As noted by in Special:Diff/933668739, 174.255.132.47 appears to be, having edited while logged out. Compare timing and content of Special:Diff/933591967 and Special:Diff/933593750. The IPv4 is registered to "Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless".

Today, I received a message by 2600:100B:B129:A487:E858:F213:32C1:6B24, Special:Diff/933648986. I first overlooked the most important part: The IPv6 editor uses third person pronouns when talking about, who I believe to be themselves: "I watch what posted about H.H. Holmes.  is clearly right." The IPv6 is registered to "Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless".

"Creating an illusion of support" is the first entry in the list of examples for disruptive sockpuppeteering in the sockpuppetry policy. This appears to be the case here. Evading a block is also a concern, as the user is currently blocked, and was blocked when the IPv6 edit was made on my talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)


 * If I may add something while technically closed, the comment in Special:Diff/933723303 couldn't have more clearly confirmed the connection. Thanks. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Changed master block to SPI/indef and semi-protected H.H. Holmes for week. I don't see any point in playing whack-a-mobile with the IPs.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:05, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

This is now really getting disruptive. See the only edit. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Sigh. Blocked, tagged, semi-protected the talk page.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
