All the above are ✅ and blocked. Obviously related behaviourally and technically: User:Buy me a backup Wii-U, User:Azbeztos M and several others. The IP range is used by several LTAs; it's possible it's one of them but I'm not going to assign this any further. -- zzuuzz (talk) 13:02, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

username similarity to Essjaey sock Cruizir. Cross-referencing others in edit summaries. Both already blocked on behavioural evidence. CU request for sleepers.Nthep (talk) 19:39, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

This guy came to me literally an hour after registering his account, an hour he probably spent on writing a lengthy message on my talk page (the only Wikipedia page he's ever edited from this account). On my talk page, he was overtly insistent that I revert Enzian44 and rename Giuseppe Pitrè back to Giuseppe Pitré, which is Essakra's spelling of choice. According to him, it's more correct than Giuseppe Pitrè as it represents a Standard Italian, rather than Sicilian pronunciation. I'm not sure how to ascertain if that is true, so I advised him to visit the reference desk. The diffs from my talk page are as follows:, and

On my talk page, he denied connection to these two banned anons: and. The first one requested that Giuseppe Pitrè be renamed to Giuseppe Pitré a week before Essakra asked me on my talk page whether I'd be interested in doing the same. The second one performed the rename on Italian WP. The relevant diffs are, and. Also, the 86... anon edited the article open proxy (diff: ) as well as Cruizir's talk page (diff: ), an editor that's been banned as a sockpuppet of Essjaey.

I almost forgot: Essakra looks very similar to Essjaey. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 11:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: An anon (207.164.179.210) has vandalized this page (see and ). He might be worth checking. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 10:19, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

. The only connection is that one of the IPs used by Essakra was used by many confirmed socks. However, the archive socks consistently used the same user agent, whereas Essakra uses different ones. And, frankly, I don't understand the behavioral connection between Essakra and the master/socks. .--Bbb23 (talk) 15:02, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No edits since august 8, and I agree with bbb23 that the behavioral connections aren't crazy strong. If there is further disruptive behavior feel free to raise it again but I don't see enough here on behavior alone. NativeForeigner Talk 03:44, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
