this 0m9Ep pair of edits, aside from lack of usefulnesss, shows startling wikicompetence for an editor with 200 edits.

17u9e's edit shows similar name and interest. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 14:45, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

My attention was first attracted by the request for clarification of Sulla's actions. Either the editor "knows" the answer, or it likely doesn't exist. Either way, the clarification being requested doesn't seem a useful addition to the encyclopedia. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 14:47, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Drmies reports that nothing was discovered using CU, and wished that conveyed to the clerk. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 14:53, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Could you provide some more specific diffs which demonstrate these are the same person? I get that they share an interest in a niche topic, and have similar names.  That would be enough for me to endorse for CU, but since you say there's already been a CU which didn't come up with anything, that leaves blocking on behavior alone, and I'm not seeing enough here to do that.  Based on what I see now, I'd issue a uw-agf-sock warning, but not more than that.  If you can provide some more specific evidence, I'll take another look.  Or, we could just do the warning and see where things progress from there. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately not. This editor incarnation seems to have made a point of not using talk pages, which would be my primary ability to compare them (how people write can be fairly distinctive). They walk like a duck and smell like a duck, but I haven't heard them quack. I guess the warning is the right way to go. In the meantime, I'll revert his change to Sulla and see what comes of it.

 * 0m9Ep warned. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
