The editors User:2.48.102.82 and User:37.245.43.126 are exhibiting similar interests and editing behavior to the accounts below, at least one of which was previously banned as a suspected sockpuppet of User:Orchomen. User:2.48.102.82 blanked that page multiple times and also blanked the page at User:37.245.43.126 multiple times. These two IP addresses also returned to editing some of the same articles edited by the other addresses listed, including Posy (given name). These addresses also all appear to be based in the United Arab Emirates. While this editor's or editors' editing of articles in the past day or so appears to be unobjectionable, the blanking of pages is problematic and there was apparently previous behavior that led to the User:Orchomen account and subsequent sockpuppets being suspended. The User:Gugrak account was banned as a suspected sockpuppet a couple of months ago. If this editor is the same individual, it would seem to be be more appropriate to ask to have the original account unblocked and acknowledge edits made using the other account and IP addresses.

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

Additionally, checkusers will not publicly connect an account with an IP address per the privacy policy except in extremely rare circumstances.

I don't see anything exceptional here. The blanking of talkpages isn't what's problematic, what's problematic is Bookworm857158367 publicly tagging linking multiple IPs to

an account without being a CU, , and admin, or an SPI having taken place.91.72.187.50 (talk) 10:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
