I'm thinking that this IP may be a sock of Sheep 2009. If you look, the IP has made similar edits, plus they've edited Sheep's user page which surely they wouldn't know about really unless they were the blocked user?

Evidence includes:

Requesting Checkuser to be sure and to make sure there are no other accounts. 5 albert square (talk) 00:31, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * CU won't connect an IP to an account - and even if they did, the master here is very stale. Nonetheless, I've blocked the IP for a few days on behavioral grounds. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:54, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Then today TheSimpsonsStuff announced that they are leaving Wikipedia until 20th May:

Which has reminded a few editors of when Sheep 2009 threatened to do the same:

I am requesting CheckUser to see if these accounts are related and also to check for any other socks that I may have missed or may be sleeping. 5 albert square (talk) 21:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * - Way too stale to be of benefit. NativeForeigner Talk 07:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, I would still appreciate another admin's input though as to whether or not they think that they are the same person behaviour wise.--5 albert square (talk) 08:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Totally reasonable, but CU is of extremely limited utility! NativeForeigner Talk 09:46, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Account is indefinitely blocked. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:24, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
