Suspected sockpuppets
Already blocked, filling for posterity. Similar arguments on Incel related talk pages (see talk:Incel currently and ctrl+f "Willwill0415" at Talk:Incel/Archive_4), same style of augmenting and hitting along the same points. Note the several edits to talk pages after initial posts, with a lack of edit summary. Also note the similarities between them and Special:Contributions/JoarFF, who also appears to be a sock of this editor. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 16:16, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Willwill0415 is on the WMF global ban list but long stale. I ran checks on Bashfan34 and JoarFF; they're  to each other.  Since they're already blocked, I'll just leave that be. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:35, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Just a slightly wider range than the already blocked Special:Contribs/2600:4040:4030:5000::/64. Behavioral evidence identical in topic interest and editing style, with no real attempt to hide it. Also note the master is WMF-banned. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 04:08, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

 * It seems clear that they're evading the IP block at the very least. Blocked for a month. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:01, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Right back at it after coming off a 1 month block. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 16:40, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Range has slightly shifted, but interest in incel-related topics and editing style remains. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Blocked for a month; the connection to sanctioned suicide is obscure to me, but I see the same names cropping up, and the last few edits and edit summaries reverting the hatting are in my opinion more than enough of a connection to block. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Just for later reference should it come up again — the operators of Sanctioned Suicide are the same people who run the largest incel forum, and those individuals seem to be a specific interest of this sock beyond just their connection to the incel topic.

 * ( original case name)

; All the IPs edit talk pages in the same pattern of multiple dispersed edits and have very similar POV edits on Sanctioned Suicide; the only edits outside of that article are for incel-related topics and Meghan Twohey; 2600:4040:403F:BF00::/64 recently turned up on the article with the exact same pattern of editing and demonstrated pre-existing knowledge of the article ; 72.86.42.248 was blocked for disruptive editing and block evasion and followed the same pattern of behavior : 3 F4U (they/it) 04:46, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Compare also and ; 71.171.90.218 was also blocked for block evasion. : 3 F4U (they/it) 04:49, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I apologize if I've set anything up wrong. Pinging @Bbb23, @GeneralNotability, @Ponyo, and @PhilKnight who did the original blocks. I'm only concerned with 2600:4040:403F:BF00::/64 as everything else appears to be dormant. : 3 F4U (they/it) 05:01, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also a pattern of adding BLP violating edits to the article and talk page:, , , etc. : 3 F4U (they/it) 13:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * See also insistence on this specific phrasing of the lead sentence: and  - In the second comment, they also bring up an edit made by me months ago. : 3 F4U (they/it) 22:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also @Bbb23, I've converted the IPs into ranges. I wasn't sure how to do it when I filed the report, but the Sockpuppet investigations/Willwill0415 wikilink provided useful examples. Apologies on filing a new report, I wasn't aware of the previous SPI. : 3 F4U (they/it) 22:07, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

 * - This needs to be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/Willwill0415. Also, someone should remove all the IPs that haven't edited in a while and combine any IPs that are not stale into ranges if appropriate. As it stands, it's a mess to wade through. Bbb23 (talk) 13:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ the move, might take a look at reviewing the IPs later (but anyone else should feel free to do so in the meantime, hence the admin action status) — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 11:31, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * One of the IP ranges is blocked, and the other IP edits are all too old. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 12:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Same blocked IP editing warring gender-related articles. special:diff/1216377536 special:diff/1216433666 special:diff/1216760207. Also suspicious that a new account is trying to defend this ip special:diff/1216874279 73.204.189.104 (talk) 20:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 * as very obvious evasion. John locke5 is far less clear, there isn't enough behavioral evidence to tie him to the rest. No prejudice against re-filing if future edits conform to this sockmaster's patterns. The Wordsmith Talk to me 18:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
