– An SPI clerk has requested administrator assistance for action regarding the case below. The requested action is below.
- Suspected sockpuppets
- User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
- Editor interaction utility
156.61.250.250 was blocked for 6 months in May for persistent disruptive editing. A couple of days after that block, the 5.150.92.20 IP address resumes the blocked editor's pattern of editing, beginning with specifically continuing a discussion someone had with the blocked editor with the preface "I think it's time to add a comment which has been sitting on 156.61.250.250's talk page for days waiting to be pasted over." The blocked IP editor's edits concerning the Julian calendar in the state of Georgia have been continued by the new IP address here, which is an oddly specific thing for two IP address that both geolocate to London, England to both have in common. Both editors also use Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language[1][2] and Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)[3][4] (both IP addresses arguing the for the removal of Pending Changes there). This appears to be a pretty obvious case of block evasion by the IP. - Aoidh (talk) 12:13, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- Comment for closing admin - In addition to Vanjagenije's comments below, I'd recommended the original IP's block be reset to match this IP's block as well, since they've been editing in spite of that block this entire time and that IP address seems to be a different computer that they will return to using when this IP's block expires. - Aoidh (talk) 09:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

There is nothing to check here.

- That previous comment had "nothing to check" because you were simply using multiple IP addresses. This, however, is you using a different IP address after being blocked from editing, which is not permitted; if you are blocked from editing, you lose your editing privileges. - Aoidh (talk) 18:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
- The matter was referred to Jimbo, because the "sockmaster" was blocked without reason given, and on Jimbo's talkpage the blocking administrator was evasive and refused to comply with WP:ADMINACCT. 5.150.92.20 (talk) 08:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Completely irrelevant and probably inaccurate as well. What happened previously does not change the fact that you were blocked for six months from editing, and here you are evading that block. You are not permitted to edit on Wikipedia until the block is expired or you make a successful unblock request, and if you continue to try to edit that block is likely to be extended or reset, so that it is six months from this moment, and not six months from when you were initially blocked. Given that you've been editing in violation of the block this entire time, that seems the likely course of action. - Aoidh (talk) 09:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- You're supposed to keep to your own section, Aiodh

or should that be SudoGhost?
Apparently you were caught up in 9/11. Whatever, Jimbo doesn't like editors who make personal attacks [5]. The editor doesn't think much of your grasp of English either. And before denigrating Jimbo, read Wikipedia:Role of Jimmy Wales. You're hardly flavour of the month, are you [6]. 5.150.92.20 (talk) 10:43, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

- Admin action needed - This IP (5.150.92.20) should be blocked for 6 months as it is used for block evasion. IT was already blocked for a month on 27 June, but the evasion continued as soon as the block expired. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
