Evidence submitted by Ebyabe
IP addresses making the same unsourced edits to a series of articles for the last month. Being done almost every day, sometimes twice a day. Articles in question include Singing in the Twins Wonderland (Volume 1), Singing in the Twins Wonderland (Volume 2), Singing in the Twins Wonderland (Volume 4), The Chipmunks Go to the Movies (album), The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits.

They were doing similar style of edits to Josh Groban related articles (Josh Groban, A Collection (Josh Groban album), Closer (Josh Groban album), Template:Josh Groban), but gave that up after a couple of weeks.

Each new IP address is being block for a 1-to-2 day period, but that isn't really solving the problem. Maybe a range block is in order? Thanks. --Ebyabe (talk) 15:16, 31 July 2010 (UTC) Ebyabe (talk) 15:16, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

 * From what we can tell, another IP, 113.22.42.227 has been making the same edits as the other IPs above in the related articles today based on this and similar edits mentioned above. At the very least, we can also tell that this IP and the other IPs are all based in Vo Van Tan, Vietnam. Just something to keep in mind. Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I've placed a rangeblock on 113.22.0.0/17, which should at least slow him/her down. Worth keeping an eye out for other IPs though. Best, Peter Symonds ( talk ) 19:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

. Also appears to have used a 117.x.xxx.xxx IP, just after a page block expired. Have tagged all suspect IPs, which can be seen at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of 113.160.112.78 Ebyabe (talk) 16:56, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

118.71.0.0/16 blocked 1 week. Most of the edits seems to be them. I also semi-protected some of pages that have been targeted by multiple IPs.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 17:56, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Engaging in same type of edits as other previous IPs. Possibly another range block is in order? --Ebyabe (talk) 13:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC) Ebyabe (talk) 13:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Glancing through the contributions of the /16, I don't see any evidence of IP hopping since the last rangeblock. Let's let it go for a bit and see what happens. Marking for close. TN X Man 14:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
