Editing style is almost identical: Overuse of ellipses, square brackets, parenthesis. Makes edits but lacks the ability or knowledge to create a proper citation. Extremely argumentative, self-righteous, belittles any editor who does not agree with him; Only posts to pages located within same narrow geographic area — Northeast Ohio. — JlACEer ( talk ) 02:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

One of Ohiopioneers' last edits before signing off was to Cedar Point in which the user made an obscure and incomplete reference to "FIRELANDS PIONEER (series) April 1925." I had no idea what this was and a Google search did not yield anything useful. I replaced it with a CN tag. The IP user knew exactly what this referred to and attempted to put the citation back in, but failed to format it properly. It is too much of a coincidence that they both knew what "FIRELANDS PIONEER (series) April 1925" referred to. Edits in question: Ohiopioneers IP User— JlACEer ( talk ) 03:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Both users have referred to editors/historians as "parrots." IP Editor / Ohiopioneers / Ohiopioneers— JlACEer ( talk ) 14:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

 * - The privacy policy prevents checkusers from publicly connecting a user account to its IP addresses. In this case, even if we could, because Ohiopioneers has not edited since 2019, we would not have checkuser data anyway (checkuser data is only retained for 90 days).

 * There's no sock violation here - someone who abandoned their account half a year ago is not obligated to return as a registered editor, Ohiopioneers was not the subject of blocks or sanctions, and there is no indication that they were editing both logged in and logged out at the same time. The multiple IP addresses is just IPv6 privacy extensions rotating the IP once a day or so. Closing without action. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:27, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
