Wikipedia:Precocious editing
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

Precocious editing is the performance of edits with wiki knowledge that appears far beyond that which would be expected from a newbie. When this occurs, it may lead others to believe that the user may have had another account previously or may have one presently, which may or may not be a violation of Wikipedia's sock puppetry guidelines.
