Same topic area (HEC), adding a mention of HEC into an article about an HEC alumnus, request to move a draftified article by BobVillars into mainspace ([1]). Janhrach (talk) 19:50, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I now see that this IP was reported two days ago (as a part of a gigantic /29 range), but at least semiprotection of the affected pages would be useful. Janhrach (talk) 20:01, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Protection should be requested at WP:RFPP. And /29s aren't likely to get any action whatsoever, indeed. Izno (talk) 21:09, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is probably stale as the edits were made yesterday but wanted to add it to the record here as some of the edits were also made back in December. Exact same edit pattern on HEC related article on multiple wikis as the other socks. See here for global edits. The " Éric Lombard" edits done yesterday in parallel with the IPV6 reported yesterday.

• Sure. Page protection should suit for the meantime. Izno (talk) 19:54, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
