• Blocked the IP for 31 hours; hopefully autoblock will catch him if he tries to evade. A quick CU to catch any sock puppets might be in order, but I've not clerked this process since it was renamed from RFCU, so I'll defer to the judgement of those with more experience. AGK 23:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

{{SPIclose|archive}}

I've imposed a few rangeblocks based on the LTA thread, which should stifle him. Unrelated to this new creation, though, so closing for now per AGK's block. PeterSymonds (talk) 23:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment I'm impressed that she keeps coming up with new variations on her name to bypass those that are salted.

{{sock list|1=Tryingwithheart|tools_link=yes}}

It appears that this relatively new user, Tryingwithheart, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tryingwithheart&oldid=1271552627 who has declared a COI with Ananny], is attempting to make an article for her, and was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tryingwithheart/sandbox&oldid=1271578043 starting an article] in their user sandbox, before [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tryingwithheart/sandbox&oldid=1272592017 deciding to blank it entirely].

Tryingwithheart asked user Lajmmoore on their talk page how they could get started with editing (I think Tryingwithheart did so as part of our mentorship program). Tryingwithheart seems to word their request somewhat oddly, as I cannot tell whether their mention of "an encouragement to persist in writing the article" is about Ananny's previous socking, which dates back nearly 20 years by this point (according to the LTA page). Tryingwithheart also states "[t]here is no payment involved [in writing the article] whatsoever."

Lajmmoore noted on the talkpage for the Women in Red WikiProject that Ananny's name was added to one of their lists of redlinks previously, although I do not know by who.

Disclaimer that various Canadian IPs, who may or may not be Ananny, still attempt to add her name to various lists such as List of Canadian artists from time to time. The last occurrence I could find of this was on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Canadian_artists&diff=prev&oldid=1221075289 27 April 2024] by IP 70.50.88.232 on the Canadian artists list page. The IP geolocates to Ottawa, Ontario. :User:Wizzito | :User talk:Wizzito 06:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

I've set indefinite pending changes protections to List of Canadian artists to deal with the IP disruption. The account though honestly looks more like another person engaging in WP:MEAT, but then they went and self-reverted everything they were working on. Given that they haven't edited anything else at all I guess a block probably won't hurt, but I'd appreciate further input here. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:54, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

• {{admin note}} I looked independently from Rosguill, but came to the same conclusion that is more likely to be meat puppetry. The editing pattern, approach, and format of the draft article is not a match to the master. I, however, would not block the new account, which has attempted to follow wikipedia processes by self-declaring and using sandboxes and draft space instead of article space. Noting that the AfC submission was declined, and assuming good faith on the part of the new account, I'm closing with no action at this time. DrKay (talk) 09:40, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
