Merged the second report into the first. But while I am not a checkuser, I am pretty certain we don't run CU to connect IPs to named accounts, so this investigation will need to proceed on behaviour alone. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:25, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * - The CheckUser tool cannot be used to link IP addresses and accounts. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 20:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Blocked the /64 for obvious block evasion, I assume she didn't know there was an SPI open also. I agree with the block, FWIW, I found it when I examined the /64 for collateral damage before blocking. I don't think there's anything else to do here. Vanamonde (Talk) 09:49, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Pretty obvious as no one would create a list for Rakul Preet Singh, Draft:List of awards and nominations received by Rakul Preet Singh. Jeraxmoira (talk) 06:12, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Yes, I just came here to file a similar case entry. This sockmaster has created this article under a variety of slightly different names including Notable Works Full List of Rakul Preet Singh, Draft:List of Awards and Nominations received by Rakul Preet Singh, List of awards and nominations received by Rakul Preet Singh, and now List of Awards and nominations received by Rakul Preet Singh and Rakul Preet Singh’s Awards and Nominations which was moved to main space despite a declined AFC review. I don't see a point in salting these page titles as they will just find alternate ways to word the same article subject. There are also some IP accounts that edited the article when it was Draft space but it geolocates to cities in Virginia and in Washington that I frequently see IPs geolocate to so they might be unconnected. Liz Read! Talk! 01:35, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I just tagged that for G4 and G5 since they persist in moving it back to mainspace. I'm not sure that will stick, but otherwise I'll file an AfD if the SPI doesn't resolve quickly enough. Star   Mississippi  02:45, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * also pinging @Ivanvector who blocked at Sockpuppet_investigations/Jha09/Archive and @CNMall41 who seems to have some experience under the actor's article. And yes, my restoration of the speedy tag was technically out of process but there's 0.0000 chance that  isn't also a sock so....  Star   Mississippi  04:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping. I took a look and this is common for these film-related sock farms (move to mainspace after declined AfC), removing deletion tags, etc. The behavior is obviously DUCK but not sure which farm to connect it to (although I think all the farms are the same anyway).--CNMall41 (talk) 06:57, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Duckmather just redirected one of the titles. I think when this closes it should go. No objection to redirect being subsequently re-created and protected but let's not reward edit warring socks. Star   Mississippi  13:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Obvious. Indef'ed. Also, my previous range-block:
 * for evasion expired and they resumed the same pattern as before, so I re-blocked it. DMacks (talk) 16:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Judging both by the editing evidence mention by and other evidence, such as comparing geolocation with that of previous known IP socks, both the listed IP address and 2600:1006:a130:1b91:31a6:5da6:f104:ca2c are obvious, so I will block them. The latter is also in the same /48 range as IP addresses previously used by this person, so I will look at the editing history of that range, and depending on how much (if any) collateral damage looks likely, I will probably settle for either a /48 or a /64 block. JBW (talk) 13:57, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't bother reporting, but in case it helps your research for a range block @JBW is
 * removing warnings received for creating this nonsense.  Star   Mississippi  14:02, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did see that. It turns out that there would be far too much collateral damage from a /48 block, so I've just blocked 2600:1006:a130:1b91::/64. Unfortunately that is likely to mean that the block-evasion may continue in other /64 subranges of the /48 range. ☹️ JBW (talk) 14:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Already blocked. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
