 * Suspected sockpuppets

Yamh91 has been socking out of this range for a long time: using it to insult editors he is in disputes with, and [anonymously edit war 189.159.34.72] [using multiple IPs]. Luna Santin has been a bit cryptic, but I think it's apparent that his checkuser uncovered reason for suspicion. Yamh91 is on a month-long block, and he is just going to use anonymous editing to evade it. We need to do an anonymous block on the range, and that means we need a checkuser to look for collateral damage.

Note that despite the previous merge, Yamh91 is not Brexx, and the two cases need to be handled separately.&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Due to Yamh91's continued block evasion, I've blocked the account indefinitely. Icestorm815 •  Talk  14:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * ✅. Blocked IP range 189.248.0.0/19, too much collateral damage on 189.159.0.0/16 for a block. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 13:34, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Pretty obvious: same range on same ISP as all previous anonymous edits by Yamh91, focused on Raven-Symoné, just as Yamh91. I'd recommend blocking per WP:DUCK, but I've learned that admins are hesitant to block IPs without checkuser confirmation.&mdash;Kww(talk) 01:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * CU Nishkid64 has already commented that a rangeblock on 189.159.0.0/16 would have too much collateral damage; blocking the individual IP wouldn't be terribly useful, so I'm not sure there is much to be done with this report. Nathan  T 02:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nishkid has already said that there would be too much collateral damage in blocking the entire range, so I don't see what a Checkuser could do. I would recommend possibly thinking about semi-protection over the relavent articles, but I don't thinking that blocking the range would help for the particular case. As for the IP, WP:DUCK is applicable in this case, in my opinion. So, Decline. NW ( Talk ) 02:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yamh91 is a Raven-Symoné specific editor located in Mexico. He was blocked for edit-warring and socking over (see Articles for deletion/Backflip (song) as well). Given the Hispanic user name and the recreation of, it's pretty likely that Viveravidanovela is Yamh91. Still, there's a non-zero possibility of there being two Spanish-speaking Raven-Symoné fans, so a checkuser is needed to verify.&mdash;Kww(talk) 16:49, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

 * It should be noted that Ericorbit blocked based on behavioural evidence. I'm happy enough with the conclusion that Yamh91 is on vacation or using a proxy, because the behavioural evidence seems extremely strong.&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
