From what I've seen, this vandal is probably either Wyatt2049 or My Royal Young. Unfortunately, if it's the latter, the abuse will be much more difficult to combat (not least because the involvement of MRY means that the ranges recently blocked involve Proxy/VPN abuse). As of this writing, in addition to the IPv6 range I've mentioned above (which is probably a range of Wyatt2049), the abuse has originated from 5 IPv4 IP ranges: 90.255.128.0/17, 90.253.64.0/18, 90.240.0.0/18, 92.41.16.0/20 (relatively inactive), and 90.254.160.0/19 (not quite as active). The recent spree of sock accounts were probably made from other IP ranges (almost definitely Open Proxy or VPN networks). All of the given ranges are currently on my watchlist. At this point, I can't rule out copycat vandalism, which would imply that at least 2 separate vandals are involved. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 17:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I found some reference from this website that it could likely follow Eta's track, and that would possibly hit Florida and the Carolinas, just like what Eta did. And the hurricane is already a category 5. I'm also predicting that Iota would also hit Florida as either a Category 1 or Category 2 hurricane. I have some evidence like this:

Hi:
I think there is a problem of interpretation for the death toll in Mexico. The reference cited in the text keep referring to Iota AND Eta. For Mexico it states: "Civil Protection reporting a cumulative death toll of 30 people and nearly 297,000 people affected across Chiapas, Tabasco and Veracruz". I think that the cumulative of 30 death is for both hurricanes, not for Iota alone. Since there is 27 death with Eta, the number of deaths for Iota in Mexico should be only 3. This would be more logical since Iota passed very far from Mexico. Furthermore, I cannot find any other article talking about deaths with Iota in Mexico.
Pierre cb ( talk) 16:38, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
The report about a wind measurement by a ham radio operator in "Wilbi" was copied from an NHC discussion published during the storm. It appears to be a typo. As can be clearly seen by a Google search, "Wilbi" is a common misspelling for Bilwi, the Miskito name for Puerto Cabezas. I cannot find any evidence for the existence of a town called "Wilbi" in northeastern Nicaragua. Puerto Cabezas was very near the epicenter of both Eta and Iota at landfall. It is the only town anywhere nearby, except for a handful of tiny villages that don't have electricity. It seems pretty clear that the report must have been from Bilwi, and that either the ham radio operator or NHC made this typo in the heat of the moment. There is no source for the statement "as the storm moved further inland"; it was probably a guess by the original poster who could not find anything called "Wilbi" near the coast. I am changing it. If you find any believable evidence that the report did not come from Bilwi, please post it here before changing it back. StormWillLaugh ( talk) 14:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Someone wrote the following comment in the "See Also" section:
<!-- Do not add Hurricane Eta or the 1932 Cuba Hurricane as those are already linked to in the main text.-->
Why not? Those are by far the most relevant other hurricanes; almost everyone interested in Iota will want to click on those. Why make them scour the text looking for a buried link? StormWillLaugh ( talk) 15:19, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Dollars (Dólares in Spanish) are referring to US dollar. However, this is not the official damage, thus I slightly change the wording. Damage in Honduras due to Iota was estimated at 120 billion lempiras (US$5 billion).( [3] L245-125 billion)-- 137.189.204.7 ( talk) 15:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Rewrite Together Eta and Iota have killed around 100 Hondurans and local analysts estimate the damage will cost the country more than 10 billion dollars (L244.1 billion)
. 10 billion damage of Honduras is the total of Eta and Iota. Since 5 billion damage is due to Eta, then another 5 billion damage is related to Iota

Hi! Should we add the GIF of Iota weakening at landfall?
HurricaneGeek ( talk) 14:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
According to CBSN, Iota actually had winds 165 mph, so I think we should change that. HurricaneGeek ( talk) 18:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Though, the NHC says that Iota weakened to a high end Category 4 just before making landfall, but the image says that Iota was briefly a Category 5. 🌀 HurricaneGeek🌀 { talk} 11:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Its seems there is an inconsistency in the cost of damages in Nicaragua : 352.5 million in the text and 564 million in the table. Which one is right? According to the reference, the higher number in the table seems to me for the cost for Eta AND Iota, not for IOTA.

