Identical requests
Why did you create four identical cases ? This is not the first time, before that you also created two identical cases. What's going on?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  11:15, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops. The abuser is so prolific across several IP addresses, and yet so irrelevant that I just click "revert" and  "report" as I go about editing real content and doing things that actually matter. I had previously seen Twinkle detect and deny me from filing duplicate entries, so I didn't worry about it.  Tonight, it didn't deny the reports, so I thought the abuser had changed IP addresses.  Then I looked and saw that I had four redundant reports.  That's lame! I'm sorry for not having deleted the redundant reports, and for having misspelled the abuser's name the other day. Thank you very much. — Smuckola(talk) 11:19, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * In the future, if you file a report, and then you discover new IPs or sockpuppets while the case you filed is still open, just add them to the existing case, do not open a new case. Filing a separate case for every new IP or sock is not useful.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  11:43, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Isn't that what Twinkle is supposed to do and has always done before? btw, The correct template to use here is, FYI. :) — Smuckola(talk) 19:41, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, no. If you use Twinkle, Twinkle opens a new report every time you use it to make a report. That results in a multiple reports on the same page, which is not useful. If you want to add more suspected socks to the already filed report, don't use Twinkle, just go to the SPI page and add more suspects to the previous report (if it is not closed in the meantime). Ping is just a redirect to Reply to, so I don't understand your last comment.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  19:49, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
