Since User:Foxxygrandpa was banned for being a sock, 75.80.58.122 has been exhibiting the same behavior on the Lanix page: reverting any edits that remove sources which probably fail WP:BLOGS, removing tags, and leaving long edit summaries berating me for removing content. On the hist page below you can see User:Foxxygrandpa, 24.205.147.240, and User:75.80.58.122. User:Bejinhan suggested the 75 IP was a sock here. 75 has an editing history dating almost a year (earliest edit). Fleetham (talk) 16:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The 24 IP hasn't edited since March, and the 75 IP has been pretty quiet. Closing with no action taken for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:17, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
