Similar pattern of edits to the recently blocked Foghy and Knklstk, edit warring, indirect personal attacks in the edit summaries. Accusations of bad writing, poor English and such. This one started editing on 3 March, shortly after the other two got blocked on 1 March. The edit summaries of this user show a clear pattern and a clear connection to the other two. The similarity of the nonsense word username isn't exactly hard to see either.
The behavioural evidence seems to confirm the connection well enough for a block, but running Checkuser seems likely to turn up sleepers. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 12:26, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- A brief scan through their contributions page says far more than I could ever type here. Also, wikilinked edit summaries to fairly advanced targets at just a couple of days in clearly suggest that they aren't new here. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 12:45, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

- This report is absurd.
- My username is not a nonsense word.
- I haven't "accused" anyone of anything. I have pointed out poor English when that was the reason for my edit.
- I have not made any indirect personal attacks
- This user who is reporting me seemed to want to start an edit war; I did not.
- If you think that any of my edits did not improve the article, please point them out. Lognomm (talk) 12:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- "This report is absurd" - No response to this, no valid point raised.
- being accused of sockpuppetry, as a result of making only improvements to articles, is absurd.
- "My username is not a nonsense word" - In that case, define or explain 'Lognomm'. If you can't, then it is a nonsense word, like "Knklstk".
- I'd be glad to explain it to anyone who asks politely. That means, anyone except you. Even if you somehow find my username more nonsensical than your own, what does that have to do with anything at all?
- "I haven't "accused" anyone of anything. I have pointed out poor English when that was the reason for my edit." - [1]
- I did not point out poor English in that edit. What are you highlighting it for?
- "I have not made any indirect personal attacks" - [2]
- I addressed my comments specifically to the person whose changes I was undoing. Many other users have addressed very similar comments specifically to that person. nothing was "indirect"; nothing was a personal attack.
- "This user who is reporting me seemed to want to start an edit war; I did not" - Says the editor who has reverted three times by this point. Once reverting another user, and twice reverting me.
- You were clearly spoiling for a fight, as further shown by your efforts here to get me blocked.
- "If you think that any of my edits did not improve the article, please point them out." - This is irrelevant. The edits may have been improvements mostly, (except the one I had taken issue with) but this is almost certainly the community banned LTA WP:BKFIP, whose edits are, characteristically, mostly improvements. However, their manner of doing so is the real issue. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 13:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
