The behavioral evidence is that both of these accounts are working on nothing but an article about Satchidananda Panda, same quacking, same feathers, and the second account removed the speedy deletion tag because it is not permitted for the creator to remove the speedy deletion tag. I am requesting CheckUser, but the behavioral evidence may be too obvious to need Checkuser. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:49, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Subsequent editing of the article in question indicates that it may be part of a class project, which may explain the behavior. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:33, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * This has been confirmed to be an educational assignment for which the students were inadequately briefed but were editing in good faith. Please close or cancel the sockpuppet report.  (I will let the education coordinators know that another risk of inadequately prepared educational assignments is that if they all work on the same page and don't know what they are doing, it may look like sockpuppetry.)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * - Ahhh... a class project . Note also . I'm placing this for the attention of a clerk, admin, or CU better-versed in dealing with these sorts of situations. Thanks, GABgab 03:06, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Closing as per above request. GABgab 01:56, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
