I'm seeing a lot of vandalism from IPs in the Middle East, typically tangentially related to the film Radioland Murders and typically involving bogus changes to the cast. Often these changes directly affect the main article, other times the vandals manipulate the actors' articles, etc. IP 185.5.153.45 made edits in these areas including this one where we see him change an actress to Bette Midler. IP 212.215.223.124 circa Jan 2015 changes Mary Stuart Masterson to Pamela Anderson. This is inaccurate. Here we see 95.185.127.27 change Mary Stuart Masterson to Kelly Preston. Here we see 37.16.146.46 change Mary Stuart Masterson to Kelly Preston. Here we see 212.215.223.138 Changing Mary Stuart Masterson to Kelly Preston.

Other examples include 37.16.146.46 changing Estelle Harris' article to attribute roles to Radioland Murders. Similar attributions to David Newman and Kelly Preston.

Some of these IPs geolocate to Jeddah, Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia; ISP: SaudiNet and Riyadh, Ar Riyaa, Saudi Arabia; ISP: SaudiNet. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:39, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Removing CU request (and shifting into the 'open' queue) as there's nothing for CU to do here. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:22, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably the same person changing IPs frequently. There's no much we can do here. None of those IPs is currently active. Blocking one IP won't stop him to switch to another. Try to request page protection if he continues to vandalize certain pages. Closing this now.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
