Arri_at_Suburban_Express (talk) was recently blocked from editing Wikipedia for harassing editors, and he is now using the sockpuppet 174.153.178.143 to evade his block.

174.153.178.143 has made questionable edits to the Wikipedia page about Dennis Toeppen. He has attempted to whitewash negative information about himself and his company, Suburban Express.

Also, I have traced the following list of sockpuppet IPs back to the same location as 174.146.20.167 using traceroute, and they show a similar pattern of making questionable edits.

 * Note: 184.243.255.51 has zero contributions and 184.234.38.52's editing style is different, so I'm confident that these IPs are unrelated. Currently the user is editing from one range (174.144.0.0/12) and 67.223.120.212. The former is a Sprint wireless network, which has way too much traffic to perform a range block. The latter IP could be blocked, but give the contributions on the range I believe it's shared with an different individual. Since it's also the lesser used address, blocking it wouldn't be the best solution. To address this, I've semi-protected the affected articles for 1 month. If the issue persists when the protection expires, feel free to make a request at RFPP. Mike V  •  Talk  20:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
