Racist and anti-semitic abuse, and now death threats, appears to have skirted the block on {{user|The cheapo}}, all apparent named acounts blocked.

The random username vandal goes on template tagging sprees. Hopefully this is a one off incident, but I'll leave this here in case problems continue. If they do, hopefully the underlying range is small. [[User:Spellcast|Spellcast]] ([[User talk:Spellcast|talk]]) 17:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

For over a month now, I've been dealing with this persistent vandal who keeps adding bogus info into certain film/TV related articles, and he operates from those two ranges I've listed above. I have made an '''[[Wikipedia:ANI#Long_Term_IP_Vandalism|AN/I report]]''' about it, and an admin is afraid of blocking the ranges without knowing whether it will cause collateral damage or not. We would like a CheckUser to be done on these ranges to know if it will cause any collateral damage or not, and whether they should be blocked or not. --'''[[User:AAA!|<span style="color:red">AAA!</span>]]''' <small>([[User talk:AAA!|<span style="color:green">AAAA</span>]])</small> 20:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
*They are extremely active ranges. You could try blocking anonymous editors only, but allow account creation; if the vandal creates accounts that will help us track down his activities. A hard block would cause a lot of problems. [[User talk:Thatcher|Thatcher]] 21:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

:::I have blocked both ranges, but I have allowed account creation on them both. AAA, if you happen to see a similar pattern of vandalism to those types of articles, let a checkuser know. (be sure you have lots of evidence, as in several days worth showing the pattern).

Continued disruption from this vandal
Persistent, irritating vandal who keeps creating new accounts in order to make edits like these: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=PowerBook_100&diff=230785907&oldid=230785571]

: While it's not Primetime, far as I can see, it's hard to block IPs or ranges here, as they cover a large range of IPs.

===ShiningPath===
*{{checkuser|ShiningPath}}
ShiningPath is an SPA, appears to have assimilated WP conventions instantly, then disappeared after having removed links s/he didn't like from several hundred pages. Can this user be checked as a possible sockpuppet? Thank you, [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] ([[User talk:Badagnani|talk]]) 19:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

*'''Comment''' - The edits were questionable and it seems likely that this is a longtime editor who did not want any repercussions for his/her removals of websites from many dozens, or hundreds of articles. Most importantly, I was under the impression that it's not permissible to have multiple registered accounts, whether or not the editor believes it's justifiable.

: Per [[WP:SOCK]], you actually ''can'', but it's in your best interests to declare the links. Deliberately avoiding scrutiny while being disruptive is a no-no, but I'm not seeing that here - [[User:Alison|<span style="color:#FF823D;font-family:Monotype Corsiva">'''A<font color="#FF7C0A">l<font color="#FFB550">is</font>o</font>n'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Alison|❤]]</sup> 19:45, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
::I think the response depends on who the main account is (if there is one). If the user is blocked or has a long block log and a reputation for acting contentiously, then it might be acceptable to disclose the main account. If the user is in good standing, then there may be no reason to declare the other name; on the other hand, the SPA has given up the ability to comment meaningfully on the issue when editors restore the links. So I checked; there is nothing obvious. This is a textbook case of {{fishing}}. The question "Who is X" is often much harder to answer than, "Is X related to Y." Here, nothing stands out.
