IP (actually two separate IPv6 addresses within the same /64 range, so presumably a single editor) attempted four times to edit Mariska Hargitay, changing the number of children in her infobox from "3" to either "1" or "1 (biological) 2 (adopted)". ; ; ;. These edits were reverted four times by three different people (myself included), and two warnings were placed on the second IP's talk page (one by me) regarding edit warring. After the fourth edit, there having been no attempt by the IP to discuss the matter on the article's talk page or either IP's talk page, I reverted and then blocked the /64 range for a month. Less than an hour later, the brand-new account Usjsjsj made essentially the same edit to the article in question, this time omitting the number of children entirely. . The timing of this last edit is too exact to be a coincidence; it seems clear to me on behavioural grounds that this account is the same IP editor who was blocked for doing this same thing. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 07:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I updated my original block of the /64 range to apply it to logged-in users. I should probably have done this earlier, but whatever.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 07:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , hello. Did you mean to block the IPv6 address range with email disabled? Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It didn't seem to make any difference as long as it was still an IP issue — but now that an account is apparently involved, I see no reason to forbid e-mail. I'll go ahead and make this change to the block.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 15:46, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
