- 70.188.184.84 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) was blocked for 31 hours due to repeatedly posting the same external link to Asia (band). The link posted, [4], is the same as posted by the other IPs here, and here, and by Mondrago here. IP 4.238.124.2 also posted a diatribe here that matched a similar post on the user talk of 70.188.184.84, here. If the IPs are not socks, they are certainly meatpuppets working in close concert.

- Additional diffs: IP 70.167.100.82 posted the link here, IP 32.141.139.251 added the link here, 70.188.184.84 adds the link as prose here. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 04:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- Note that Asia (band) has been semi-protected for a week Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 15:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- The above link has been blacklisted. Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 19:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- We are making some, slow progress on the Asia (band) Talk page at resolving the underlying issues that led to this case and the edit war concerned. As discussed there, the contentious link under discussion and another had long been in the article and, I personally feel, are justified under WP:EL. Mondrago et al. were not forcing the link upon the page, but trying to return it. This does not excuse his/their behaviour, but in the spirit of WP:AGF, some clemency may be appropriate. I would like to suggest that any blocks on the article, links or editors concerned not be for too long. Bondegezou (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

- While I concur that discussion should continue, I'm not confident that edits like this one from the editor or editors under discussion here are helpful at all. It's possible that one IP is acting as a good hand, while the others are not. 70.188.184.84 was blocked by me for 31 hours, but that's - to my knowledge - the only block to come out of this, so far.

Heres a bunch more;
Mondrago was indefinitely blocked on Feb 2, 2008 for spamming. It seems that he may be continuing via IP accounts. I am going to ask a checkuser to look at this and consider a range block as needed. Jehochman Talk 14:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

- Conclusions
Holy mackerel! Mondrago is Unrelated, per Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Mondrago. Hu12, if you think the IPs have caused severe disruption via spamming, feel free to place a range block on them. Jehochman Talk 14:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
