Suspected sockpuppets

The first edit here by the sock master was December 16, 2018 on the article Andrew Garfield. After experimenting, the user moved on to a pattern that was used across all IPs listed above with switching birth years to 0001 AD, first done here. Since then, the user has continuously done the same edits (same pattern with switching birth year to 1 AD, and in many cases to January 1 as well) on, most notably, the articles Andrew Garfield and Denise Richards. Many of these IP addresses have been, or were, blocked at one point for such edits. All IPs geolocate to the exact same place in Suphan Buri, Thailand. I've provided one edit per IP address that shows the same edits as evidence of mass sock puppetry, besides the first IP sock that I already showed the edit of above:

Edit by 1.10.183.92 Edit by 125.26.144.2 Edit by 125.26.220.121 Edit by 125.26.113.26 Edit by 125.26.153.237 Edit by 125.26.150.9 Edit by 125.26.105.48

The most recent IP address is 125.26.105.48, who last edited just yesterday. The user keeps hopping onto different IP addresses, so I'll keep adding any if they pop up.

 * Update: User is back today and back to editing on this IP address 1.10.240.220 and and at address 1.20.81.247 as well. Rosalina2427  (talk to me) 15:03, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

This can be handled better by semi-protection - the Garfield article is semi-protected and the Richards article was - than by a sock puppetry case. If an IP is persistent, it can be blocked in the normal way as 125.26.105.48, the latest one to edit, was. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:02, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
