Exactly as per e.g. here. I'm 100% sure it's them. I will e-mail further evidence to any admin or clerk upon request.

This one amassed 831 edits, so if someone could do mass rollback, that would be nice. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 17:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need for evidence now per [1]. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 19:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't edit like a new user, constantly moves articles, makes a lot of edits in a short time, edits in the same topics. Yup, this is no doubt SheryOfficial. Please rollback all their edits after their block. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:30, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • They're a pretty good technical match for accounts like Teklobus - blocked, lock requested. Don't have time to do the mass rollback thing right now, will come back to this. Girth Summit (blether) 07:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing case as it's been quite a while and a lot of the account's edits have already been reverted. Mz7 (talk) 06:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Range has made ~100 edits since 12 April 2024, with the edit before that dating from 14 January 2018 and the one before that to 20 September 2016. The user who started editing from the range on 12 April 2024 clearly is very experienced. Topic areas (historical Islamic figures, focus on intersectional religious topics) match and they edit some of SheryOfficial's favorite pages. Despite all that, current behavioral evidence perhaps does not suffice to block. This report is intended to flag the range for future reference, and may be summarily closed. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 11:26, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Struck last two sentences: behavioral is now beyond doubt [2][3][4]. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 13:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Usual focus on spelling- and transliteration-related page moves; same subject areas; some small beans I'm willing to discuss with clerks and admins per e-mail; use of the IP range in the 14 May case above [5][6][7]. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 13:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, this is them alright, third edit already using WP:RM/TR [8], which SheryOfficial loves to use. HistoryofIran (talk) 22:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
