Obvious block evasion is obvious... Similarity in edited pages; near exactly similar edits on List of Brazilian states by area (messing with flags); [1] vs [2]. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:03, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Suspicious new account; goes around restoring the same table from the List of German states by area (which has now been redirected to the main page as it is an entirely unnecessary single-stat duplicate) as the other socks; third edit is to user page claiming that they are a "Wikipedian who is trying to get attention.", ... Not quite as ducky as the other ones and the IP, so requesting CU just to be sure RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:35, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

• This is peak trolling: they've copied my edit summary from elsewhere ([3]) and changed the numbers, except here it doesn't even make sense (because .57 actually does round up...), and this is about something entirely different... It also, however, confirms this is indeed the same person as behind the other accounts. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:05, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
