I've already blocked Ashanti 5 as they were clearly vandalism only. I suspect that the two accounts are related and they may have been set up just to vandalise Wikipedia so I'm requesting CheckUser to see if they are related. 5 albert square (talk) 00:26, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Checkuser comments: I'm going to turn down this one.  Both accounts are making edits using the mobile interface and therefore on highly dynamic IP addresses, so it is very unlikely that checkuser results would be anything more than "possible", and they certainly wouldn't be definitive.  The decision on whether or not the two accounts are socks will have to be based on non-technical evidence.  Risker (talk) 01:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * After reviewing all edits, I come to the conclusion that the evidence of sockpupptery is not sufficient. They made just 6 edits in total, none of which are too similar. Ashanti 5 is indefinitely blocked anyway, so I'm closing this case.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  23:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
