User created on 2 October 2016, first edit was creation of User:Mr. Nosferatu with text "I am User:Mr. Nosferatu, back from the dead!". By his seventh edit, a few days later, he is suddenly defending Kumioko at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States[1] with impressive knowledge of what happened (from the oft-repeated POV of Kumioko, that is). Editor claims there not to be Kumioko, but that's not the first time he tried that either. Among his so far 20 mainspace edits are three edits to Medal of Honor recipients[2][3][4]. Medal of Honor, together with Wikiproject US, were the main areas of interest for Kumioko. Fram (talk) 14:16, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
@Bbb23: it's no big deal, but a checkuser isn't just for comparison with known older accounts, but also to check for sleeper accounts / other socks. Kumioko (if this is Kumioko of course) has employed many socks, often multiple at the same time, so a checkuser seems useful even when older accounts are stale.
