Talk:Anita_Sarkeesian#Transcribed_request_from_WP:RFPP,
RunnyAmiga transcluded a request from RFPP by an IP user (210.84.13.17). This request (
original diff) was requesting to change the sentence The Tropes vs Women project triggered a campaign of sexist harassment against Sarkeesian
, the same sentence/topic/wording that was an issue for "Eric Ramus" mentioned above. This IP geolocates to Melbourne as well.
Given that both are from the same geolocation and are asking for a change in the same wording on related pages, this seems to be a case of socking to me. Since the original IP was blocked as EVADE of Comet Egypt, I highly suspect this IP is the same user. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:08, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Just noting for the record that I've blocked User:Eric Ramus as yet another CE sock. ‑ Iridescent 19:41, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