This guy, 2600:1700:AED0:0:0:0:0:0/48, was screwing around just earlier. Might be Wyatt2049 or another LTA that we've been dealing with recently. Just putting this out here for the record, and to get more eyes on this. LightandDark2000 🌀 ( talk) 06:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
That was a discrepancy from the Tropical Cyclone Report results from the National Hurricane Center that Hurricane Iota has just been downgraded to Category 4 with a slight decrease in peak wind speed by 5 mph (5 knots) but a slightly lower pressure by 3 mbar (920 --> 917) that made the storm a little more intense. We should keep Iota a category 5 storm for now with the initial peak wind speed of 160 mph (140 kt), which the latest result from the TCR was an unfortunate downgrade for us in terms of wind speed recalculation and accuracy. It was the latest category 5 hurricane on record that it was originally thought by forecasters. If Iota was downgraded, this broke the streak of at least one Category 5 hurricane in each season consecutively since 2016. Since 2020 was the most active hurricane season in total number of storms, I thought we may still have a Category 5 storm during the season, which Iota have peaked out at it! (Trivially, we also had Iota the first and only Greek letter to be a Category 5 storm, as in the case they stopped using Greek alphabet to name storms after the 2020 season.) Can we put Iota back at category 5, or keep the latest significant change at category 4? This will be a possible consensus for a downgrade discrepancy. I don't know why Iota was downgraded from category 5 to category 4? -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 04:03, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

This would be more logical since Iota passed very far from Mexico. Furthermore, I cannot find any other article talking about deaths with Iota in Mexico.

The report about a wind measurement by a ham radio operator in "Wilbi" was copied from an NHC discussion published during the storm. It appears to be a typo. As can be clearly seen by a Google search, "Wilbi" is a common misspelling for Bilwi, the Miskito name for Puerto Cabezas. I cannot find any evidence for the existence of a town called "Wilbi" in northeastern Nicaragua. Puerto Cabezas was very near the epicenter of both Eta and Iota at landfall. It is the only town anywhere nearby, except for a handful of tiny villages that don't have electricity. It seems pretty clear that the report must have been from Bilwi, and that either the ham radio operator or NHC made this typo in the heat of the moment. There is no source for the statement "as the storm moved further inland"; it was probably a guess by the original poster who could not find anything called "Wilbi" near the coast. I am changing it. If you find any believable evidence that the report did not come from Bilwi, please post it here before changing it back. StormWillLaugh ( talk) 14:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Someone wrote the following comment in the "See Also" section:
<!-- Do not add Hurricane Eta or the 1932 Cuba Hurricane as those are already linked to in the main text.-->
Why not? Those are by far the most relevant other hurricanes; almost everyone interested in Iota will want to click on those. Why make them scour the text looking for a buried link? StormWillLaugh ( talk) 15:19, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Dollars (Dólares in Spanish) are referring to US dollar. However, this is not the official damage, thus I slightly change the wording. Damage in Honduras due to Iota was estimated at 120 billion lempiras (US$5 billion).( [3] L245-125 billion)-- 137.189.204.7 ( talk) 15:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Rewrite Together Eta and Iota have killed around 100 Hondurans and local analysts estimate the damage will cost the country more than 10 billion dollars (L244.1 billion)
. 10 billion damage of Honduras is the total of Eta and Iota. Since 5 billion damage is due to Eta, then another 5 billion damage is related to Iota

Hi! Should we add the GIF of Iota weakening at landfall?
HurricaneGeek ( talk) 14:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
According to CBSN, Iota actually had winds 165 mph, so I think we should change that. HurricaneGeek ( talk) 18:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Though, the NHC says that Iota weakened to a high end Category 4 just before making landfall, but the image says that Iota was briefly a Category 5. 🌀 HurricaneGeek🌀 { talk} 11:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Its seems there is an inconsistency in the cost of damages in Nicaragua : 352.5 million in the text and 564 million in the table. Which one is right? According to the reference, the higher number in the table seems to me for the cost for Eta AND Iota, not for IOTA.

That was a discrepancy from the Tropical Cyclone Report results from the National Hurricane Center that Hurricane Iota has just been downgraded to Category 4 with a slight decrease in peak wind speed by 5 mph (5 knots) but a slightly lower pressure by 3 mbar (920 --> 917) that made the storm a little more intense. We should keep Iota a category 5 storm for now with the initial peak wind speed of 160 mph (140 kt), which the latest result from the TCR was an unfortunate downgrade for us in terms of wind speed recalculation and accuracy. It was the latest category 5 hurricane on record that it was originally thought by forecasters. If Iota was downgraded, this broke the streak of at least one Category 5 hurricane in each season consecutively since 2016. Since 2020 was the most active hurricane season in total number of storms, I thought we may still have a Category 5 storm during the season, which Iota have peaked out at it! (Trivially, we also had Iota the first and only Greek letter to be a Category 5 storm, as in the case they stopped using Greek alphabet to name storms after the 2020 season.) Can we put Iota back at category 5, or keep the latest significant change at category 4? This will be a possible consensus for a downgrade discrepancy. I don't know why Iota was downgraded from category 5 to category 4? -- Allen ( talk / ctrb) 04:03, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I need to change the wind speed to 162 mph to 155 mph bc it was a cat 4.
I found reliable sources that say Iota is cat 5! [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usa1285980287 ( talk • contribs) 03:47, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
