The IP (87.150) vandalizes a page I created and was working on at the same time. The same IP then vandalizes my talk page wth a strange edit history explanation: "level 1". Then strangely, out of the blue, Nam Hien Nguyen makes disparraging remarks about me on their talk page - blaming me as the cause of their block (see block log here). This happened on 10 February 2017.

Really strange! Because Nam Hien Nguyen has not edited on Wikipedia since 11 May 2017, and out of the blue (on October 1, 2017 GMT) they make a point of pinging me on their talk page so I can see their disparaging remarks. After almost five months their only edit was the disparaging remarks which included pinging me (see Nam Hien Nguyen contribution history here).

So, the connections are: out of the blue IP vandalizing the main space page I was working on, vandalizing my talk page as an IP, then pinging me to a WP:NPA set of remarks as Nam Hien Nguyen's only edit in 5 months. I was trying to figure out why Nguyen would suddenly disparage me after so much time has passed, and it occurred to me they are probably also the IP vandal. Also note, the IP went on a rampage before getting blocked by. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 05:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

I am guessing Checkuser will be needed in this particular case because I don't have much content to try to match. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:13, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Also, Checkuser please also check for other connected accounts. Nam Hien Nguyen's contribution history (here) seems to indicate the possibility that they are a sock of some other account. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 16:51, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

 * - I know that the ckeckusers are not allowed to connect the accounts to their IPs, but I wonder since this is a proxy IP, maybe it is possible in this case?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  08:14, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Generally not no but I don't see a problem with telling you that Nam Hien Nguyen is not using a proxy with their main account. Not that that helps very much, it's the very definition of inconclusive. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:12, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Since we have no technical evidence and behavioral evidence is weak, I'm closing this.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:59, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
