The two IPs listed above are representative examples - they're actually hopping around at least the /16 ranges of each. Note that I've already blocked the 93 range - I'm creating this SPI to keep a record of their activity, and to invite review of my actions. Pasdecomplot's initial editing interest was exclusively about Murder of George Floyd. Later, they moved away from that, and edited exclusively in the area of Tibetan Buddhism, and articles about the relationship between China and Tibet.

The account was blocked in January for repeatedly making inappropriate accusations of bad faith and other personal attacks against other users. Shortly before their last unblock appeal, the 81 range became very active in the area of Tibetan Buddhism, making edits that looked a lot like PDC. I note that the same range had previously been active on the George Floyd article: compare this comment] by an IP in the range to this one, later the same day, which was PDC's first logged-in edit. I'm pretty confident, therefore, that PDC is on that range, and started using it to evade their block once it became clear to them that nobody was going to be willing to unblock.

On 18 May, the 81 range went quite about Tibbetan Buddhism, and the 93 range suddenly became very active in that area. Almost all edits in that range are now about Tibet, Buddhists, Chinese state actions in Tibet, etc. It's exceedingly ducky.

I have blocked the 93 /16 range for one month. I've left the 81 range, since they don't seem to be using that any more. If anyone can see a narrower or more appropriate range to block, I'd be happy for the block to be amended. Girth Summit  (blether) 17:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
