- Well, you just confirmed that you continued to edit on pages you have a topic ban from. That's probably grounds for a permanent ban, but I'll cc: @ Crossroads: and @ Flyer22 Frozen: to check I'm correct on that. Also, the revert I made on your edit on the Nicholas Cummings article was because you cited the book "Making Gay Okay: How Rationalizing Homosexual Behavior Is Changing Everything". This is not a reliable nor appropriate source. There was also no need to make an entire section dedicated to Cummings beliefs about removal of homosexuality from the DSM. You are POV pushing. It would be adequate to have a few sentences under "Professional career" section, and linked to a more appropriate source. Sxologist ( talk) 05:57, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

- Only the clerk, checkusers, and/or patrolling admins usually comment in this section, but since Mz7 doesn't seem to mind in this case... Mz7, our WP:CheckUser policy also states, "When announcing the results of their checks, CheckUsers will employ a variety of means to avoid connecting a user to an IP address, but in some cases it is hard to avoid doing so. This policy encourages English Wikipedia CheckUsers not to allow such connections to be made from their results, but the global privacy policy allows them to do so in the case of serious disruption, and this policy allows CheckUsers to prioritise compliance with Wikipedia policy over the personal privacy of a user who has abusively edited the encyclopedia. In some situations, while CheckUsers can endeavour to avoid explicitly connecting an account to an IP address, they will find it difficult or impossible not to do so. For instance, when a user edits disruptively using multiple IPs, or a mixture of IPs and accounts, the CheckUser will find it difficult to block the accounts and then the IP addresses without an obvious inference being drawn by onlookers from the series of blocks being made in a short period of time. When a user abusively uses several accounts and it is reasonably plausible they will create more accounts, the underlying IP range must be blocked so further abusive accounts cannot be made. The IP addresses and user accounts must therefore be blocked together." No need to ping me if you reply. Flyer22 Frozen ( talk) 03:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

- Right, and I have blocked the four IP ranges I listed precisely because the IP admitted to being Lazy-restless. The reason CU is declined is because the CU policy prohibits us from publicly connecting specific IPs to specific accounts (in this case the প্রলয়স্রোত account). The general practice at WP:SPI is that if you ask us to run a check to determine whether a specific user is using a specific IP address, we will publicly decline to run that check.

Sxologist, thanks for opening this. As you now found out like I once did, CheckUser won't be done for IPs, and CheckUser data expires after a while
(pretty sure it's 6 months). But I'm glad to see this worked out even without that. I suspected it may be him too. Regarding a permanent ban, see WP:Blocks and bans; but this is both WP:Block evasion and topic ban evasion, so it certainly will not help him get his block lifted, nor his topic ban if he were to pursue that one day.

Check declined by a checkuser. The privacy policy prohibits CheckUsers from connecting user accounts to their IP addresses, and in any case the master account, Lazy-restless, is 
Stale. Because of the admission above, I have temporarily blocked the following ranges for 1 week:
- 43.245.120.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial))
- 43.245.121.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial))
- 103.67.159.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial))
- 116.58.205.0/24 ( block range · block log ( global) · WHOIS (partial))
- Unfortunately, there is going to be collateral damage with these blocks, so a week is already relatively long I think. I have not yet reviewed the behavior of the প্রলয়স্রোত account.
Note: This case was originally filed under "103.67.159.165"; I have moved it under Lazy-restless.

- Looks like this should have been filed under
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lazy-restless. 103.134.25.90
admitted they were Lazy-restless on bnwiki, and this new Bangladeshi IP editing the same obscure draft is probably the same person per
WP:DUCK. I would block here, but because the range seems to be dynamic, and this particular IP address hasn't edited in a couple days, I think it is too stale for action.
Clerk assistance requested: Please merge this case to Lazy-restless, and I would close without action. Thanks,

- Closing since the IP hasn't edited in a month - our fault, not yours. Note that this /24 is one that was blocked last year for self-admitted block evasion. As a matter of technical interest: Spur is telling me that the IP they edited from is hosting some callback proxies, and poking around Spur's database with my API key shows a lot of similar sketchy callback proxies on that range, though I can't tell whether it's because a lot of the range is hosting proxies or it's because there are a couple of very dynamic IPs hosting those proxies. Anyway. Closing without action. GeneralNotability ( talk) 02:13, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Has posted a deletion review of Kalki Avatar and Muhammad, a subject that was seemingly repeatedly recreated by the master. There seems to be an interest in Indo-Iranian topics to this IP, which is another something in common. Also of note is the lengthy block log for being a proxy by the proxy block bot.

Bringtar logged in after more than 1.5 years just to save the article on Ved Prakash Upadhyay created by this sockmaster. [8] [9]
Another IP which was significantly used to rescue this article is 202.134.10.141. It is currently blocked for block evasion.
Bringtar used to add gross WP:BLP violations and problematic content on List of converts to Islam from Hinduism of more than 30,000 bytes. [10] Nobody ever cared to restore the defective and gross WP:BLP violating version of 30,000 additional bytes in these 2 years except this new proxy IP sock, 202.134.10.130 which is now blocked. However, this same proxy IP also edited about Ved Prakash Upadhyay. [11]
Here as 202.134.10.130, he "doubt about one or more accounts being sock recently
". He is clearly talking about me here, same as what Bringtar was doing
here.
Looks like a duck to me.

