Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts have been removing sourced information from John Nicolson, with the same edit patterns and similar edit summaries. However suspected master account has a edit history that goes back farther than just a new editor. Both accounts made edits on timings that do not overlap.

 * This report is malformed (you deleted several necessary templates). ST47 (talk) 23:02, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Another CU checked these accounts this morning, so I'm not going to run another check. I also don't think the edit summaries are really all that similar? ST47 (talk) 23:04, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I added back in SPIarchive notice – I think that should fix the formatting. Mz7 (talk) 02:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * There's obviously some edit warring going on here, but I'm not convinced it's sockery. The edit comments, while similar, don't sound to me like they're from the same person.  Political figures make for popular pages, especially UK politics around now.  And, it's not terribly surprising if two editors have similar viewpoints, possibly just pushing the party line.  I'm going to close this with no action.  We can always come back later if there's more/better evidence.  -- RoySmith (talk) 23:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
