a computer programmer, living in London, at the moment just getting started in Wikipedia."), but that one is stale. I am requesting checkuser evidence because (a) it will be difficult to get the Turing test article under control without compelling evidence) and (b) given this pattern, there is a meaningful possibility that other accounts are involved.

 * I've just put this on hold because I am considering relisting this for more checks on the basis of evidence I'm still compiling. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 17:27, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Closing again. I won't have much time over the next six days to look more closely at this, so I'll file a new SPI when I get the chance to compile evidence. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 00:32, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
