A collateral damage check for a rangeblock is needed here. I've chosen the most recent IP 91.8.224.127 as the master, and listed five other IPs that I've come across just in the past two weeks. There are many more, all with 91.8.xxx.xxx. WHOIS confirms a German IP range, all associated with disruption of music-related discography articles, removal of all sources as well as huge, sweeping format changes to articles, including featured lists (which always end up reverted by someone). There is definitely a pattern here with this IP range. Can something be done? I can search out more IP examples if needed. Thanks in advance. - eo (talk) 14:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

 * First, CU won't reveal anything about IPs, so that won't work. The range we're looking at here is 91.8.192.0/18 - and I've blocked it for a week as a trial to see if that helps. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:50, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I did check for collateral damage though. Not much collateral damage based on the IPs. The range being 91.8.197.0/18. I would say a good 90 to 95% has been them for the past 2 weeks or so and there doesn't seem to much going on for the past couple of months except for them. Even at the range 91.8.0.0/16, collateral damage does not seem high. Elockid (Alternate) ( Talk ) 14:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Can this range block be extended please? As soon as the last one expired, the vandalism began again (please see archived case). Thanks in advance. - eo (talk) 17:56, 9 February 2011 (UTC) eo (talk) 17:56, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Sure. 91.8.197.0/18 has been blocked for a month now. It's a pretty quiet range, so there is little, if any, collateral damage that I can see. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:13, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
