Yeah the IPs listed with the same prefix are probably the same person, but I'm no networking genius. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:15, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, you're welcome to run a proper CU on me and check for browser/IP/whatever it is. I've accidentally edited while logged out and given away my IP before anyway, and it's not something I'm concerned about. PeterTheFourth (talk) 23:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Hmm there is overlap between the two accounts, but given the "political" interest of both editors this isn't all that surprising. And if that's not unusual, then the content of the edits (the reports, talk page comments, etc.) isn't surprising either. But Acousmana has a few specific other interests (which they've spent much more time on) that I don't see reflected in Peter's edits--and since no behavioral evidence is provided (think of lexicon, phrasing, syntax, etc.) I don't have much else to go on besides these overlapping content edits. As for the IP, it would be very surprising (though not impossible, of course) for a relatively seasoned editor to start using IPs in what would be a very blatant and highly visible way. So for now I don't see a good reason to run CU. I would, however, invite any other SPI regular to provide a second opinion, or for to provide further evidence.

 * I agree that the evidence connecting the two named accounts is insufficient. In my view, it is insufficient to even keep this open. .--Bbb23 (talk) 16:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Closing, as I concur with and .  There isn't enough here to check, despite  inviting the CU to be ran.  Courcelles (talk) 20:36, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
