Suspected sockpuppets

Both user accounts have only edited The King Edward VI School, Morpeth (see Special:Contributions/C l savage and Special:Contributions/Siobhanwarrington). The user accounts were both created to edit the article in question (the time of creation of both accounts and the time when the first edit on the page occurred is 15mins and 1min respectively). The first account has claimed that they are the current headteacher. (See Special:Diff/862742262 where they claim that they are the headteacher).

The first account has repeatedly attempted to add unsourced information to the article (specifically the title of the headteacher and changing executive headteacher to CEO) and furthermore the school website lists the title of the headteacher as 'Mrs' not 'Ms' and still lists the executive headteacher as the person who is supposed to be the CEO. See. The adding of unsourced information has been repeated 4 times by the first account (see 1 2 3 4 for the reversions by me, and ).

The second account then edits the article, changing the title of the headteacher as the first account did (see 1 2). 19mins later the first account edits the article, but only adds the other unsourced information (changing to CEO from executive headteacher. See 1 and 2. Also, see Interaction Timeline for time difference). The edit by the first account 19mins later used the edit summary Corrected titles Clare Savage is headteacher now, even though they do not edit the headteachers title. This suggests that, either:
 * the person who is behind the first account thought they were still editing using the second account
 * that they had logged on to the first account after editing using the second account, but then typed in what they had done in the second account in the edit summary.

Although the second account uses an edit summary that refers to the headteacher in the 3rd person (I changed the head teachers name to Ms Clare Savage. She is not Mrs. Do not know why it has been changed. We should call people by their proper names), the second account also does this (Corrected titles Clare Savage is headteacher now). Also, the website had not been updated when the two accounts had made their edits and from what I can find, there is no other source readily available which shows that her title is 'Ms' not 'Mrs'. So the second account must either be the first account controller or someone who knows the headteacher (and would know her preferred title). However, if this is the second case, then it is unlikely that the second account would both know the headteacher, would visit the article and also notice a small detail in the article, so therefore, I would say that the first account controller would then be the headteacher and the second account controller would be someone acting on her behalf (and so would be covered by WP:MEAT).

Due to the lack of time between the accounts editing, the summaries above and the addition of the same unsourced material, I am sure that the two accounts are controlled/managed by the same person, whether that is or is not the headteacher.

 * The webpage has now been updated (this change was made today after 9:00AM, which is when I last checked for updates to the webpage), so I will update the information on the article. This, however, does not affect this investigation. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:41, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Based on your update, it sounds like the two users' edits were largely correct. Do you agree?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do now agree. I did not know that they were factually correct until I had filed the report. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 16:00, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
