Long dormant sock who has returned after a long absence since the maste has been blocked. Both the master that this sock have a fixation on deceased female children and Dr. Who,.

Sock has returned after 15 years to edit the Samantha Smith article, which the master has also worked on. Discussion on the master's talkpage indicates he has been socking in recent months. OrgoneBox (talk) 19:09, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks. (n.b. Pbmelville is actually older than PAustin4thApril1980, but the latter account was much more active, so I'm not going to move the case. Note that PAustin4thApril1980 was previously named Paul Melville Austin).: are you confident about Luokehao? The behaviour looks very different (they consistently use edit summaries, while PAustin4thApril1980's accounts don't, and there doesn't seem to be any overlap in interests).

 * Speaking of account renames, there's also and  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:57, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
