Suspected sockpuppets


The accounts seem to be created by IP to add several keep !votes to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Advanced International Translations. Both accounts are clearly used only for voting purposes and share the same base name "Alex", and since they were registered after first delete !vote in discussion and nobody edited neither AfD page (page history) nor the the article itself (page history) since the AfD nomination. Thus I conclude that these accounts belong to the IP in question. Still, as editing style of IP and both accounts is typical of novice editors, I see no way to reliably connect these accounts to IP without WP:CHECKUSER. — Dmitrij D.
