DE warnings to Talophex's Talk

Specific transition timeline:
 * 19:54, 7 September 2018 - Talophex restores that content with edit summary of "Restored citation to NCAA football championship listing, further removals will be reported as disruptive editing"
 * 19:59, 7 September 2018 - Talophex parrots the disruptive editing text posted to their Talk onto my User page without a signature, then goes dormant "User warned of disruptive editing pursuant to Wikipedia guidelines"
 * 20:04, 7 September 2018 - 5 minutes later, Paraneoplastic awakes from being dormant (created on 29 January 2018) to make its very first edit
 * Paraneoplastic's 2nd and 6th edits contain well-formed citations which are uncommon behaviors of truly new editors, implying a degree of familiarity
 * 06:30, 8 September 2018 - Paraneoplastic's 11th and final edit before going dormant restores Talophex's content with the similar and very specific edit summary "Manual reversion of disruptive edit by user:UW Dawgs, citation of official NCAA website is relevant to discussion."

There is a clear timeline transition between the two accounts, with the second dormant account being used to suport the first account's DE which has plagued this article. WP:DUCK. While both accounts have tiny edit counts, they are both active in WWII-era history and Asia-related articles. UW Dawgs (talk) 18:39, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
