This IP address made these edits diff to the article Douglas Biklen with the edit comment "Syracuse University's Center on Human Policy from Julie Ann Racino, wiki editor being blocked by Bettlebrox" (meaning of course, who blocked JARacino). It appears to me this is an attempt to evade the block. This IP address geolocates to Rome, New York where Julie Ann Racino resides (according to this source). Rome is a suburb of Syracuse, NY where both Racino and Douglas Biklen work at the same university. Krelnik (talk) 15:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Incoherent nonsense on multiple pages, at one point seeming to represent self as Diana Reyna, a NYC, now NYS, politician, but maybe copy-and-pasted from elsewhere, but moreover signs talk page comments with "JARacino" in the middle of their IPs and timestamps.

 * -, could you point us to the diffs where they describe themselves as Diana Reyna, I'm not seeing it (maybe I'm being an idiot though). I do see the multiple references to the JARacino account, and I see more of them when I look at the contributions of the /64 range, but I also see stuff where they spell out their full name and professional affiliation so I want to make sure we're not looking at two different people on the same narrow range before taking action.

 * Just a quick reading of what she wrote on the Diana Reyna talk page, I assumed all the first person stuff was content she was trying to add to that article (while also adding negative stuff on her primary opponent page and not using the first person but third), but now I see it was this same individual just talking about herself with absolutely no context. So I strike that aspect of the comment. JesseRafe (talk) 16:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm - forgot to circle back around to this case. The same person seems to have been on the /64 for many months now, and from their editing interests, they do appear to be the blocked user JARacino. Range blocked for six months. Girth Summit  (blether)  12:06, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
