 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

All these IPs have links to malicious nonsense editong to many UK related articles, more commonly to Southern (train operating company), South West Trains and more recently, ScotRail. Tom... the magic... Tomato Talk  13:48, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit: I would also like to mention that most of these IPs were banned previously by User:Redrose64 but so far seems to be on a rotating IP system, so has had no or little effect. Tom... the magic... Tomato Talk  13:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Correction: I have banned nobody. I have blocked several of the above, for periods varying between 31 hours and 1 week. I have not rangeblocked, because 86.128.0.0/10 would hit a huge number of innocent people. -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

 * On a ridiculously large range. I've protected the most prolifically attacked pages but in the short term the only action that can be taken is semiprotection/whackamole. NativeForeigner Talk 17:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Ie, User:Redrose64 has been dealing with this in the best way possible. NativeForeigner Talk 17:44, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Since a rangeblock wasn't feasible in this situation, I'm doing a trial filter run - see here for more information. m.o.p  23:11, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
