RevDel reason for "School shooting" article?

While I was browsing the revision history of the School shooting article, I noticed a revision deleted entry. (I like to check revisions sometimes) I tried to figure out why it was revision deleted, but the reason given was RD5. I reviewed the revision deletion policy for this criterion, but could not figure out why the revision was deleted. (Logs: [1])

The criterion additionally says that the underlying reason for deletion should be stated in the RevDel log under the entry. No offense is meant, I'm simply wondering why the revision was deleted. Thanks, EggRoll97 ^(talk) 08:39, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Guess I didn't read the RevDel small print. I reported the deleted edit to the Foundation and further action is in their hands. I could elaborate, but then I'd probably have to revdel my response. Favonian (talk) 08:55, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Of course. I appreciate the quick response. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 13:06, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppet is back

I thought I'd let you know that a suspected sockpuppet Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/G.-M. Cupertino has returned. I don't know how to go through the process, but I noticed you reverted edits from the individual, so I figured I'd notify you. The sockpuppet [2] is making similar edits as before. Here's an example: [3][4] Again, I don't know how to deal with the person, other than reverting the edits, but I'll let you decide on how to open another case, if need be.

@TMF2020: Looks like a sock, but the IP was only active, briefly, 10 days ago, so blocking is most likely futile. Favonian (talk) 09:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
