They begin editing right after the other one. I find it strange they would write the exact same sentence in their sandbox. d.g. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  12:20, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

1 minute apart: This is my sandbox then Bell writes This is my sandbox with a ref tag. In and of itself, the phrase "this is my sandbox" is allright, but what are the chances of 2 new users writing the exact same thing right after each other? Mello was already in trouble for vandalism, and it looks like he discovered the UP and sandbox nearly at the same time. Then along comes brand new user Bell and starts a userspace sandbox with duplicate text. A wiki search shows that new users normally accompany the statement with other text. d.g. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  14:23, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I don't see any similarity between these two users. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure where, but the most likely explanation is that some page is redirecting new users to the sandbox with "This is my sandbox" filled in. Moreover, I see no evidence of any wrongdoing, coordination, or similar editing patterns across accounts, so even if this is multiple accounts, I don't think it's illegitimate use of multiple accounts.
