Same edit after a block. Just want to check if this is sock or meat. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * They are also obviously editing logged out, I've added the IP to this report. Edit include reinserting a picture with the exact same caption  and re-adding almost identical content using the exact same amazon and ia600303 websites as sources  . 86.23.109.101 (talk) 15:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Now active from . and  have pblocked them from several articles but they have responded by disrupting other articles (eg,, ) and attacking involved editors (eg, ). Abecedare (talk) 13:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Abecedare I don't think that IP is the same person as Afv12e.
 * Firstly that IP geolocates to the opposite side of the planet to 2600:4040:4521:900:0:0:0:0/64 which has obviously been used by Afv12e to reinsert their reverted edits.
 * Secondly I can't see any overlap with the articles or topics Afv12e was editing.
 * Thirdly the kind of POV pushing from that IP seems to be a different flavour than the POV pushinig from Afv12e: Afv12e was pro-hinduvata, pro-BJP, pro-modi, Indian nationalist "India is best, India #1" type disruption, whereas that IP seems to be primarily religious "Vishnu is father of everything" type POV pushing.
 * Finally the style of writing from that IP seems to be very different from Afv12e, for example I don't recall seeing Afv12e insert random "lol"s or emojis into the middle of their messages, as the IP did here . 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course, you're right. I mixed up Afv12e and . Oops and thanks. Abecedare (talk) 14:10, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Reinserting almost the exact same edit into Narayana Guru,. The IP claims to have added reliable sources to an edit made by an earlier editor (i.e. Afv12e), but they have actually used the exact same sources as Afv12e. IP geolocation is almost identical to the earlier IP they used (this one is from Washington DC, the earlier one is from just outside Washington DC.) 86.23.109.101 (talk) 09:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
