 * Comparing the dewiki behavior of and, with the "Likely" above and the more detailed technical insights from the dewiki CU result in mind, seems to justify the existing block and a sockpuppet tag. Specifically, the initial mass editing of inline citations ("Einzelnachweis(e) besser formatiert" edit summaries of PF75172, "Bot Meldung erledigt" edit summaries of MalDabei) in a wiki that automatically assigns pending change reviewer permissions to users according to open, edit-count based criteria (de:WP:Sichter) is interesting.
