Suspected sockpuppets

 * Editor interaction utility

All these English Wikipedia IP addresses are also used by the sock master De la lombertie on French Wikipedia. This user was banned indefinitely on French Wikipedia in Sept 2015 (French AIV discussion here), and has since resorted to sock-puppetry to continue his disruptive editing with at least seventeen different IP addresses being blocked on French Wikipedia (French SPI here). Because the user has a dynamic IP, his warnings and blocks on English Wikipedia are scattered and only three have led to blocks, but the time spent in cleaning up after him is considerable.
 * Individual IP addresses have been blocked on English Wikipedia as follows:
 * 11 Oct 2017 - blocked for three days for adding unsourced info
 * 13 Jan 2018 - blocked for three days for adding unsourced info
 * 02 Feb 2018 - blocked for two weeks for adding unsourced info
 * 04 Mar 2018 - blocked for 60 hours for adding unsourced info
 * The editor has continually added unsourced material and links to non-notable persons, particularly the French artists Jean-Joseph Sanfourche and Albert Chaminade. He has been warned and reverted many times for these actions.
 * This editor leaves cryptic edit summaries of 3-5 letters that form an abbreviation for a French word. He has been asked many times to provide a proper edit summary.
 * This editor edits French towns, especially of central France (Limoges), sports (CSP Limoges) and motorsports (Luc Méloua).
 * This editor is a cross-wiki problem whose edits span at least twenty Wikipedia projects and a list of some of the IP addresses found on a quick search of those projects can be found here. He is a prolific editor often with many edits per day. As he is evading his indef ban by using IP addresses and not his global account on English Wikipedia, I am requesting that these addresses be recognized as sock puppets of a banned user and that almost entirely all of his edits are disruptive. This will make it easier to request blocks for individual IP addresses as they pop up. Loopy30 (talk) 15:19, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

 * While this does look like one person to me, all of the IP's and the account are stale, so there's not much to be done here. Despite never having used it, De la lombertie does have an account on enwiki, so I've moved the casepage in order to make it easier to find across projects.

User returns on 22 Apr with personal attacks on this SPI page (diff 2) and talk page (diff 3) and continued Sanfourche obsession at new IP address, 78.116.61.124 (diff 4)

And a different IP (88.140.36.169) also editing on 22 Apr. All WP:DUCK and includes more Sanfourche obsession (diff 5). Loopy30 (talk) 00:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Now posting un-decipherable messages to my talk page about reversions I have made to articles on French Wikipedia. Note that this IP (88.140.36.169) is now blocked for a year and the sock-master (De la lombertie) is banned indefinitely on French Wikipedia. Loopy30 (talk) 18:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

IP 88.140.36.169 still editing on 27 Apr, adding Sanfourche trivia sourced by Twitter (diff 6).

WP:DUCK. User continues to add unsourced edits to same articles as De la lombertie (rugby players - diff 1, diff 2). Loopy30 (talk) 20:21, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * IP user shares the same ISP (Campus SFR, 12 rue Jean-Philippe Rameau, CS 80001, 93634 La-Plaine-Saint-Denis Cedex, France) and a complete overlap of article topics (rugby/soccer players and teams). Loopy30 (talk) 01:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: Same ISP, but different IP range. Still active. Loopy30 (talk) 17:44, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
