Evidence submitted by Letdorf
User at IP address 82.1.229.0 has been blocked for vandalism for the second time on June 18. Within two hours of the latest block, a user at IP 82.27.167.115 (which is allocated to the same ISP) started editing the same articles or ones on similar topics in a very similar way. Seems like a fairly obvious case of block evasion. Letdorf (talk) 12:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC).

No chance of a range block, but may be worth blocking the latest IP. SpitfireTally-ho! 12:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

User at IP address 82.1.229.0 was blocked (for two weeks) for the second time for vandalism on June 18. Within two hours of the block, a user at IP 82.27.167.115 (which is allocated to the same ISP) started editing the same articles or ones on similar topics in a very similar way. This address was also blocked for two weeks on 23 June. It now appears another attempt at block evasion has started on 28 June from IP 86.30.217.115 (again, same articles, same ISP).

persistent block evasion (previous block was for Block evasion: Sockpuppet investigations/82.1.229.0) and disruptive editing (removal of content without explanation, addition of content without verifiable reliable sources, and unwillingness to respond on any talk page), consistent with previously reported activity  —  Jeff G.  ツ  02:10, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, pretty sure it's the same user. Whoever it is just doesn't seem to "get it" regarding RS, verifiability, NPOV etc. and just switches IP addresses and carries on regardless, despite many warnings from other users. Letdorf (talk) 13:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC).


 * I haven't seen this user in action before (too young, I am!), but the user's "style" and prolific posting should make him/her easy to identify in the future. I reckon it's just some stupid kid who doesn't even realize that there are talk pages and such - should still be blocked before he/she ruins every single page relating to any car ever sold in the UK.

 * There isn't much more to say except that they are owned by the same operator, and based on content which moved from one IP to the next when the first is blocked, this is . -- John Vandenberg (chat) 13:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Blocked for two weeks, following on from one week block by Muzemike for the same thing. Marking for close. TN X Man  19:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

The IP hasn't edited in 8 days. Sock or not, no action taken. –MuZemike 21:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
