These could be two accounts that were created in June this year by the same paid-editing firm listed at WP:PAIDLIST. One of them was displayed doing test edits in the firm's advert.

I admit this is an usual case since there are no diffs to provide. Apparently neither account has actually saved an edit. I was encouraged to file after seeking consultation on WT:SPI. ☆ Bri (talk) 13:43, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you advised to file this report, but it's the only reason I'm not closing it without action. Bri is correct. This is not socking. I realize we block socks with no contributions but generally only when a CU finds them while looking for sleepers. Can this be closed?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:07, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * It just seemed better to keep everything in one place. I have no objection if you close it. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:28, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
