This is continued Belteshazzar block-evasion on a VPN who is continuing to stalk my recent edit history and edit the same articles as me. This has been mentioned in many previous SPI's. I am not happy about this stalking any longer, it's been going on nearly 2 years now. I would like to email the WMF, I believe this user Belteshazzar should be globally banned because this is long-term harassment.

Examples: 3HO [1], Hulda Crooks [2], Joe Greenstein [3] all edited after me.

Another target of Belteshazzar is the user DanielRigal which would explain the edit at For Women Scotland [4].

As per the previous SPI he also edits the article Li Ching-Yuen where he has been blocked many times [5], [6]. It might be worth protecting that article, I may request that. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:21, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Most of the other edits looks like innocuous edits to either to deflect attention or to annoy but the edit to Li Ching-Yuen is a very standard edit to one of his standard targets. That's definitely him. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:34, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

I've added 181.163.18.64 as that is also clearly him, hitting several of the usual targets. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:35, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

I've nuked the majority of edits by both IPs which were not obvious and entirely uncontroversial improvements so as not to encourage him. I have left a very few edits where reverting would not be in the interest of the articles in question. DanielRigal (talk) 19:44, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

He's back on his Who Wants To Be A Millionaire related bullshit too at James Plaskett. DanielRigal (talk) 22:17, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

User:Guy Macon/One against many (AKA WP:1AM) appears to be one of his targets. See [7] and [8] --Guy Macon (talk) 02:00, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
