SPI ID question
[edit]Hey, I'm getting around to opening a SPI ticket for a particular LTA attested effusively at, inter alia,

Does this one have a case? You seem to be the most aware of their existence so far. They are incredibly prolific not to have one, it's bizarre. Remsense ‥ 论 20:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Remsense: There's no SPI case, as far as I know, and I've never caught them using a named account. I've been reverting their useless edits for the past four years or so. In the beginning, their IPs geo-located to Iran, but for the past 4 years, they've been editing from UAE. As you have observed, their MO is easily recognized, but also easily contained according to WP:RBI. Favonian (talk) 21:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Right—that was my MO before, but I've found caches that are months or years old of their uncorrected edits. After bringing them up while chatting with other editors, they recommended I consider filing at SPI about it, but obviously the risk and reward are both comparatively low since they don't use named accounts. Remsense ‥ 论 21:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Some editors who deal with incessant IP hopping LTAs create a subpage(s) (sort of like a personal WP:LTA page) that they link to when reverting the edits and/or requesting blocks at AIV. An epic example is User:EvergreenFir/socks.-- Ponyobons mots 21:33, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- An example to strike performance anxiety in us all. Favonian (talk) 21:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Coda: User:Remsense/Girlboss LTA. If people could get annoyed at that label I'll gladly change it, but I genuinely couldn't think of another that would better suit the purpose and people could actually remember. Remsense ‥ 论 08:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- The title is spot on, not that it'll stop those inclined to indignation. Favonian (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Fingers crossed I'm on the right side of history here. Remsense ‥ 论 15:19, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

You protected last year. Most edits awaiting review were rejected, if not all. Longer protection period is required. 197.238.67.97 (talk) 22:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- That could be construed as a violation of WP:PREEMPTIVE. Let's wait and see what happens when the current PC expires. Favonian (talk) 08:21, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
