The two socks are obvious to each other, based on username and overlapping history of promotional edits to Tanzanian Private Equity Association. SunshineSkeletor created the promotional article EthicalQuote, which is almost the only other topic Moonlightx75 has edited. The link between sunshine and moonlight is also something, maybe.

The activity is promotional (such as this article created by Sunshine about a Tanzanian political/religious leader) and Sunshine was only active for a couple days in August, which suggests this might be part of a commercial farm, so a checkuser seem appropriate.

 * The editing patterns of the four following accounts:
 * Across the articles EthicalQuote, Socially responsible investing, Tanzanian Private Equity Association, (along with the username similarities between the middle two) convince me that these are socks (or at the very least coordinated meatpuppets, which should be treated the same). Thus, all four accounts . Additionally, these IPs:, , , , which have edited the same topics and all return to the same Tanzanian ISP, are likely to have been used by the same user(s). None of these have been used in the past 15 days, so no blocks for now, but if there are continued edits in violation of policy from this range, then a narrow rangeblock might be justified. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  18:01, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
