 * Account Papermoneyisjustpaper shows prior experience, not new to Wikipedia
 * 1) 1st edit ever to Wikipedia is to create an article from scratch, with proper formatting, diff
 * 2) 4th edit to Wikipedia is to add a chunk of material to another article, diff
 * 3) Sets up userpage with a one-line-creation initially, ostensibly to make userpage turn from redlink to blue, diff
 * 4) Commenting at AFDs shortly after account creation, diff


 * Papermoneyisjustpaper likely sock of master account Sherurcij
 * 1) Checkusers, please check this possible sock against master account,
 * 2) Sherurcij lasted edits with its main account, in May 2010, diff
 * 3) I consulted with user Iqinn on this, and he gave some very helpful details, stating: "Sherurcij is only indirect related to Geo Swan. :) They worked very closely together on Guantanamo (war on terror) related articles for many years. He was also in my opinion one reason why this section is a mess and cleaning up and improving was is almost impossible. He participated in most of the Guantanamo related Afd's until he stopped editing around May 2010. 98% chance that Papermoneyisjustpaper and Sherurcij are the same person. Too many details in the way the writing and argumentation went in the 5 recent Guantanamo related Afd's where he suddenly appeared. Not hard to spot for me as i have seen many of them in the past."
 * 4) I was not as familiar as Iqinn with the connection between Sherurcij and Geo Swan, and so Sherurcij showing up at AFDs on articles previously created by Geo Swan (using a sock account), would make sense in this context.
 * 5) Please note: Prior block log of Sherurcij = includes disruptive editing, and creation of hoax article.
 * 1) Please note: Prior block log of Sherurcij = includes disruptive editing, and creation of hoax article.


 * Papermoneyisjustpaper returns to article previously edited by Sherurcij
 * 1) At page Vanguards of Conquest, an article initially created by Sherurcij, diff
 * 2) Sherurcij returned to the page in February 2010, to revert another editor, diff
 * 3) Papermoneyisjustpaper edits the page shortly after creation of the new possible sock account, to add a chunk of material, diff


 * Papermoneyisjustpaper shows similar behavior to Sherurcij, showing up at AFDs on articles created by Geo Swan
 * 1) Papermoneyisjustpaper account has so far commented at 4 AFDs. 100 percent of these AFDs are on articles previously created by Geo Swan:
 * 2) Muhamad Naji Subhi Al Juhani = created by Geo Swan, diff, comment at AFD by Papermoneyisjustpaper, diff.
 * 3) Karabakh camp = created by Geo Swan, diff, comment at AFD by Papermoneyisjustpaper, diff.

 * Thank you, for the ✅ results. I would request the reviewing admin to block the above confirmed sock accounts, and make a ruling on the main account based on behavioral evidence including for example the above comparison with  diff followed by diff.
