Had attempted to impose his commentaries on Operation Dwarka, at least twice. Today he added the same claim with an IP address, and also claimed Pakistani victory for the Battle of Chamb and Dogra, just like he had done 2 days ago with the account.

Usually prefer asking questions on edit summaries, "Why are you removing the article", "why are you damaging the article". And discusses victory results on edit summaries with long explanations.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:10, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

After I warned the IP, he added it with the account.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 08:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Checkusers will not, under most circumstances, publicly link an IP to an account. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:32, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel comfortable with the behavioral evidence presented, so I have blocked the account and the IP for 1 week for contributing to the same page. Mike V • Talk 01:53, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

This was added by Raj singh12, later it was restored by Zerefx. He added this(WP:REDFLAG) and when it was removed by other editors, he added it back with 5.36.155.115, same gelocation as 5.36.160.202. Attempted to change the statistics of 2014–15 India–Pakistan border skirmishes, like Zerefx was doing. Has also edited the result parameter of Operation Dwarka like Zerefx and 5.36.160.202. Just now, he edited the causalities parameter with an IP, which is not very different compared to this edit of Zerefx. With 81.156.251.114, he refer editors by their nationality, just like before.

 * What you think about the behavior? He is still editing the article, it is WP:EVADE. How about we consider increasing the block duration?  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 09:29, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * For now, I will revert the similar IP addresses. Thanks  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 10:00, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
