New user, first edit is to restore profringe edits by Johnbannan. Since Johnbannan is currently blocked, this would be block evasion. MrOllie (talk) 23:40, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged the puppet. Increased the block of the master to indefinite and tagged. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 23:43, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Strangely, is ✅ to  (which is in turn confirmed to ).  (almost certainly not) to . Clerk, please retag as you see fit. Other checkusers, please feel free to double-check my results here. --Yamla (talk) 14:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There is more than just retagging involved because I increased the block length of Johnbannan to indefinite, and if they weren't socking, I need to undo that. Could you possibly check the latest account alleged to be a sock in the section below before I take any action? Frankly, I'm not sure they are connected to John either, but their edits are indeed suspicious. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeap, DH39 is confirmed. --Yamla (talk) 14:09, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I've tagged/retagged Arizbay, Gaping Buhttole, and Anaflaggot. Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Fwiw, the Anaflaggot is almost certainly, who engages in joe jobbing on occasion. --Blablubbs (talk) 23:30, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Certainly Gaping Buhttole and Anaflaggot are precisely the kinds of usernames Architect 134 uses, although I can't see anything suspicious about the username Arizbay (maybe I'm not imaginative enough). If you're right, though, we should either tag them differently or remove the tags entirely. ?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

More promotion of this fringe 'proof' of superdeterminism on a half dozen other articles. MrOllie (talk) 13:47, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

The original account said twice that Physics Essays (a journal with a reputation for indiscriminately printing fringe crankery) is "a peer-reviewed reliable source as stated by Wiki". The new account declares "Wiki says that Physics Essays is a reliable source". XOR&#39;easter (talk) 01:54, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
