Well, assuming you have access to more information than I do, because what has been published is precious flimsy, I'm prepared to take your word for it on JRRT, but what about LT? I see no connection in edits. Mark

I have finally looked at this and the evidence is clear. JRR Trollkien is The Cave Troll is EntmootsofTrolls. There is no reasonable scenario which would result in someone reposting that stuff and calling it a minor edit. I believe, based on that evidence alone, any adminstrator may within Wikipedia policy ban JRR Trollkien as a reincarnation and revert any edit he makes. Or am I going too far?
I still think any user who has "troll" in their name should be summarily banned, after a request to change their name just in case a mistake has been made in choosing a name. However when this kind of edit is made the chance of that is vanishingly small.

I find the idea of a popularity contest to see whether someone is returning user bizarre. In fact, I find the whole idea of returning users bizarre. If the user needs to be banned, ban them on the basis of the edits they make, there is no need to speculate on whether they are returning. If they don't do anything worth banning, so much the better. Don't provoke conflict unless it is necessary
- I think there is a word for that.

Here is JRR Trollkien's first edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Political_dispute&d...
2878571&oldid=2754803
I find it bizarre that you think it is someone besides this previously-banned user who is attempting to "provoke conflict". Even more bizarre than the fact that this user is still posting three months later.
