On the 26th December 2018 Nim was taken to ANI due to their recent behaviour, On the 7th Jan they decided to retire due to the ANI thread,

On the 9th Jan - 2001 made an Australian car-related edit (Nim had accidentally logged out with their IP at ANI and then logged back in reinserting their edit} which is why I believe 2001 is them,

I also believe 202 is them due to the similar edit summaries (Nim & 202

I also came across however their edit summaries here aren't similar and their English seems to be better than Nims,

The 2001 IPs are in Australia (where Nim resides (on their userpage)) whereas the 202 IP is in a different country altogether however It's not hard to spoof country with any Chrome extension or downloadable software,

I'm under the impression Nim's been IP editing with these to try and evade scrutiny (if they retire we'll just forget all about it and nothing will be done),

Obviously results cannot be made public but figured I'd create this on the offchance I'm correct (and If I'm not then my apologies), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 16:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

202.58.170.123 is definitely Nim, the pattern and time of the edits were made between 0:00am to 15:00pm GMT as well as similar summaries such as "Better angle, no need to be the newer models." It a pity but I'm not surprised that he unable to make do with the topic ban and leaning towards a indef. --Vauxford (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Absolutely Nim. I wish he would stick to taking photos and not spend so much time pestering people... I don't think blocking is beneficial, though, but he definitely needs a wake-up call of some sort.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  02:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * - Not to have a go but there is more or less consensus over at ANI to have him topicbanned from automobiles altogether ..... so his next wisest move would've been to take a break and accept the restriction .... instead he's edited under an IP (or more) in order to evade scrutiny and obviously to go undetected.... It would be no different to me being dragged to ANI ... announcing I'm retiring .. and then immediately continuing to edit as an IP ....,
 * He's been here long enough to know the rules on all this so as such I do believe a block is warranted although the length would be up to the deciding admin but either way an extended wikibreak may do him (and us) some good. – Davey 2010 Talk 02:52, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * - possible, and I am not going to go to bat to protect him - I will just refrain from voting. I am greedy for more photos though, and perhaps he will focus on more beneficial efforts in the Commons if he gets a topicban or whathaveyou.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  02:59, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * He should've just accepted the topic ban and just left it be, but using a sock? This is bad. Now it's going to be a IBAN.   Oshawott 12  ==== Talk to me!  06:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Recently sent a message to Nim questioning about the suspicious IPs, unsurprisingly he denies all of them as his, as well as showing "proof" to me that the IPs doesn't match to the one when he logged out by accident on the ANI edit, I'm not a expert at how IP masking work so I don't have much to say now. --Vauxford (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Vauxford Why on earth would you do that ? ..... ofcourse he's going to deny it because using IPs whilst under scrutiny is a blockable offense .... Seems an extremely odd thing to do..... – Davey 2010 Talk 19:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * "Seem an exxtremely odd thing to do....." Are you saying that in a way that I'm up to something? I have no intention to, it was just a suggestion I thought but it failed. --Vauxford (talk) 20:11, 11 January 2019 (UTC)


 * - Nim has since vanished, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 02:30, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
