This account also looks suspicious - created yesterday after Silencio x was blocked. Their initial edits are autoconfirmed gaming and they've returned to this discussion Silencio x posted in and this article that Silencio x created. SmartSE (talk) 14:03, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The confirmed sock of Lewishhh, Silencio x was banned at 08:04, 19 November 2025. Thisawful was created at 20:58, 19 November 2025, with an immediate edit into UK politics at Talk:Reform UK, a fave of Lewishhh, [3] (including several sources). Followed up by this edit [4] at Patriot Alternative, with the Lewishhh style of heavy sourcing and referencing a another page fave, 2025 British anti-immigration protests.

Then follows 17 innocuous edits on non-British topics which are all either "Link suggestions feature: links added" or spelling, correcting 'attendence' to 'attendance' in several articles.

Then back to British politics with big edits, this one [5] and this one [6] which both support Silencio x's edit here, [7].

Then Thisawful made these edits, [8], correcting information on a page created by Silencio x at 12:20, 13 November 2025, which has only three other editors, none of which edited it more than once. Halbared (talk) 14:43, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
