I'm filing this here on the advice of Drmies following a discussion on my talk page partly as record keeping and partly to get some input from SPI clerks as to what to do here.

The IP's here are all WP:Duck cases - they all geolocate to the same location as the known IP in the archives, all have the same behaviour of retargeting redirects to related but incorrect articles, with a specific focus on Gaelic languages and Hispanic America.

The accounts are obviously the same person as the IPs, and are also obviously the same person as the accounts in the archive - LCme4's username is almost identical to their checkuser confirmed sock Lonme4. On many pages you can see these accounts editing to reinsert the IP's vandalism, see for example the page histories of Anglic (disambiguation) and Anglians. Both accounts performed identical vandalism on the redirect America, changing it's target to Américas.

The two accounts and the IPv4 Ranges are stale at this point, but the IPv6 range is still active, and I just noticed that it vandalised a load of redirects in august, retargeting a load of pages on Hispanic America (the region) to Hispanic Americans (the ethnic group). 192.76.8.74 (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Exact same IP range as last time, exact same kinds of edits. The edits from this IP range primarily consist of badly retargeting redirects, un-piping links in articles so they lead to dab pages or the wrong place, and mucking about in articles related to linguistics, which are all typical behaviours for this sockmaster. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 13:15, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

SPI might not be the best venue for this. Consider contacting an admin to block this range for disruptive editing. 0x Deadbeef 12:35, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

 * for another year, thanks for the report. This is a perfectly appropriate place to make this report. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Repeating edits of recent sock User:2804:1054:3015:EE90:B1D9:4058:A:5927 at Scottish Gaelic on 13th July, geolocation. Similar style of edits on other articles. Mutt Lunker (talk) 20:29, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Same style and quality of edits and apparently simliar range to edits of 3rd and 17th December to Scottish Gaelic and those of 13th July by IP in range blocked at Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1133.

A sweep of edits from this range will no doubt find similar edits but my skills are limited in that regard. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Similar typically low quality edits to Goidelic languages as a few days ago but from new IP range (worth block of new range?). Geolocation. Mutt Lunker (talk) 18:15, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
