Possible cross-wiki abuse from Bigshowandkane64[edit]

A few days ago I reverted what I believed to be an IPsock of Bigshowandkane64. Soon afterwards, I received these types of threatening messages on my commons talk page from an IP in retaliation. Today I reverted more sock edits on the same article, and got this message on my Incubator talk. I have no idea how/why the IP found my talk pages on other wikis, but the IP range is currently blocked on both the English wikipedia (see here) and Commons. On Meta Wiki, I have requested the IP range be globally blocked for cross-wiki abuse, but I wonder if it really is being used by Bigshowandkane64. Anyone else who has dealt with BSAK64 in the past ever been harassed on other wikis besides Enwiki? Sro23 (talk) 22:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now certain there is cross-wiki vandalism from Bigshowandkane64, supposedly on wikia now as well. Sro23 (talk) 21:40, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Sro23. I am not sure how many editors or admins have this talk page on their watchlist. If you don't get an answer in the next couple days you might try asking one of the admins who closed a previous report for this pest or you might post a link to this thread at Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations. Thanks for your vigilance in dealing with this. MarnetteD|Talk 21:47, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is the same user who hounded me on my TARDIS Wikia talk page. Ironic that he/she/it accuses us of being cowardly.  :( --Ebyabe talk - Opposites Attract ‖ 22:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good news: the 72.64.0.0/20 range has been globally blocked until August 21. Sro23 (talk) 15:26, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
He's cross-wiki abusing at 2600:1000:b03b:28ab::/64 this time, but I'm not sure if a global block for that range is possible. Sro23 (talk) 22:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
