In 2012, User:Cutajarc added his personal website as a link to several articles, using his account and a series of IP addresses. (Diffs can be provided, but they're stale now) More recently, he has done so to considerably more articles (see Special:Contributions/Cutajarc), but all additions were reverted by various editors, and a centralised discussion at WP:AWNB ensued. The discussion stalled a week ago, with the last comment being made by 149.135.147.89. Yesterday (Australian time) a series of similar IPs restored some of the links. The timing of the edits indicates that the person making the edits was editing from multiple devices at once. 149.135.147.6 edited at 12:48 local time, and then again at 13:00 local, but between these edits 149.135.147.2, 149.135.147.44 and 149.135.147.24 made the same edit. 149.135.147.48 edited later in the day. Most of the edits were reverted, and further discussion was started at AWNB. After reading the post, I started investigating the extent of the new edits and posted a reply. Shortly after that, 58.165.54.159 posted a personal attack, followed by 121.219.187.107 attacking me on my talk page. When I reverted that, 58.165.54.159 attacked. That too was reverted and User:Dom-swag (now indef-blocked) was created to attack me, and another editor who reverted the vandalism on my talk page. 58.165.54.159 then took over the vandalism. His final post, before he was blocked, was to make this post at AWNB, which he starts with "IT'S totally CUTAJARC HERE and I own all those ip's mate". Of course he does continue with "cos I'm part owner of TELSTRA", so the admission does lack credibility. With the blocking of 58.165.54.159, another IP has continued the vandalism. All of the reported IPs belong to Telstra. Checkuser has been requested so as to ensure that there is no collateral damage in the event that a rangeblock is implemented on the 149.135.147.x addresses, and to identify sleepers that Cutajarc has not used yet.

 * - Dom-swag already blocked, otherwise CU cannot connect accounts to IPs. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 21:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not 100% certain the IPs are Cutajarc. However, I have applied a short rangeblock on them for disruptive editing. Closing, Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The previous SPI was indeterminate, with an admin stating that he wasn't sure about the IPs belonging to Cutajarc. However, Cutajarc has now admitted it, saying "those 145. ips where by me and you know why I did it, because our discussion wasnt even finalised and ShiftChange was already taking action". Recent edit history of the 149.135.147.x IPs listed here show that their only recent edits have been to revert a comment by me at Changing username/Simple. All three are from the same pool as 6 of the IPs previously reported so their use by Cutajarc seems clear. 121.214.10.244 is clearly Cutajarc, and is reported here as that IP has previously been used for vandalism and harassment. Cutajarc's history demonstrates that if he is blocked, use of the IP is likely to continue. His recent actions are also the subject of an ANI discussion.

 * This report may now be moot. While completing it Cutajarc has been renamed to User:Allalone89 and blocked for 3 days. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 15:04, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
