Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( originally filed under this user)

IPs now editing since they feel editing while logged out is not a violation of WP:LOUTSOCKing. IP 49.205.113.117 removed COI notice twice from Draft:Syedhwan, most recently here. Other IPs in that range working on the draft include 49.205.113.65, 49.205.112.33, 49.205.115.53, 49.205.114.100 and others. Note this was a creation by now blocked sock User:Anil 2196. IPs also started editing recently created Draft:Hara Mithai Molandhana which was created by user Kirtan1345 (who is also editing Draft:Syedhwan). Clear DUCK in my opinion but hoping a CU can find sleepers and requesting block on IP range 49.205... if found to be disruptive elsewhere in Wikipedia.
 * Note - IP 49.205.112.33 is currently blocked as of April 13, 2024 by for vandalism. CNMall41 (talk) 21:49, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I am not familiar with this sock-drawer. But I actually blocked the whole 49.205.112.0/24 last week, for a month. It was acute simple vandalism (changing BLP details) and also a longer-term disruption related to the two drafts CNMall41 mentioned, which brought my attention to them. They recently have been using 49.205.113.0/24, so I blocked .113 also for a month simply for continuing the .112 disruption. But now I see that they were using .112 and .113 in overlapping timeframes (IPs in that area are known to be highly dynamic). The /24 of .114 and .115 (not just the two specific IPs CNMall41 mentioned) also seem to have been well-abused by this master, but not within the past week or two.

 * this range appears to be 49.205.112.0/22. I don't see much other than spam on it, it would probably be fine to anonblock it for a reasonably long time. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
