User turned up at a contentious "AP2" article and has made only three minor edits since account was created yesterday. However, despite only being a newbie, this editor appears to have a very thorough understanding of guidelines.
 * Diff1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lauren_Southern&diff=prev&oldid=995099653 made immediately after account creation, yet seems to have an experienced editors knowledge of guidelines.
 * Diff2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:24.224.212.90&oldid=995100775 second edit since article creation, again appears to have better knowledge of guidlines than one would expect for an editor whose never even edited a single article.
 * They've made only three edits to date, all to talk pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/CaligulaAlex I may be wrong, but it smells fishy. Bacondrum (talk) 00:45, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

 * This is pretty obviously a throw-away account this user tried to use to try and badger IP editors on the Lauren Southern account. I'm a mostly-inactive long-term Wikipedian who doesn't want to see his old watchlist and who (very occasionally) edits from IP. As such, I was probably the wrong person to attempt this with. But I'd say it certainly smells like a sock. 24.224.212.90 (talk) 12:56, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

 * The fact that an account does not seem like a new user is not enough to act on. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:19, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
