Both are pushing a fictitious "Pebble and the Penguin" film supposedly set for December 25, 2017 with no sources, in bad English. Sum mer PhD  (talk) 14:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * 172.132.30.2 = 172.130.242.60 obviously enough. Not sure what options we really have here. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 18:25, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

The 64.xx IP address is registered to Paetec, which is headquartered in New York, while the two 172.xx addresses geolocate to the same area in Virginia, USA with the same provider. Thus it's likely that the two 172.xx addresses are related, but they are not to the 64.xx address. In this case, it looks like all that can be done is block when needed, as there isn't any indication that the IPs are linked to abusive, registered accounts. Currently, the 64.xx account is blocked already and the 172.xx accounts haven't edited in 3 days or so, so I don't think any blocks are necessary right now. Mike V •  Talk  00:46, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

One of numerous IPs adding fake future films to various articles. 64.24.84.2 was recently blocked for socking adding this, 97.73.64.143 is adding the same fake info. Sum mer PhD  (talk) 20:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Good at the time, but stale now. The unblocked IP hasn't edited for around a week. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:15, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
