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)
The fact that they're socks is pretty obvious (see [[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Way4743]]): based on name of accounts, and they've been vandalizing [[Carly Smithson]] and other articles in common, and their own talk pages, all day. An IP check to find any unused socks, and see if a rangeblock would have too much collateral damage, would be appreicated. I'm filing this for Tanthalus, because he can't stand following directions. --[[User:Barneca|barneca]] ([[User talk:Barneca|talk]]) 22:20, 30 July 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)

:IPs were collected from AAA's contribs, so apart from sorting them into the two ranges, most recent IPs will be listed first. – <span style="font-family: Garamond">[[User:Luna Santin|<font color="#1E90FF">'''Luna Santin'''</font>]] ([[User talk:Luna Santin|talk]])</span> 21:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
::According to {{u|Rjd0060}} on IRC, the ranges that those IPs are covered in are actually the following ranges:
::*{{checkip|69.19.14.0/26}}

:::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). No existing accounts will be affected by the block. —— '''[[user:nixeagle|<font color="navy">nix</font>]][[User talk:Nixeagle|<font color="red">eagle]]'''</font> 17:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Individual useraccount blocks are not working and I have been unable to identify the underlying IP address. (By the way, this is my first checkuser request.

: The request is really messed up actually :) but however, the IP has now been blocked for a number of months.
