 * I agree. In fact, the talk page for the sock practically admits it. We already identified a competence issue, so he probably hasn't even figured out that he's doing something wrong. I've rolled back all edits by the sock and protected the page. Would you agree I should block both users or should I leave that to the clerk? Deb (talk) 09:15, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

✅, please block and tag. --Yamla (talk) 11:51, 15 November 2020 (UTC)


 * As both are blocked and tagged, I don't think there is anything else to do. Close. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 15:02, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

History of Mansfield Page diffs Special:Diff/992565137 and Special:Diff/976177771 both users are focused exclusively on Mansfield page, and both have made huge changes. User:Sutton12 has also been confirmed as a sockpuppet, and has been blocked. Of which user, I believe it is User:Simpson132, and it is stated on the user's page. There is much more behavioral evidence in the history. Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 17:21, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Immediate resumption of editing in Skegby. In particular, see this and then compare File:St Andrews Church Skegby, Notts.jpg uploaded by JSimons1978 with File:St Andrew's Church, Mansfield Road, Skegby .jpg uploaded by confirmed sock,. I'm rather offended at the lack of any obvious effort on behalf of this banned user. Yamla (talk) 22:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Is it possible to enable an IP block on the user? It should prevent him from creating alts. Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 22:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes. I have requested one. I can't publicly disclose this user's email address so I can't place the block myself. --Yamla (talk) 22:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Got it. Thanks for your help in ridding Wikipedia of this guy. I'll keep an eye out for alts, and I'm requesting page protection of Mansfield, semi. Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 22:42, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Update. Never mind, already ✅ Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 22:43, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
