CodyFinke2019 was blocked indefinitely (and is still blocked - which would make this a block evasion if the conclusion is as suspected) June 25, 2019 for repeatedly failing to discuss changes, that revolved around the removal of usage of those songs in TV adverts, to multiple song articles (see following relative talk page diff links). This very recent talk page message by the stated IP (and other similar talk page comments left around the same time e.g. Talk:What a Man (song) and Talk:Magic (Pilot song)) is practically identical to those left by CodyFinke2019 (e.g. Talk:The Book of Love (song), Talk:The Best (song), Talk:I Am Woman, Talk:Boogie Fever, Talk:I Can See for Miles and many others as can be seen via CodyFinke2019's contribs), and was left in the same manner as those by CodyFinke2019 i.e. the talk page message immediately preceded or followed (e.g.) the related action on the related article without real discussion. 11:45, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

While this request for an investigation has been sitting dormant, another IP appears to be in use by the same person; I have added the new IP as instructed. They recently made this edit to a Talk:Don't You Want Me which is essentially identical to CodyFinke2019's (and the other IP), and followed with removal of advert related trivia from the respective article in the same pattern as CodyFinke2019 (and the other IP). This new IP it seems was actually being used for these effectively identical edits on Our House before the CodyFinke2019 account took over. 18:15, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Blowing the cobwebs off this with the addition of another IP; this new section message added to the talk page of Macho Man (song), followed immediately by this removal of content from the article is the same pattern as the other IPs and CodyFinke2019. The contributions of this IP tell a similar and widespread tale. 14:33, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
