I don't know who is the "sockmaster", but all of these IPs from Nepal have changed the nationality of Tenzing Norgay in the article. Some diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4. It's mostly only one change per IP address, then a new IP address emerges and makes the same edit. Th4n3r (talk) 14:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * A rangeblock isn't a viable solution, really. It's a /17 and it would appear this user is knowingly or unknowingly hopping around on a dynamic range. There would be a fair bit of collateral damage to block the range, which would cause a lot more damage than the problem it would fix. Right now the frequency of disruption isn't too high but judging by the past things may accelerate to what they were in December 2012. Have you requested protection at RFPP?

 * No, but that seems to be the best solution. This investigation can be closed. Th4n3r (talk) 10:02, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
