These three IP's all created incarnations of Draft:Ternio (a blockchain company). Their other contributions are all in the blockchain arena as well. They all geolocate to within a few miles of each other in North Carolina, and the two 24's are both in 24.224.64.0/21.

I'm tempted to block the 68 IP for a long time, but I'm not sure what to do about the 24 guys. 24.224.64.0/21 is a pretty big range, and would have a lot of collateral damage. Suggestions? -- RoySmith (talk) 21:18, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

 * RoySmith - We definitely know that the 24.224.64.242 and 24.224.68.105 are in the same network range per the WHOIS information, which is 24.224.64.0/21. The 24.224.64.242 IP created that draft on 6 November 2018, with the 68.71.166.131 IP doing so on 5 December 2018, and the 24.224.68.105 IP creating the draft page today. The timeline between these creations (other than between November 2018 - December 2018) is almost one year, and the content added is different each time. I guess my question is... is it really necessary to apply any kind of range block and over just this? We haven't heard a peep from them since 2018 (regarding the draft page creation), and they created the same draft twice in just over a month. These IP users have one contribution each. Is there anything I might be missing? Because with what I'm seeing, this seems like small potatoes... :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:42, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm not sure exactly what a CU could do here (unless you're requesting a CU just to get their input and help to answer your question?). You can't expect them to check these IP addresses; with what we have and what I see, we'd be in realm of fishing here...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:46, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with everything you've said, Oshwah. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:26, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I was just looking for other opinions. Which I got :-)  -- RoySmith (talk) 02:52, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
