Kirov Airship created page Slim Framework before he was temp blocked for removing speedy deletion templates from his own pages (not this one). During the block, 144.122.250.225 added content to the page. Nobody else has added content to the page, and that IP has only made 3 other edits, the most recent being in 2011. I think the IP is him logged out to evade his block. Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)


 * How should I report block evasion in the future? Jackmcbarn (talk) 23:39, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd say WP:AIV or WP:ANI. A checkuser won't confirm identity of a single IP address. If you see multiple accounts being used to evade blocks, that is sockpuppetry and should be reported here along with any IP addresses found. ~Amatulić (talk) 04:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * It may be block evasion to edit without logging in, but that isn't equivalent to sockpuppetry. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:34, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * One edit isn't enough evidence. It could be a coworker, a friend, or a random passerby for all we know. Closing Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:55, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
