Possible block evasion
[edit]Hi, I've got the suspect that one of the users whom you've recently blocked, IvanScrooge98, is evading the block by using temporary accounts, for example the ones you can find in the history of the page "Sanremo Music Festival 2026" which he's been editing a lot before the block. Could you check if these accounts are sharing the same IP address (range) and/or the same device, or should I call on somebody else about my suspects? ~2026-14484-71 (talk) 15:30, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-14484-71 Can you please list which temporary accounts you're talking about? In the page history you mention I only see one of relevance, ~2026-13695-50. As to your question, IP addresses of named accounts can only be seen by CheckUsers, who will generally not connect named accounts to temporary accounts (WP:CUTA).

- Temporary accounts have been created in order to ensure anonimity, as far as I know. So what happens if a blocked user continues edits without logging in by using temporary accounts? Can checkusers verify a case like that and block the IP address (range) of the blocked user? Anyway, if you advise me to do so I'll go to the checkusers' page and tell them about my suspects. ~2026-14484-71 (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-14484-71 Please list the accounts here and I'll refer the case if needed. If they're obviously connected, I'll block them myself. If they're obviously not connected (like the TA I linked above), there's no point wasting everyone's time filing an SPI. I don't particularly like that you've made an accusation of block evasion against a specific editor, but have provided next to no evidence to support your claim, even after being directly asked – that is a personal attack.

- Pardon... Are you telling me that, when a user who's already been definitively banned from "t-w-o" other Wikipedias (maybe you didn't know that because I hadn't written it...) is blocked by an administrator in this Wikipedia, warning such an administrator that there're new anonymous users editing the same pages lately edited by the blocked user is considered a "personal attack"? I'm stunned. Anyway, just a pair of examples of possible linked accounts: ~2026-13451-50 (completing the table he'd been working on before being blocked) and ~2026-13414-53 (he seems to be obsessed with phonetics like few others). I hope that I've provided enough information to at least have a check so I won't insist on this report if you aren't interested in investigating further, I think I've done my part. ~2026-14528-19 (talk) 10:45, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, unsubstantiated accusations are aspersions and are not allowed, even if the accused is blocked here and banned elsewhere. Whether a user is blocked or banned on other projects is generally irrelevant on this one.
- With that out of the way, thank you for listing those two TAs. They are not in the same country, so it is highly unlikely they are both Ivan, but it is certainly possible one or the other is. I'll discuss this with some folks to see what can be done. Toadspike [Talk] 09:45, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
