Some suspicious editing on optometry/optician topics. In the last couple of months there have been a lot of different IP addresses being used to reintroduce the same changes on Optometry. On 25 January 2017 protection of this was sought and granted. The suspicious edits continued using more than one account.

For example, repeated removal of a reference relating to the OD degree: 82.22.67.43 ; 86.126.160.12 ; 86.126.169.22 ; 2405:204:b10a:8170:cd2f:2b6c:e672:6c82 ; 2405:204:b00d:b7ca:c4d0:66e2:df49:d2fe ; BlackAnt1997.

Another example is the repeated changes to the Infobox UK around BOptom in India/Commonwealth:2405:204:b082:58b6:8856:c880:a6a0:a549 ; 2405:204:b084:fb4a:a009:a38a:bfb2:444b ; 2405:204:b002:14fd:126c:c7f6:de80:5a35 ; 2405:204:b004:130:4ed2:9a1c:abb8:d064 ; 2405:204:b107:31c3:8c43:bafc:57c6:a285 ; 2405:204:b00c:9737:b9fa:4a6d:4d00:e72c ; after the 25 Jan page protection we saw the first edits by BlackAnt1997:, ,.

The BlackAnt1997 account was used to report edit warring at Optometry but was also handed a brief ban. At this point the AdmWiki account began editing a very similar selection of articles.

An article created by BlackAnt1997 went to Afd- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya, Guwahati. First there were IPs: 2405:204:b10e:bed1:de94:c37e:e6e0:282 ; 2405:204:b10c:2858:8ab2:a337:8192:446 ; then BlackAnt1997,. BlackAnt1997 tried to close-. Later AdmWiki asked for the article to be kept- and a few days later the AdmWiki account also tried to close

There also seems to be overlapping edits on Rainbow English Academy:, Drchriswilliams (talk) 01:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

The two named accounts are ✅, blocked and tagged. The IP edits are too old. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
