The same type and target of edits, football related articles, mainly Dutch. IP tracer returns the same location and ISP. Oleola (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Can you please provide diffs to highlight the similarities?
 * 2) If they are the same, do the problems that led to the block persist? The IPs are dynamic, so enforcing the block would likely prevent some constructive editors from editing as well. Is it worth it?
 * Strike the first, I've found some. Next time please do provide diffs though: You have looked at the accounts, it's easy for you to make the case, and unnecessarily hard for third parties to start the investigation from scratch. Amalthea  16:29, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know the exact reasons for his block, but the fact is that he is exceptionally uncivil, it seems that uncivility is the reason of last block. Anyway you don't have to worry that block would prevent other editors from editing, because IP from this ISP is changing very rarely, you can see on polish wikipedia(he is also blocked there), that he used previous IP at least since August 2010 until March 2012. If you have any doubts that this is the same user, please check this comparison.--Oleola (talk) 17:56, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Seriously, diffs! :) When you say that he's exceptionally uncivil you need to show that with a diff. His last 200 edits were IPA changes, that's not particularly problematic. Links to contributions aren't that helpful either, I followed them but at a glance did not see what you were trying to show me. Amalthea  18:32, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * There you go, some examples of his civility or his recent message to polish wikipedia admin, you must translate yourself this one. Also you can see many personal attack warnings on his talk page, but it seems that his comments on User talk:Mais oui! were deleted or hidden so were definitely not a civil one.--Oleola (talk) 19:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The problematic diffs are either not on enWP or made before his block here. I'm open to other opinions, and strictly speaking the IP certainly seems to be evading the block, but I wouldn't block the new IP at this point since the behavior that led to the block has not been repeated. It may be necessary in the future, and I certainly wouldn't be so forgiving again, but I'd consider this a second chance. Amalthea  17:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
