Suspected sockpuppets
Syntaktis123 was recently blocked for 2 weeks for edit warring/disruption whilst logged out, the latter which became evident when they decided to join the disruptive IPs with their account as well. However, after the block of this account and the two IPs they used, they are still editing through other IPs, including brazenly making demands/requests on talk pages. Could we tag and block these IPs? I'm not sure they are not planning on stopping this kind of pattern any time soon, and this would be good to have for that.


 * 5.114.228.92 - parrots the same comment as the blocked IP


 * 93.114.25.40 - this IP does the same


 * 94.24.80.173 - this IP does not shy away from the fact that they have been blocked HistoryofIran (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2023 (UTC)


 * 5.113.90.32 - this IP both parroted the same message and openly talked about their block

EDIT: Might I suggest that we block this IP range too? (5.114.0.0/16). One of its IPs was one of the two mentioned above that was blocked, and now through other IPs of that range they are spamming talk pages.

Despite getting reverted and blocked this person keeps IP hopping, I am starting to wonder if WP:NOTHERE applies. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

EDIT: They are still at it. Two more IP ranges;

93.114.25.32/27

94.24.0.0/16 --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:00, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Increased the block of the master to indefinite and tagged. Blocked all of the IPs but one from 2 days to 2 weeks. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

 * 5.113.26.164 restored the edit of their other (blocked) IP sock.


 * 37.156.54.65 restored a section made by another sock )


 * 37.137.41.161 restored (with the edit summary "Mr. IP pusher.") the disruptive edit of the IP mentioned above

May I suggest that we range-block all these just like in the previous SPI? Syntaktis123 has TOO MANY IPs to go about. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Only one of the 3 IPs worked well as a /16 range, and I blocked it for one week. I blocked the other .37 IP for 2 days. The 5.113. IP has made only one edit, hence no block. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 16:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Revdel should probably also be considered for some of the edit summaries of these IPs. Jguglielmin (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Revdel’d two edit summaries on the 195.125 IP. Ping if more are appropriate. ZsinjTalk 01:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Literally admits that they were IP hopping and also replied for the IP sock of Syntaktis123 that I wrote to. They have also started edit warring at Eslamabad-e Gharb , trying to change the speakers of the area from Southern Kurdish to Kalhuri/Kalhori, just like Syntaktis123/other IPs who edit warred a lot there since the 18th February.

Another example that they are clearly the same  --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:18, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Klhrri has been blocked, but could we still do a Checkuser in case they have some other user accounts lying around? I bet they will attempt to use them as well. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
