Possible old sock of an already closed CCI inquiry

Hello. I was wondering if you could help me out with this. I was looking at Cair Paravel-Latin School to clean up any copied and pasted sections. My question is whether the edits by Topekahawk in this article are related to JHawk88 based on the timeline of these edits:

  • After JHawk88 added a copyvio on March 29, 2010‎, Topekahawk was the next editor to this article. After you removed JHawk88's copyvio on April 29, 2010‎, Topekahawk was the next editor and had 3 consecutive edits to this article. One of their edits was a copyvio.

I notice that Topkeahawk is not listed in Jhawk88's CCI opened on April 28, 2010. Also, Topkeahawk's copyvio on May 4 2010 happened days after the CCI was opened. There's also not many articles they've both edited on, but I'm wondering since they both have hawk in their username. If they are unrelated, then that's alright with me. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:08, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Just based on timing and the much more narrow focus of their editing, I'm doubtful that it's a sock. Just another fan of the Jayhawks. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:46, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
@VernoWhitney: Okay. Thank you for the reply. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)
