About block evasion by User:Vishal Kandassamy

Hi. I saw that you declined an unblock request at User talk:117.252.145.54 (part of the recently blocked IP range Special:Contributions/117.252.144.0/20 and I agree with the decline. From the history of that talk page, Special:Contributions/59.93.10.170 made that unblock request strongly suggesting User:Vishal Kandassamy is probably using that IP to evade their original block as well. Can you please look into this? Thank you. ~ SG5536B (talk) 15:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, they obviously are. For those following along, that's based on behaviour, I haven't looked at the CU evidence. --Yamla (talk) 16:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Contentious Topics User

Hi, could you take a look at User talk:SelfStarter2#June 2024? I don't know what to do... Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm leaving shortly. Please contact another administrator or WP:AIV (I'm not sure that noticeboard is appropriate). --Yamla (talk) 21:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Query

Hello, do these edits by Dan Koehl (talk · contribs) on his user page ([1], [2], [3]) violate his topic ban on editing about Vikings? I'll note that the original text he's adding to appears to predate the topic ban.--Ermenrich (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I would agree those are violations. I sincerely hope Dan Koehl self-reverts. --Yamla (talk) 11:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Replied

I've replied that one. Thanks. -Lemonaka 00:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I wonder...

Given the IP range overlap(s), the undiscussed page moves and redirect creations, and the wiktionary edits, I wonder if Par âpre aux astres is Eastern but not so Middle/Wahakadha mustakhdim. With the sock you uncovered it doesn't matter much, but the overlap is interesting.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:35, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't have the IP ranges in front of me right now. The timing on that account certainly makes this a possibility and this account made a significant number of low-quality edits to get their edit count up. --Yamla (talk) 20:06, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I didn't run a check myself, I just peeked at the ranges you ran on the Par âpre account and looked at the logs for previous checks on those ranges. That's where Wahakadha popped up. If it is them, they seemed to have become fed up with trying to game EC to edit PIA topics and are now just outright trolling. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
