• User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
• Editor interaction utility

Starting off with the Editor Interaction analysis which provides quite a clear picture. [1] Both users have a common interest in the topic Road signs in Singapore, which for both accounts count for the highest number of edits in their edit history. And broadly, articles of Singapore politicians and judges. Specifically for Singapore politicians, they have a habit of adding/reading the debatable "The Honourable" designation to the various politicians' articles.

Woodysee: [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Woodennature: [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]

From the analysis tool, we can also see that the time difference between edits are all very close to each other when they work on same articles.

Timing-wise, their activities have been relatively quiet until April 29, when both accounts started editing a high number of articles at a decently fast rate (assuming its manual), mostly to add "The Honourable" prefixes to articles of Singaporean politicians.

And lastly and obviously, the name of both accounts Woodysee and Woodennature. Or is this some tagteam effort?Zhanzhao (talk) 01:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC) Zhanzhao (talk) 01:35, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Update: Per Berean Hunter's suggestion, I have asked the editors in their individual talk pages if they are related to each other.[24][25] Zhanzhao (talk) 23:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Zhanzhao, I suggest that you ask them if this is an alt account or for them to otherwise explain the relation between the two accounts. That would help us decide on how to proceed here.
