 * The IP made only two contributions two days ago, to an article that has since been deleted, University of Sheffield halls of residence. This article was indeed created by Vista15, and the IP and Vista were the only editors to that page other than the user who was trying to get it deleted. Viva2015 has also very recently edited on the same topic (at University of Sheffield accommodation and University of Sheffield student housing). So the connection is likely, and indeed Vista15's and Viva2015's user pages indicate they were blocked on March 26 after a checkuser confirmed one was a sock of the other (but apparently without a formal SPI?). The IP was also blocked, shortly before this SPI was filed. So with no more unblocked socks and checkuser declined (or possibly already done) I think this can now be closed. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:23, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
