I had submitted an ARV report on the main IP while they were still online. Unfortunately, the admins failed to respond, and over six hours after the user went offline, the ARV was declined. Areaseven (talk) 17:26, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

 * User:Thingg and I have semi-protected a few of the targets. A range block may be possible if disruption continues, but I think for now protection is the best bet. Mark Arsten (talk) 22:05, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Malaysian IP-hopping vandal continues to troll dozens of articles with false information on the cast of The Wolverine being in several other movies that date all the way back to Black Rain. He also has been making other false claims such as Charice Pempengco starring in The Wolverine.

Some examples include:
 * Yukio
 * Mariko Yashida
 * Shingen Yashida
 * Charice Pempengco
 * Getaway
 * Black Rain
 * Beyond Outrage
 * Why Don't You Play in Hell?
 * List of X-Men films cast members
 * 47 Ronin

I recommend a range block on IP 113.210.XXX.XXX, as protecting articles will not stop him from vandalizing the rest of Wikipedia. Areaseven (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

User has added Tao Okamoto, Hiroyuki Sanada and Rila Fukushima (all of whom starred in The Wolverine to the credits of a whole bunch of movies. This includes the 2011 movies Cowboys & Aliens, In Time and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Fukushima and Okamoto did not have any film credits prior to The Wolverine. I've also seen the user add the same credits (and Hugh Jackman) to Getaway. Those are the most constant edits I've seen from this user. I've reverted edits from this user's IPs a few times and warned them twice. But they just keep on doing what they've been doing. Crboyer (talk) 05:18, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've rangeblocked 113.210.0.0/19 for two weeks, closing now. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

The Malaysian vandal is back. In a span of less than two hours, he vandalized 2013 in film,  Les Misérables: Highlights from the Motion Picture Soundtrack, Runner Runner, Need for Speed, 2014 in film, Real Steel, Escape Plan, and Getaway. At this point, I suggest a longer range block duration. Areaseven (talk) 14:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of this problem before. I spotted some vandalism in a watched thread and then undid the recent contributions from the poster since they were more or less the same vandalism [added 3 actors, though with different roles) to the cast list.AbramTerger (talk) 14:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The vandal's usual M.O. is taking cast names of The Wolverine and posting them on any movie - even those dating back to the 1980s. The most common target among all the films he's vandalized has been Runner Runner. - Areaseven (talk) 14:47, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Further proof that blocking one IP is not enough - the Malaysian vandal continues his spree on Les Misérables, X-Men (film series) and Runner Runner. Areaseven (talk) 02:20, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

As expected, he used another IP address to vandalize Escape Plan, Template:Takeshi Kitano, List of Japanese films of 2013 and Short Peace. - Areaseven (talk) 15:00, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

User claimed Hugh Jackman wrote the Story for Les Miserables and The Wolverine (under X-Men film series). He actually wasn't involved with the writing. Crboyer (talk) 17:49, 22 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's typical of him. He also likes to claim that Takeshi Kitano was involved in American movies such as Escape Plan. - Areaseven (talk) 00:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Latest IP added Hiroyuki Sanada, Rila Fukushima and Tao Okamoto to the credits of Runner Runner on 2013 in film. Then, they shifted them over to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. User in the past has added those three names to films that they never starred in. Case in point: here, here and here. Crboyer (talk) 07:06, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

The vandalism continues on numerous random film articles:

113.210.8.96
 * Top Gear (Series 20)
 * Max Payne
 * Black Rain

113.210.11.65
 * A Good Day to Die Hard

113.210.11.180
 * Max Payne

113.210.13.93
 * A Good Day to Die Hard

113.210.15.137
 * A Good Day to Die Hard

At this point, a longer range block period is highly recommended. Areaseven (talk) 12:45, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I reverted one of this guy's edits and I agreed that he should be blocked for a longer period of time. BattleshipMan (talk) 16:18, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The range is too big to warrant blocking for this amount of disruption. My suggestion is that you report to AIV and/or RFPP and link to this SPI when there is current abuse. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 13:37, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
