The brand new account Simonvino made this edit at False accusation of rape, restoring an edit by User:Iwog which they had tried to edit-war into the article previously (they eventually had to revert their own edit to save themselves being blocked for 3RR). They restored it after being reverted as well, at which point I blocked them on the basis that they were obviously either a sock (or meatpuppet) - or possibly an Nsmutte-type false flag account. However, they immediately posted an unblock request ... followed by this very interesting comment, which they immediately reverted. Now ... " I make a good faith effort to reach out and have a serious discussion about the article on its talk page" and "at the ANI I was dragged into by agenda-driven editors" both suggest only a few possibilites - either Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 23:12, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * (1) this is Iwog (this is the ANI section referred to)
 * (2) it is, as they're claiming on their talkpage, an editor who previously edited as an IP - the problem here is that no IP is referred to at the ANI, and only two IPs have commented at the talkpage recently, neither of which appears to match (one - 2.247.242.145 - suggested that Iwog was a sock themselves, and the other - 166.70.63.4 - was suggesting a POV diametrically opposed to Iwog's)
 * (3) it's a very clever Nsmutte-type false flag. Either way, a checkuser will clear it up.
