I really regret that it's come to this, but the quacking is deafening. Andy Dingley ( talk) 00:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
I was in the process of starting this SPI but Andy Dingley beat me to it. Anyway, Davemos has made three edits so far, all three have restored pages to a version as left by Moylesy98 ( edit one, edit two, edit three). The edit summary of edit one states "having me blocked doesn’t make your harassment or your removal of my images justified", which is as strong a suggestion of block evasion as I've seen in ages; edits one and two reverted edits made by Mjroots ( talk · contribs), the blocking admin (see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Moylesy98 reported by User:David Biddulph (Result:Blocked 2 Weeks )), and edit three undid an edit by Tony May ( talk · contribs), with whom Moylesy98 is having some kind of feud, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains#Dispute resolution needed. This is such a clear case that I have already indef-blocked Davemos and am filing the SPI partly so that the case is on record and partly so that my actions may be reviewed. -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 00:41, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

As the admin that blocked Moylesey98 for edit warring (again), I have absolutely no problem with the block being extended to indef. The community has been far too patient with this editor and it is time that either he complies with the rules, or leaves the project. Mjroots ( talk) 06:04, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

@ Redrose64: I'm not sure what action you want here. Do you want a CU to confirm the relationship? If the relationship is confirmed, do you want the block of the master to be extended to indefinite? Something else?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:49, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
Background: Moylesy98 is currently blocked. There have been tensions between Tony May and Moylesy98 in the run up to that block. The key concern here is that Sockmaster Moylesy98 may be using an IP to evade the block without realising the impact of doing that in making a successful future block appeal. Article has previously been edited by Sock puppet Davemos [1]. Also note image in question was I believe added by Tony May which may be why targeted: [2]. Recent relevant history:

Posting here on the suggestion of Andy Dingley following this discussion. I'm aware that I have previously taken this user to ANI, so I'm more than happy to accept a trouting for this, but I feel it's justified to at least raise the issue...
Moylesy98, on the occasion that they did add citations to their edits, liked to use bare URLs ( [8]) - this IP seems to be the same, as I have yet to experience them using a citation template anywhere in their edits. Their web citations generally consist of a bare URL with (usually) made up titles - see [9], [10], [11]
The IP also has the same poor grammar as Moylesy98 - the latter has entire sections of their talk page dedicated to their incorrect use of "its" and "it's" - this pattern seems to be reappearing with this IP - [12], [13].
Moylesy98 also refused to engage on their talk page - from 2015 to 2018, they only responded twice to the plethora of notices left on their talk page, only starting to engage once they were blocked. They did, however, regularly leave messages on other users' talk pages to air grievances - such as repeatedly at User talk:Tony May, plus at User talk:Redrose64 and User talk:Charlesdrakew. The IP has done the same - not a single response to notices on their talk page, nor did they engage with the ANI they were involved in. However, they have posted on my talk page multiple times at User talk:Danners430/Archive 1#WCR Edits and User talk:Danners430#Black Five Page Tampering.
Finally, it's the same general set of pages being edited by the two editors - pages about preserved steam locomotives, their depots (such as Tyseley Locomotive Works). Danners430 ( talk) 12:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
