Both of these users have made similar disruptive edits/vandalism relating to Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands related issues. Both have been blocked for disruptive edits; Patriot83 was blocked last week for 72 hours. Both have added the unusual phrase "pro-statehood" before mentions of Puerto Rico on various company articles. Examples include: Walmart and J.C. Penney by Patriot83; Pep Boys and TJ Maxx by the IP. --EightYearBreak (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

 * It's clear that this IP is a static assignment; the IP editing history going back 18 months is almost entirely related to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. So, given proof of misbehavior, I wouldn't have a problem with a long block.  The problem is, looking over their history, the long list of previous blocks notwithstanding, I'm seeing mostly legitimate-looking edits, updating and correcting articles in their area of interest.  If you could point out some more, recent, examples of disruptive edits, that would help.  -- RoySmith (talk) 16:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * just want to make sure you saw my request for more information. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:57, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * No response from, and in any case, has already blocked the IP, so closing this out.  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:51, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
