 * Comments

Neither user is constructive. SSP is a very complicated process that takes a lot of time. This is why there is a backlog. SSP is a process where one tries to deduct that the users are the same person, which is an inexact process. On the other hand, vandalism is unmistakable. Therefore, vandalism determinations should take priority. This is a vandalism case.

Also possible is that two users know each other and are just messing with each other. Their coooperative effort is mainly limited to each other's talk page and not articles. A word of advice to them or taking action based on vandalism is probably better than trying to determine if they are socks. Mrs.EasterBunny (talk) 16:48, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

They could be the same, but the 72 hour vandalism block on the IP has expired, and vandalism has not resumed. Therefore, no further action is required at this time. Jehochman Talk 14:50, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
