Suspected sockpuppets

I admittedly have very little evidence. Both Annaloveshungergames27 and Sinister6889 are very new users, and Annaloveshungergames27 stopped editing a few days ago. However, I can already see similar behavior to Annaloveshungergames27, specifically in this edit. Also notice that both users have only done mobile-type edits. Annaloveshungergames27 was warned several times about disruptive editing, specifically on talk pages. Given the rather limited evidence (I'd rather not wait for the possible sock to do more damage.), I am requesting CheckUser to confirm whether this is a sock or not. I believe CheckUser should be used because they both seem to have similar editing styles, but one account has not made enough edits to confirm my suspicions enough to block the sock. More evidence is required for such an action. I've chosen not to notify the users so they don't have time to move to another account. Gestrid (talk) 06:51, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

I apologize, I meant to mark Annaloveshungergames27 as the sockmaster and the other one as the sockpuppet. -- Gestrid (talk) 06:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
- thank you for the report, but this falls well short of actionable. As you stated, there is little evidence that these two accounts are operated by the same user, and even if they are, there's no indication that they're violating the multiple accounts policy. Annaloveshungergames27 may be inappropriately using talk pages as forums and they've been warned about it, but in my opinion Sinister6889 is simply a new user who happened to comment on the talk page of a topic which is very popular at the moment. Closing with no action. Ivanvector 🍁  (talk) 01:51, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
