Both Users have added similar text to Aurora (astronomy). See Diffs and. Both diffs are within 5 minutes of each other and they have a similar edit summary. Appears to be almost certainly the same WP:SPA operating both accounting (vandalizing same section in same manner, with same edit summary). A checkuser could probably confirm this, but since both are vandalism only accounts, an indef block might be more appropriate.  MBisanz  talk 21:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Good points from both reviewers. These are assuredly the same person. One edit each doesn't justify indef, but this was vandalism in each case. Also, you can't indef an IP unless it's a TOR server, etc. It's probably a throw away account too. If I'd come across this as soon as it happened, I'd block 24-48 hours, but as it was 3 days ago, I'm only warning. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 01:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Umm...pardon being the wet blanket here, but each of these accounts have specifically one edit with a single warning on each talk page (You have gone from a basic warning to indefinitely block). To indef block here would be extremely harsh and unwarranted. A simple warning could have sufficed in this case. Give this person a chance to change their ways. After all, this is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. Two edits that violate policy to be followed by (effectively) banishment seems to be overkill. — BQZip01 —  talk 09:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
