Editor is IP hopping to continue edit warring, adding unsourced content and refusing to discuss in talk page. When the editor gets enough warning, he or she simply move to another IP address. Note the overlap in articles edited, for example, Lion Dance, Snow Lion and Gimmick (professional wrestling), List of examples of convergent evolution, articles on dogs, etc. -. There appear to be a lot more IP addresses, which were used just for a while and then abandoned. Some edits are identical or near-identical - for example and, as well as these similar edits  and , ,.

 * Not a ton we can do here. I've blocked JJ (mostly for housekeeping purposes, since the account hasn't edited in months), but none of the IPs have edited recently and there don't seem to be any practical rangeblocks here. If they're IP-hopping this much, page protection might be the right way to go. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:24, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

IP hopping editor who continually edit war, adding unsourced content and refusing to discuss. Currently doing it in Epicanthic fold. It is possible to tell they are the same person by the overlap in articles edited with other socks, for example, Lion Dance and Gimmick (professional wrestling). Near identical edits with other IP editors -, and ,. Hzh (talk) 07:57, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Is it possible to temporarily semi-protect Epicanthic fold as well? It seems to be the editor's latest interest, over 40 edits are by that editor and their reverts, and it doesn't look like ending. Hzh (talk) 18:50, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Done -- RoySmith (talk) 19:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

 * As noted in the archives, blocking is not going to be effective, so I've semi-protected the most frequent targets:


 * Gimmick (professional wrestling)
 * Lion dance
 * Snow Lion
 * List of Stuart Little characters
 * Sports commentator -- RoySmith (talk) 15:42, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Near identical user name to the blocked user. Similar edits as before to other IP editors (those IP addresses weren't blocked as it was considered impractical to range block those) - and,  and. Hzh (talk) 12:19, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Similar edits as previously blocked socks - compare with. Currently the editor appears to be interested in adding (and edit-warring) unsupported accusation of famous people being framed in Frameup. Hzh (talk) 15:47, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Similar or partially identical edits as previous blocked editors - compared to. Also similar articles edited - Lion Dance, Epicanthic fold (it was decided to protect pages rather than block due to the large number IP addresses involved), List of examples of convergent evolution, etc..

 * The IP has been blocked for adding unsourced content, so I'm closing this off. Come back if they start up again when the block expires (or just ping the blocking admin).  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:01, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Probably not worth blocking the IPs, but I semi-protected the three noted pages for 6 months. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:02, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Noting for the record that the 123.243.90.209 IP was still active, so I have blocked that for a bit. Girth Summit  (blether)  18:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
