brought to my attention that SirLou was working on some drafts created by PixtonRran and also he registered his account right after PixtonRran was blocked. On top of this, their editing patterns are very similar, focusing on a cluster of pop culture topics and virtually no usage of edit summaries or talk pages (although that is hardly unique). signed,Rosguill talk 04:54, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * CU since PixtonRran is almost certainly stale by now. On the behavioral evidence:
 * We're starting with a strong likelihood of sockpuppetry based on jumping into multiple of PR's drafts.
 * Similar timecards, both almost perfectly on eight-hour schedules.
 * According to the EIA, almost a third ($80/256$) of the pages that SirLou has edited, PixtonRran also edited.
 * And here's the telltale detail that pushes me over the edge: SirLou's first talkpage edit was to request splitting of a character list at WandaVision. Then the next one, then supporting such a request by PR, then another request of their own, etc. PR made two other such request . All with similar wording.
