Why did you remove it? Am I not a"nother user"? --217.149.166.11 (talk) 23:56, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

I repeat my comments removed by Bb223 for no reason: Hello. Can someone (not Grandmaster) explain to me what is a sockpuppet and who is Classic Yogurt? All I want is a non NPOV editing standard on Turkish genocide denial. I do not understand what this is now?--217.149.166.11 (talk) 23:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

what? it says no Personal attacks. And I am just interested in place names too. Also user's history says they were banned months ago. Can someone pls fill me in on these? (Not Beshogur. They are POV)217.149.166.11 (talk) 12:00, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This ip user suddenly popped up on 17 december after BaxçeyeReş was banned 5 days before, doing similar edits. Beshogur (talk) 11:39, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Then also, I could report Beshogur and Grandmaster. They both accused me and edit in Azerbaijan topic area. Similar edits at similar times! Gotcha, right?217.149.166.11 (talk) 12:06, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't know if 217.149.166.11 is ClassicYoghurt or not, but I do note that they are at least engaging in some discussion with their fellow editors at WP:ANI, so that's a positive step.  It sounds like this might be a spillover from trwiki.  I'm going to WP:AGF and close this SPI. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:54, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Nothing more to do here. IP was blocked for two months. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 19:38, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Noting for the record: I don't think this is CY. is in Austria, and we know that CY was at Occidental College in California as recently as 29 November. Which means that this edit, likely made by the same person on the /20 who's been causing the trouble, was made while CY was almost certainly still in California. And someone's been editing from within this topic area from that /20 dating back to 2016. Still, perhaps CY splits time between the two places, and the October Ottoman edit was someone else. Going to hold off for now on splitting this, but if someone pops up again out of California, we probably should split.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 02:01, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

New IP user's first edits are removing Azerbaijani names, translations (diff, diff) and attacking users who report him (diff). Very similar behaviour to ClassicYoghurt's alt accounts. — Golden  call me maybe? 21:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry to bother, but since you've previously been active on this user's SPIs, could you take a look? This IP has been allowed to roam Wikipedia doing disruptive edits for almost a week now. — Golden  call me maybe? 08:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The technicals are largely inconsistent with everything I've seen to date... and that leans more towards 'inconclusive' than 'unrelated'. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Then it's likely a sock of Əzərbəyəniləri and not ClassicYoghurt. Both sockpuppeteers editing patterns are extremely similar, so it's easy to mix them up. They also restored edits by Əzərbəyəniləri's alt few minutes ago (diff). Could this be moved to appropriate SPI page? — Golden  call me maybe? 15:28, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing any particular reason to think this is Əzərbəyəniləri vs ClassicYoghurt. The IP is blocked for 2 weeks, so there's no rush to do anything.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:29, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Per my comments in the archive about 217.149.xxx.xxx, I think this is neither CY nor Əzərbəyəniləri. I'm going to split this case off. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:39, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Blocked outside of SPI., next time just go to WP:AIV in cases like this, SPI is slow and this is an obvious case. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:20, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
