Crimea Ukraine articles Hi HJ In the message you left on my talk page here you explained your reasoning for not protecting the relevant articles As my response there indicates I don t share your opinion but I understand where you re coming from In that comment you also said I d really like to avoid protecting them for the duration if that can be avoided but if you keep bringing issues to my attention I ll do my utmost to make your life easier So this is the bring the issues to your attention on my part See this 3RR request filed by User Kudzu1 It s sort of gone past lots of disruptive anon IPs causing trouble on these pages to pretty much full blown sock puppetry and abuse of multiple accounts by at least though likely more one person So How can my life be made easier SPI I already filed one on one sock master though that s probably a different person and some other users have filed others for example The problem is and notice that a CU has not even gotten around to the SPI I filed that by the time the CUs get around to considering these cases the person s behind these accounts have already thrown them away and moved onto new SPAs which keep doing the same thing Not sure what the best course of action here is but it s helluva frustrating trying to deal with this
