This appears to be a case of meatpuppetry. The suspected sock returned around two weeks after Redcarpetstage was blocked by Blablubbs. They confirmed hiring a freelancer, Marnie Hawes, to edit Steve Tappin. Now, since Redcarpetstage has been blocked, they want to request the edits they left, effectively continuing Redcarpetstage's work. According to their off-wiki profile, Marnie Hawes is still hired to edit the same article, so it's quite possible that, like with their other clients, they are instructing Fuzzsoth to follow up and act as a proxy for the blocked user.

It should be noted that the suspected sock has disappeared since I filed this SPI. As I mentioned earlier, the same freelancer is still hired, and it seems they are waiting for the outcome of this SPI before resuming their editing activities. GSS ^💬 03:40, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
