09 June 2024[edit]

– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets[edit]

The reported IPs have recently made similar or identical changes to those previously made by User:Zigali and their sockpuppet User:Beretta Strike; likewise, demonstrating the same ignorance of MOS:DIGITS that was presented in the previous report, on 20 January 2024 (here). You may check EIA for more details, but as examples, compare:

I believe that a range block, of let's say 31.22.48.0/20, might be in order. Girth, if time permits, can you please investigate this, since it was you who dealt with the previous report. Demetrios1993 (talk) 19:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I agree Izno. These IPs appear to be part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses. I am leaning more towards a range block instead of semi-protecting a number of articles. The {{IP range calculator}} produces the following results, which support my prior suggestion for the range of 31.22.48.0/20; even with the additional IPs that are included, which appear to be connected:

  • The one IP is old and now accidentally blocked (sigh). Blocked the other. Closing. Izno (talk) 16:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, I'm going to reopen. 1) I didn't see the comment about the wider range block, and 2) it might be needed since another IP in the same range showed up shortly after those blocks. The wider block might be necessary, or we can try semi-protection for the worst of the articles. I'm not a great gauge of range blocks though. Izno (talk) 23:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
