No doubt about this. Editing is solidly concentrated on areas previously edited by known Annabananaxii accounts, particularly, but not only, re-creating deleted pages created by them. Also using the trick of creating a redirect and then using one of a number of single purpose IP addresses to turn it into an article, thus preventing the editing history from looking as though there has been only one editor, and preventing their account from showing as restoring deleted content. (That trick seems to have become very common recently, or has it always been common and I've only just noticed?) I have blocked the account, and 49.144.99.222, 123.253.49.159, & 123.253.49.29. I was also going to block 126.205.212.238, but I found that the range 126.205.0.0/16 is already globally blocked because of LTA. JBW (talk) 20:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Endorsed by a checkuser - I need a second set of eyes on this -- Amanda (she/her) 03:29, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP: Seems (very) likely to me technically, and the editing pattern also looks to be a solid match. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Solely on a technical basis, Nihongo Maria appears Likely to Perfume Of The Sun. Combine that with behavior as you will.
