Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

  • I don't usually run checks like this, but I agree that the user's edits are atypical of a new user and that their claim of having an account "many years ago" doesn't explain things adequately. That said, one-account checks don't frequently produce any usable results, and this one is no exception. I found no other accounts that seemed at all likely. In addition, the user is editing from two different institutions, making their technical data unreliable. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:59, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
