Suspected sockpuppets
Block evasion of 112.206.240.0/20 – compare Special:Diff/1169543212 (edit from 122.2.97.31) and Special:Diff/1169357286 (edit from 112.206.241.100).

User talk:122.2.97.31 has same "notes" on top of the talk page (no signature) as does User talk:112.206.253.139.

I had a look through the /19 range behind the 122.2.97.31 address to see if it's just one IP address or an entire range being used by the user, and I did come across other addresses in the range with similar behaviour as 122.2.97.31:
 * Notes also on top of talk page at User talk:122.2.109.93 like with the address above, and was involved in disruption at Toni (talk show): diff.
 * 122.2.102.215 same business on User talk:122.2.102.215, and compare diff 1, diff 2. — AP 499D25  (talk)  03:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Obviously. However now almost 2 weeks since the last edit so a block is unlikely to be useful; closing. May warrant deletion in lieu of archiving. Unfortunately SPI is often backlogged and is focused on accurate investigation rather than speed of response. When it's possible to make a report to AIV, ANI, UAA, or another fast-acting noticeboard (particularly in the case of IP editors), that can often be preferable.
