112.198.72.103

Hi,

Could you block 112.198.72.103 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), who is the same user as 112.198.75.124 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) block evading. Thank you. 99.73.145.216 (talk) 00:32, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate the heads-up, but it looks like User:Ad Orientem beat me to it! - Vianello (Talk) 00:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I just noticed that he already blocked them. Thanks, anyway! 99.73.145.216 (talk) 00:34, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

They're back at 112.198.72.63 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Please block for the same duration. Pinging @Ad Orientem: in case if they see this too. 99.73.145.216 (talk) 01:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

This is looking like something that may require a range block, something I try very hard to avoid. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:42, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm thinking you're correct. You've tried, but... - Vianello (Talk) 01:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Arg... I'm working on it. I've only done this twice before. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

OK the range calculator gave me 112.198.72.0/22... That's what I'm going to go with. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on this. - Vianello (Talk) 01:56, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Done. Let's see if this works. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:06, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Here's hopin'! - Vianello (Talk) 02:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Why?

Why do you continually revert my factual edits? You haven't proven that I'm a sock at all, so you're just acting under the assumption that I am a sock, which is not ok. Please either prove that I'm a sock, or stop reverting my edits, as they are factual and correct. 73.81.157.173 (talk) 18:16, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey Vianello, I understand you may be too busy to watch pages, but The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving. is a constant target of the above IP, so you may be able to identify them from there. Actually, some edits today look rather suspicious, with IPs removing the same content with edit summaries like "wrong info". One of the IPs, 187.75.229.36 (talk · contribs), also targeted Music Is the Weapon a month ago, another of this IP's favourite targets. The IPs might be different, but as you already know, they IP-hop. Just notifying you in case there is more blatant sockpuppeting happening there. Ss112 04:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I just put in a request to have this particular user rangeblocked, which was approved for three months. You can read up on it at [[1]]. I'll be taking a look per your suggestion. - Vianello (Talk) 04:12, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey Vianello, just found 208.28.133.202 (talk · contribs), who edited at Melodrama (Lorde album) the other day. The IP was previously blocked, uses the same snarky edit summaries, but was evidently unblocked and used by the above IP-hopper. Edit: They have edited again, this time at Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1.

Gotcha. I might want to refer this to another admin for a look. I'd hate for this to come across like some kind of one-man crusade against an individual user. That said, it looks to me like you're right. It MIGHT be prudent to submit some of this info to a new WP:SPI report for User:PeopleEater143 (see this page).

Andrew Left

Hi, I see you blocked one IP who is making edits on Andrew Left page. There appears to be WP:SOCKING happening from a few IP address on this page. Are you able to help as I can only revert the vandalism. NZ Footballs Conscience^(talk) 00:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Looks like User:Materialscientist already semiprotected the page, so it should be good to go. - Vianello (Talk) 00:49, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Yep just saw that, thank you! NZ Footballs Conscience^(talk) 00:50, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Well hey, thank you! I was concerned I was being too harsh, so I appreciate you being reasonable about it. - Vianello (Talk) 23:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
