Used the IPs to make multiple transphobic edits at Jim Sterling. After blocked the IPs, decided to switch over to this account registered two months ago. Note that the user has vowed to wage a campaign of sockpuppetry in the future, so CU might be indicated for a sleeper sweep, but I'll leave it to a clerk to decide whether to request. -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 23:45, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Totally fair, but I do want to note for the record that TheFreeGene used the same kind of "grammatical mistakes" summary as the IPs, making the edit in question five minutes after 2600:100C was blocked. Either they're the same user, or TheFreeGene was deliberately emulating the IPs. -- Tamzin (she/they, no pref.) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 12:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * It's somewhat likely that this is all the same person (the IPs almost certainly are given ISP and geolocation), but this sort of bigotry is unfortunately all too common, so we might be looking at two distinct people as well. The master is now blocked as NOTHERE, the IPs are dynamic and haven't edited post-block. I think that's fine for now, closing with no further action. --Blablubbs&#124;talk 12:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
