IP's just made this edit (which is replacing an image with A1999s one and is what A1999 got blocked for),

Apologies in advance if CU isn't needed here - Wasn't sure if it was needed or not,Thanks – Davey 2010 Talk 15:12, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

It's not just that a CU "isn't needed". Running such a check would be a violation of policy. In the future, please don't request a CU when you are comparing an IP to a named account. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:07, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Same as before - changing Vauxhall Astra images to ones of their own, They'd used an IP before this one which was and still is rangeblocked for 3 months so the same may need to be applied here (I can email the IP over if needed), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 20:42, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Blocked the IP for 3 months (probably pointless). Also semi-protected Vauxhall Astra (probably more useful).  -- RoySmith (talk) 21:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Same edits as before - replacing images with his own poor quality ones, I've left CU unticked as feel it's blatantly obvious but anyone's welcome to CU if they want no objections here, Thanks – Davey 2010 Talk 16:40, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I've added the IP who originally reverted me (and reinstated the socks vandalising edits), Obviously CU cannot be performed on IPs so CU for that should be ignored, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 09:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

 * ZafiraBeno1999 has since been blocked as I got fed up reverting them so reported them at AIV, Not sure if the block log would need to be changed to reflect this SPI, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 00:55, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Agreed, we saw that behavior from ZafiraBeno1999 before (though even if this weren't a sock I would block for disruptive editing). Blocked the IP for a week. GeneralNotability (talk) 12:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

IP is vandalising various Vauxhall articles - Astra1999 had an obsession with Vauxhall vehicles and I assume because various accounts of his have been blocked he's now resorting to vandalising Vauxhall-related articles, Ofcourse this could be a completely different person however given the fixation with Vauxhall I'd say this is more than likely him, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 17:13, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - it's definitely him, the nonsensical Vauxhall vandalism is mixed in with other Lift/Elevator-themed vandalism edits. Blocked for 1 month for block evasion, think that's all that needs to be done here. ~  mazca  talk 18:08, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
