Editor interaction utility

http://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=BethNaught+&users=Pigsonthewing&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&allusers=on for one _{the template won't permit me to leave this as a link} Second BethNaught showed up in this discussion , posted right after Andy, and is defending him. Further, both have the same style of speaking / spelling. Andy's from the UK, where the word "Naught" is used be mean "none" or "0", BethNaught doesn't say where she's from, and in fact, indicates that she doesn't declare her gender despite the feminine sounding name, and has a declared secondary account of BethZero which shows an understanding of the meaning of the word "naught". Also note the overlaping edits run the gamut from normal ANI stuff that you'd expect to see, but it also includes obscure stuff like templates (like office Talk), even Arb pages and other templates. In particular one makes a nom, one closes the nom. Feel free to check for yourself! KoshVorlon We are all Kosh 10:37 am, Today (UTC−4) KoshVorlon We are all Kosh 14:37, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@KoshVorlon: While the editor interaction tool is helpful for spotting similar areas of focus, it is not by itself evidence. You'll need to use the tool to look at the diffs it provides and determine if there are similarities. (After all, look at the number of overlaps that you and I have together.) I'll need a number of diffs that strongly support a connection between these two users before I can consider performing a check. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable taking any action against these accounts. Mike V • Talk 16:34, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
