Edits on mathematical subjects, particularly Divisibility rule and its talk page, and user pages particularly and his talk page. Frequently undo reversion of previous sock's edits. JohnCD (talk) 18:17, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

All are already blocked. I have tagged them as WP:DUCKs, and have started this SPI as a reporting base, because this one seems persistent. I don't think CU is necessary, because the connection is obvious, and because these socks all edited within minutes of creation, so that sleepers are unlikely.

Edit warring  to restore an edit previously made by a known sock  to Divisibility rule. Note that this IP has previously been autoblocked as having been used by a known sock. Meters (talk) 17:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Diff for one of the autoblock version of the talk page since user has deleted the notices and asked for another unblcok. Meters (talk) 17:17, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Same revert-targets and other behaviors as usual. Blocked; just listing here for future reference. DMacks (talk) 16:54, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Has not done any of the usual reverts, but How to simplyfy multiplicative identity was the same sort of very elementary mathematical article that Becambuisness and socks have produced. Not enough evidence to block, nor is it worth a CU unless there is more activity, but added here for the record. JohnCD (talk) 17:23, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Based upon a behavioral review, it's likely that Turtle can fly is unrelated. Mike V • Talk 01:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Same behavior as usual, including disruption/vandalism to the same few Wikipedia: pages, userpages/usertalk of previous socks, etc. Indef'ed as usual too. New accounts keep popping up for over a week now, is there an underlying IP that can be blocked? DMacks (talk) 21:33, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Lahore to Karachi is ✅ to PatGanj. It looks like the underlying IP has been addressed. Mike V • Talk 01:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
