It is quite clear that this IP address is being used by Babestress, to the point where the IP has modified Babestress's user page. There is a clear lack of tact. Now that I've looked at it, it is clear that Babestress is using this IP in disputes. As an example, note this attempt to restore a merged page by the IP, subsequently followed by the sockpuppeteer's intervention. Both the IP and the account continue to operate concurrently. This should not be tolerated. It should be an open and shut case. RGloucester — ☎ 20:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Adding images to Iraq War: Babestress 1, 2 IP 3
 * IP is editing Babestress's userpage: 4, 5
 * Updating the injured/killed on Bardo National Museum attack: Babestress 6, 7 IP 8
 * Building upon the same material in Anti-austerity protests in Ireland: IP 9, 10 Babestress: 11, 12
 * Reverting to the same content on Battle of Kramatorsk: IP 13, 14

Given these edits, it appears that the user is editing while logged out to evade scrutiny. I've blocked the account and IP for a week. Mike V • Talk 21:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Babestress was blocked in April, Ridland account was created in May. Recently Ridland edited Babestress's userpage to mark them as "retired" and then edited their own userpage which includes a welcome message addressed to Babestress. Look pretty ducky to me. They have a bunch of pages in common (the IP in the link is the sock who was previously reported here) too and Ridland recently vandalized someone's userpage. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 11:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC) — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 11:10, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Just for information the user has continued to use User:89.101.55.51 to evade the block, I have blocked it again for a month. MilborneOne (talk) 11:37, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Just for the record User:Dogstress which has been blocked by User:Bishonen was also an account used by Babestress. MilborneOne (talk) 11:37, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * This is too obvious for words. The user has the same interests, including current events articles and Dublin-related articles. This is block evasion that flies in the face of Wikipedia. RGloucester  — ☎ 14:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
