So it really is Sockpuppetry 70.50.199.125 (talk) 17:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say it's just a single not logged in user, whose address changes from time to time. I count the following IP addresses, all making the same two non-constructive edits, often repeatedly: 81.18.84.213, 2A02:2F0E:510B:A500:9105:1146:1E36:EE54, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:3881:E5A3:E19E:35FE, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:3CC7:5443:45F0:2543, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:6001:D309:299:F6F3, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:7D43:A64E:BE08:6B5B, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:847C:6D53:717:F3B2, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:E58C:1A4:630C:2D5A, 2A02:2F0E:610B:6600:F05B:D7BF:98DB:559A.

Johann van Beethoven[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent & ongoing sockpuppetry/vandalism from IPs & named accounts regarding Johann van Beethoven birthdate. Cited sources only state a circa year, not the unsourced November date that various accounts keep on adding to this article - see this and this etc. Shearonink (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hero Wars (video game)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A dynamic IP has been reverting against an AfD consensus without making improvements. I'm nominally involved, so filling this as a request. It may be possible to rangeblock the IP, but it seems like there's some unrelated activity on the range (still, p-blocking it from this page in particular may be the cleanest solution). signed, Rosguill talk 14:34, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Kursk[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent and non-stop IP vandalism. Random IPs keep on deleting source information, saying Boris Sokolov is not a historian despite giving no source nor using proper grammar, and ignoring the multiple other sources which cite his numbers and find them to be reliable, including Frieser and Toeppel.Reaper1945 (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
