DotCoder blocked on [[Special:Redirect/log/165062275|11:16, October 10, 2024]], SqrtLog created on [[Special:Redirect/log/165125086|19:20, October 13, 2024]]. SqrtLog's first edits were:
* [[Special:Diff/1251008985|Submitting]] a draft article of an anonymous editor, one minute after it was written.
* [[Special:Diff/1251023708|Editing]] modules which DotCoder used to (see {{lmd|Legislationuk-NIParl}}, {{lmd|Legislationuk}})
* [[Special:Diff/1251024224|Editing]] templates (see {{lt|Legislationuk-NIParl}})
and, of course, editing articles related to United Kingdom law. This level of proficiency is suspect to me given the complexity of module development. Both users edit heavily in the UK law field, see [https://sigma.toolforge.org/editorinteract.py?users=SqrtLog&users=DotCoder&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki interaction analyzer]. A lot of the "List of staturoy rules and orders of Northern Island" pages ([[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1973|1973]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1972|1972]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1971|1971]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1970|1970]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1966|1966]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1969|1969]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1968|1968]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1962|1962]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1945|1945]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1951|1951]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1940|1940]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1934|1934]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1930|1930]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1926|1926]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1925|1925]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1924|1924]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1922|1922]], [[Special:PageHistory/List of statutory rules and orders of Northern Ireland, 1923|1923]]) are created by DotCoder, and later fixed by SqrtLog. Notably, a page on DotCoder's [[en:User:DotCoder|working-on list]], {{la|Local Government Byelaws (Wales) Act 2012}}, has edits from both users ([[Special:Diff/1249149752|DC]], [[Special:Diff/1253514136|SL]]; the page only has three edits), and was part of what tipped me off on the connection. Both users edit a lot of lists and categories. Both users use extremely short edit summaries for most of their edits.
* DotCoder summaries: [https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=DotCoder&search=fix&max=500&server=enwiki&ns=&enddate=&startdate= fix], [https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=DotCoder&search=initial&max=500&server=enwiki&ns=&enddate=&startdate= initial]
* SqrtLog summaries: [https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=SqrtLog&search=fix&max=500&server=enwiki&ns=&enddate=&startdate= fix], [https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=SqrtLog&search=start&max=500&server=enwiki&ns=&enddate=&startdate= start]
I'm currently unable to spend time analyzing SqrtLog's edits if it still contains copyright violations, which is what DotCoder was blocked for, so I can't tell if they've turned over a new leaf or not. Nevertheless, this still seems to be a case of [[WP:BLOCKEVADE]]. <span style="background:#ffff55">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 11:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

*{{confirmed}}. Blocking/reblocking both. I've nuked some of their more recent contribs to minimise work needed on checking for copyvios, but there's a lot of stuff there - probably more review needed than I have time for immediately. If they want to contribute here, they will need to address the original block, and the concerns that led up to it, and the block evasion.
