Suspected sockpuppets
This blocked user would create self-promotional articles, claim he was the owner for various football clubs, and claim he was married to celebrities. The IPs have repeated that behaviour (one prior to the block, and one subsequent to the block). Singularity42 (talk) 23:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

In addition, is a blocked, but not-yet-tagged sock of this user. Singularity42 (talk) 23:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

And now moved on to another IP:. Singularity42 (talk) 12:19, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

 * IP hasn't edited in a while, so no point in blocking it now. Closing. Spicy (talk) 23:08, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
Usual attempts by this user to promote himself on other pages. Note to reviewing admin: This editor is IP hoping and posts approximately every 7 days. Each prior IP I've reported has resulted in the SPI being closed with no action taken because the IP in question goes a while before editing again, and changes IP. Can I please request some type or range block? Please see my prior filed SPIs for this editor. While I have a way of manually checking for this editor each week (I don't want to explain how here because of WP:BEANS), I really think a range block is needed at this point.

Previously reported IPs: ...so maybe a range block isn't possible. Singularity42 (talk) 19:37, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

 * The following account is ✅ to this master.
 * Range blocks would be overkill in my view - we'd need to apply multiple wide blocks, which would involve a great deal of collateral. That might be justifiable to prevent serious harassment, but if we're just having to delete the odd bit of spam it's probably better to keep blocking their accounts and deleting their spam - hopefully they'll get bored and stop doing it.
