Suspected sockpuppets
Seems to be a clear WP:QUACK case of IP hopping to continue edit warring against consensus on Josh Cahill.

HansoGalaxy has been blocked for edit warring on this article and the page has been protected previously. Regardless, HansoGalaxy and IPs regularly reappear (always at the same time) to continue edit warring against consensus. As the editing always comes in bursts it seems clear they're all the same user logging in near-daily. This is almost certainly a WP:COI issue. — Czello (music) 09:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

 * A CU cannot link an account to IP addresses, so no CU can be run here. Based purely on behavioral data it is clear that the suspected master is editing logged out to avoid scrutiny, so I have blocked them from that article and its talk page for a month. Also, I am not convinced that all the IPs are this user; it seems fairly clear that there is some off-wiki coordination or campaign related to this individual. The page was protected by another admin. The IPs are not editing consistently enough to block. I don't see anything else to do here, marking for closure. Vanamonde93 (talk) 08:41, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
