All of those IP addresses are engaged in edit-warring over 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix where they remove content covering the protests. One of them (identified as sockmaster) mentioned having "hundreds of ip-addresses" and that "it is in no way wrong to edit in a way one thinks to be for general good".

I also have suspensions that user:Prisonermonkeys may be the real sockmaster, but perhaps using different IPs on his sock attacks, hence I don't think a check user is going to be helpful. What makes me think this is that he/she removed the protest section in the article on 09:04, 19 April 2013 and 14:39, 19 April 2013‎, which the IPs did too on 17:32, 21 April 2013, 17:55, 21 April 2013, 09:33, 22 April 2013‎ and 12:44, 22 April 2013. But when his focus shifted to the lead section starting from 07:18, 23 April 2013 the IP attention now shifted to the lead only, leaving the protest section alone  despite saying previously that they will "take away every mention of protests". He also displayed an edit war behavior similar to that of the IPs, but of course he looks more polite than them (see article history).  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  17:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I also believe Prisonermonkeys might have felt he needed to use socks after he was warned against edit-warring by another user . You may also notice from the article's history that IPs stopped edit warring between 22 April and 1 May, during which Prisonermonkeys has made four reverts and stopped after getting warned.

 * I've protected the article per the "I have hundreds of IPs" to enforce my preferred version commentary. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

After the article was semi-protected, the first IP targeted my talk page making similar comments to those in a previous edit summary (compare to ). Then it moved to blank some articles that I created, but soon after it was blocked as a Single-purpose account. The second IP removed the comments on talk with edit summary "ok no vulgarities here". I guess semi-protecting my user and talk page for a short period should be fine, since the IP ranges (according to ) are too far.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  09:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Closed. The second IP was reverting the first's vandalism. Your userpage was not targeted, and user talk pages are only protected in response to severe, continued vandalism. Also, the first IP has been blocked. If you encounter more vandals, report them to WP:AIV, not here. Reaper Eternal (talk) 02:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
