 * All of the following are related somehow (tl;dr there are two static IP addresses, but two distinct devices being used.) I don't really care who is who given the scale of the disruption here. It's either a coworkers or one person with two computers. Doesn't really matter which.

There are two outliers: DBalkk and RBastin are likely each other, but maybe not directly related to the others. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)



All taken care of. Closing. MER-C 10:05, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

 * All listed accounts ✅ to the socks from the archive. The "two ranges" Tony mentioned? The users reported were on one, this is what I found on the other. One of the socks in this group had also created Draft:Pro Appliance, which I have G5ed. . I'll go ahead and clue the stewards into these ranges as well. ST47 (talk) 22:58, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