4 months ago, Bringtar had edited after nearly 2 years to vote for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ved Prakash Upadhyay [22] after he was blocked on his IP sock. [23]
Now 2 days ago, Bringtar logged in after 5 months to reinstate edits of Lazy-restless on List of converts to Islam from Hinduism [24] after his IP socks were blocked as per the last SPI. [25] [26]
These two edits similarly large edits by both Lazy-restless and Bringtar on this same article should leave no doubt. [27] [28]
Lazy-restless (with his confirmed sock Deepmason) and Bringtar complained the same user about their edits to List of converts to Islam from Hinduism. [29] [30]
Bringtar has also asked আফতাবুজ্জামান to explain why he reverted socks of Lazy-restless as if it was a wrong thing. [31]

Inconclusive, and I'm straight up closing this SPI. The
List of converts to Islam from Hinduism page is just POV pushing from two sides all over its history, the AfD evidence was analysed
previously, and quite frankly this filing seems

- Unfortunately, there is going to be collateral damage with these blocks, so a week is already relatively long I think. I have not yet reviewed the behavior of the প্রলয়স্রোত account.
Note: This case was originally filed under "103.67.159.165"; I have moved it under Lazy-restless.

- Looks like this should have been filed under
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lazy-restless. 103.134.25.90
admitted they were Lazy-restless on bnwiki, and this new Bangladeshi IP editing the same obscure draft is probably the same person per
WP:DUCK. I would block here, but because the range seems to be dynamic, and this particular IP address hasn't edited in a couple days, I think it is too stale for action. Clerk assistance requested: Please merge this case to Lazy-restless, and I would close without action. Thanks,

- Closing since the IP hasn't edited in a month - our fault, not yours. Note that this /24 is one that was blocked last year for self-admitted block evasion. As a matter of technical interest: Spur is telling me that the IP they edited from is hosting some callback proxies, and poking around Spur's database with my API key shows a lot of similar sketchy callback proxies on that range, though I can't tell whether it's because a lot of the range is hosting proxies or it's because there are a couple of very dynamic IPs hosting those proxies. Anyway. Closing without action. GeneralNotability ( talk) 02:13, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

IP abuse can be already confirmed with this diff.
This account is badgering the AfD same way he did it with his earlier socks. [5] [6]

Check declined by a checkuser - all related accounts appear to be several years old, checkuser is highly unlikely to return a conclusive positive result. Note that the subject user is a sysop and interface admin on the bangladeshi wikiquote.

Has posted a deletion review of Kalki Avatar and Muhammad, a subject that was seemingly repeatedly recreated by the master. There seems to be an interest in Indo-Iranian topics to this IP, which is another something in common. Also of note is the lengthy block log for being a proxy by the proxy block bot.

Bringtar logged in after more than 1.5 years just to save the article on Ved Prakash Upadhyay created by this sockmaster. [8] [9]
Another IP which was significantly used to rescue this article is 202.134.10.141. It is currently blocked for block evasion.
Bringtar used to add gross WP:BLP violations and problematic content on List of converts to Islam from Hinduism of more than 30,000 bytes. [10] Nobody ever cared to restore the defective and gross WP:BLP violating version of 30,000 additional bytes in these 2 years except this new proxy IP sock, 202.134.10.130 which is now blocked. However, this same proxy IP also edited about Ved Prakash Upadhyay. [11]
Here as 202.134.10.130, he "doubt about one or more accounts being sock recently
". He is clearly talking about me here, same as what Bringtar was doing
here.
Looks like a duck to me.

- 202.134.8.129 is blocked for block evasion now. This IP sock has exhibited his deep interest with List of converts to Islam from Hinduism just like Bringtar [12] [13] but he also lamented getting "Template:Ds/alert" on the "Bringtar" account on ANI.

Globally blocked user:Lazy-restless (his sock User:Lavito principa) created Pak-Bangla language article & was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pak-Bangla language. Now same article is created by this IP as Draft:Bengali language in Arabic script with exactly the same text (see the deleted version on https://en.everybodywiki. com/Pak-Bangla_language (remove the space from url to work, unable to save the edit with space).

4 months ago, Bringtar had edited after nearly 2 years to vote for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ved Prakash Upadhyay [22] after he was blocked on his IP sock. [23]
Now 2 days ago, Bringtar logged in after 5 months to reinstate edits of Lazy-restless on List of converts to Islam from Hinduism [24] after his IP socks were blocked as per the last SPI. [25] [26]
These two edits similarly large edits by both Lazy-restless and Bringtar on this same article should leave no doubt. [27] [28]
Lazy-restless (with his confirmed sock Deepmason) and Bringtar complained the same user about their edits to List of converts to Islam from Hinduism. [29] [30]
Bringtar has also asked আফতাবুজ্জামান to explain why he reverted socks of Lazy-restless as if it was a wrong thing. [31]
Looks like a duck to me.

Inconclusive, and I'm straight up closing this SPI. The
List of converts to Islam from Hinduism page is just POV pushing from two sides all over its history, the AfD evidence was analysed
previously, and quite frankly this filing seems
retaliatory.
