 * , my blocks of the first two, and ' block of the third were all soft blocks. What is the WP:ILLEGIT behaviour? Cabayi (talk) 14:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, it's glaringly obvious they're all the same person. CU is unnecessary here. Cabayi (talk) 14:07, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think the disruption wasn't big enough to warrant a block, then I agree that it isn't block evasion. But I'd say it's still Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts and the edit summaries could be considered Impersonating an administrator.

Thanks, I also filed a request for page protection due to the IP editing. Nobody ( talk ) 06:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC) I think they already created more, see here. Nobody ( talk ) 06:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I ran a check because one or two policy-violating usernames might be a misunderstanding, but five of them, one of which impersonates an established editor, just looks like trolling. The listed accounts are ✅ plus


 * I also checked because of overlap with Luzon-Mindanao and a similar username to Miss La Union Official. That one looks similar technically and the behaviour is enough to convince me.
 * Blocking and tagging named accounts. . Spicy (talk) 06:28, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Appears to be a joe job of an admin on the Tagalog Wikipedia who reverted their edits, User:WayKurat. Could be worth setting up an edit filter for the name they insert into articles. Schrödinger's jellyfish &#9993; 06:44, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also worth adding Special:Contributions/216.247.92.86 to the pool, blocked the other day by ScottishFinnishRadish. Some others that escaped a block: Special:Contributions/216.247.90.99 & Special:Contributions/216.247.92.224. Schrödinger's jellyfish &#9993; 06:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

 * I have also blocked, , and , and I have partially blocked 216.247.88.0/21 from mainspace for two weeks. Virtually all of the editing from that IP range after 9 January has been this person, so risk of collateral damage is fairly low. When I made that block I had not seen 's suggestion of a block on a larger range, but I will look into it. JBW (talk) 10:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have now looked at the other half of WayKurat's suggested range, 216.247.80.0/21. There have been no recent edits from that range on English Wikipedia, and at a quick glance I didn't see anything which looked relevant in edits further back either. However, I did see editing from this range on Tagalog Wikipedia from November 2023 which, judging from the topics of the articles, look likely to be relevant. (I didn't check the content of the edits.) As far as I had previously seen this had seemed to be a fairly new problem, so far less than a month old, but that makes it look more like potential LTA.

 * Also ✅ are HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts?  17:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * and appear to be technically ❌ to the above but given the behaviour I wouldn't put any stock in that. They're ✅ to each other. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts?  17:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Not sure that tagging achieves anything in this case so I haven't bothered but no objection if somebody sees value in it that I don't. All accounts are blocked and all IPs are rangeblocked (anon only and not as a result of checkuser data). HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 17:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Copied edit summaries, playing good sock-bad sock at Senior High (TV series).

Registered account reverts IP edit here, IP editor inserts the non-notable individual here.

CU requested, as there are likely more accounts per past investigations. Schrödinger's jellyfish &#9993; 07:35, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

After the blocking of several other sockpuppets operated by this user (User:OhmyPRINCE, User:Wonderfully Editor), this account has popped up. It has the exact same user page as past blocked sock Oh marimar ahhhh and is editing the same pages as past socks. This is a WP:DUCK case but I see mentions of LTA in the "Oh marimar ahhhh" block log, so flagging for CU. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Update: hmm. Seeing a lot of overlap with Sockpuppet investigations/Mutia ti la union updates. I'm not sure how to proceed with this but will leave here so a CU can look at it. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 11:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

WP:DUCK per editing behavior. Edits the same articles with the most recently blocked sock REPETITION is not allowed and has the same user page introducing themselves as a "new" editor (see here).
