I have a question.
I thought Halifax was range blocked, and proxies unusable.
So, how could JRR or LT edit ?

It's pretty simple really, using the old saw:
1) They look like a duck. Check, derivative usernames (Entmoots of
Trolls, JRR Trollkien, Leo Trollstoy)
2) They walk like a duck. Check, editing mostly the same articles as the
banned user did.
3) They quack like a duck. Check, the edits made to the above-mentioned
articles are virtually the same as those made by the banned user.
Even with all three of these being the case, it is hypothetically
possible that they are not, indeed, a reincarnation of the banned user.
However I think it is overkill to go to their house, knock on their door
and ask "Hey, are you [banned user]?" Assuming that the banned user was
banned for their behavior, it makes sense that a new account displaying
the same behavior should also be banned.
