Zopyros wrote FrankEM's user page, and apparently forgot to switch accounts for this edit.

AlF6Na3 answers as if they were Zopyros on the latter's talk page in this edit.

At Talk:Dissociative identity disorder, I noted that Dumb daisy is likely, previously known as Tylas. Dumb daisy did not deny being that editor. I also noted the "likely Tylas" aspect in a WP:ANI case against Dumb daisy. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:29, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

If they are two different people, it certainly doesn't take away from their similar editing and arguments with regard to dissociative identity disorder. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:32, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

As noted in the SPI archive of this case, it is likely that FrankEM is the same as User:Tylas, who at the time vanished to. Tylas has now become active once again, creating a sandbox with a copy of Dissociative identity disorder, the subject on which FrankEM's and their socks' disruptive editing got them blocked.--Atlan (talk) 08:53, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

See my statement here. I noticed this latest WP:SPI case when I was almost done typing up that post on the Tylas talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 12:37, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅:
 * I've blocked the two accounts + the vanished account without tags. I'm puzzled by the fact that the Tylas account still existed even though it was renamed. It's possible that the account was recreated but then not used until now, but it's not clear to me. can you illuminate this for me? Thanks. Meanwhile, I've put the case on hold.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:15, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. The rename was a local rename before global rename was possible. Such a rename changed the name of the enwiki account (and therefore detached it from the global account). However, it did not delete the global account, which continued to exist with the old name. If the user logged into enwiki with their old username and password (e.g. because they didn't know the rename request had been actioned), the effect would be to recreate the enwiki account. In this case, it looks like that is what happened - the rename occurred at 18:59, 17 February 2013, and the recreation of the enwiki account occurred at 19:26, 17 February 2013.

 * Wow, 27 minutes later, they didn't waste any time. Thanks, .--Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Technically, the original Tylas account is older than FrankEM (same year, 2006, but earlier in the year). I don't see the point of changing the name of the master at this point, but I'll wait for a clerk to make that determination. If the clerk wishes to move this to Tylas as the master, then everything should be tagged and retagged accordingly. If not, the accounts I just blocked should be tagged with FrankEM as the master.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Since they are all blocked, no reason to move the case. I tagged them as socks of FrankEM, and I'm closing this.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
