Suspected sockpuppets
Long-term abuse of an IP range that has been used by long-blocked abuser Defeedme on numerous occasions. same range, harassment same range, harassment same range, posting on the talk page of their blocked account more harassment more harassment more harassment more harassment block evasion canvassing harassment harassment block evasion lobbying harassment harassment block evasion, attacking an admin harassment harassment commenting on their own previous sock report harassment Wes sideman (talk) 14:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Blocked user is now canvassing from the same range, as they can no longer disrupt the protected page. Wes sideman (talk) 12:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Attempted to cover their tracks from a slightly different range. Has used this range before, in April 2023. Wes sideman (talk) 12:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Although, the range that I initially reported above has a ton of edits from this user, starting about a year ago, and continuing up to this week. Seems to be one they use a lot. Wes sideman (talk) 18:30, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I've added 73.244.41.219. Their only edit as of this timestamp is a revert of Wes sideman on Klete Keller (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), a previous target of Defeedme. 73.xx also geolocates to the same area as the other IP. — SamX [talk · contribs] 01:55, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

- Blocking isn't terribly effective, as they tend not to stick around on the same IPs, and the ranges are pretty large. Reverting and ignoring might be the best bet unless there's a manageable range. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- This range contains 1208925819614629174706176 IP addresses. Most of it is regular IP stuff, which far outnumbers their edits. It's basically all of Comcast in that part of Florida. I don't think it's severe enough to block that entire range. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Looks like Ponyo blocked the /44 for a couple weeks after they stepped up their disruption. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

- Most of the November contribs here are this LTA; the rest is spammy articles, vandalism and the removal of Sindh from various infoboxes, so the collateral looks minimal.-- Ponyobons mots 22:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
