User:P2prules was blocked indefinitely January 2nd, 2017 on English Wikipedia

Evidence
 * behavior 1: adds many lists to WP, then becomes combative with authors who question the notability or whether these lists really belong on WP. See talk page of both users for behavior of adding lists.


 * behavior 2: works in copyright, public domain, open access, peer to peer as seen here next, where they wrote:

User:Oa01 --> 09:28, 23 January 2018‎ Oa01 (talk | contribs)‎. . (328 bytes) (+328)‎. . (←Created page with 'Disclosure: I work in academia for a publication focused on open access to scholarly communication. If my contributions to Wikipedia and its sister projects...')

User:P2prules works in copyright, public domain, open access is obvious because her first edit as P2prules to a WP spanish article in comments wrote in Spanish ---> translated here to "I work in Creative Commons, public domain, copyleft. Stop reverting my edits!!!" https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Contribuciones/P2prules&dir=prev&target=P2prules

So there were issues in Spanish WP and had been blocked under another username because first edit / comment as P2prules was "stop reverting my edits..." etc.


 * behavior 3: Both users add edits to hundreds of See Also section of WP articles often with links to Open Access articles
 * behavior 4: Both users update Spanish WP and wikidata (P2prules last edit was January 1, 2018 and Oa01 first edit on wikidata was January 23, 2018 - their edits don't overlap)
 * behavior 5: Often copies and pastes the same text to multiple pages. User:Oa01  to the talk pages of multiple pages (text added was related to Open Access) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Oa01&offset=&limit=500&target=Oa01

User:Oa01 added this same text to more than 35 articles. The text is basically reporting that her lists were deleted.

 * This report is very confusingly laid out, which is probably why it's sat here for two months with no action. It's hard to compare diffs because they're not provided consistently here. Anyway, I tried reading the report, and I'm seeing some vague similarities between the users, but not enough to conclusively decide they're the same person. Unless additional (and clearly laid out) evidence is provided in a few days, I'm going to close this report with no action. --Deskana (talk) 10:17, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
