 * Additional evidence
 * IP seems have had followed me to Hindustani language article and made this edit. After being reverted by another user, he continuous to edit war here. After being reverted by the second user me, he leaves this edit summary claiming the first user never made the revert.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 23:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on the evidence of experienced editing and aggressive behavior, I would not rule out a banned user hiding behind that IP, though that's only a possibility.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 23:45, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also attempted to ping the selective group of users he mentions on the talk page .--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 04:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Note that I had preferred to file an RFCU over this as this was an IP and not a registered account, but only learned that RFCU is now archived and this is the only place to file requests for information. I am unsure about who else could be on that range based on the habitual evidence.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 04:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Comments by other users
Dord, the range is what should the cause of concern here, not the individual IPs that are no longer in use, at least for now.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 04:15, 7 July 2017 (UTC) ''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

 * Those aren't sockpuppets, per se, they are mobile dynamic IP addresses, and the user may not even be aware when their address changes. As such, all the addresses above are stale for blocking purposes. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 02:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
