 * I think the SPI may not be required. It's just an ip trying to create a normal account. The ip's ultimate edit was much before the user account's first edit. And the user hasn't even tried to hide the fact that he/she is the ip address. So I must strongly suggest hand-holding the ip ad nauseum than an SP investigation. Wifione  Message

 * Checkuser will not connect an IP to an account. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It's obvious these two are the same, but it appears to more be a misguided new user than an attempt at malicious sockpuppetry (the account requested an unblock for the IP, so it clearly wasn't trying to hide). I'm just going to point out to the user that you shouldn't make an account to continue editing while blocked. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Based on the notes here, I'll mark for close. TN X Man  16:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
