Suspected sockpuppets

As those two diffs show, the editing habits of the sockpuppet and the first account are very similar. They spam numbers all over the place, and disguise their actions using innocuous edit summaries (e. g. "Added"). I reported Adolid to AIV (not Jeffthero because he or she has only made two edits). Assuming my suspicions of sock puppetry are accurate, this user has been extraordinarly crafty and devious, because he or she managed to switch accounts before getting blocked on their first account. And there are probably more accounts out there, which is why I'm requesting CheckUser.

If any of you see another user or two spamming numbers, please report here. TitanSymphony (talk) 22:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

 * the way to change the status is by editing the line which reads  to  . I've done it for you. Except for changing the status to checkuser-requested, you should not edit that line. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:16, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Just a note: the first account was created roughly an hour before the second (which is now blocked, courtesy ping ), and edits do not overlap. It looks like a school to me, probably, and probably not deliberate sockpuppetry. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:18, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * - This just looks like run-of-the-mill vandalism by two different editors. Please report vandals to WP:AIV after reverting and warning them sufficiently. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:18, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
