All 3 have very similar IP addresses - the first seven digits are the same - and all 3 put in exactly the same grossly offensive and defamatory vandalism to the article on Katie Waissel. IP user 95.83.253.107 was given a block on 1 June 2014. Has been able to avoid a block on very similar IP addresses. Later given warnings on IP address 95.83.253.227. On the other newer IP address 95.83.253.198, exactly the same grossly offensive vandalism was put into the Katie Waissel article on 28 June 2014. I reported this to AIV and was advised by an admin to report here to WP:SPI.

Please see differences between the article on Katie Waissel as below: Please be advised before reading the differences that the content is exceptionally offensive and defamatory: and

 * Please see further evidence here as well: and  and

Edit: Please be advised that the older IP address is actually and I therefore have now realised that I should have opened the case under that IP address rather than under

Additional edit: I was not aware that you do not run 'CheckUser' for IP-only reports. But given the comment from DoRD below that these dynamic IPs all belong to the same mobile phone provider, I hope that it may be possible after this investigation is completed, for admin to take some form of further action in addition to a block, such as sending an abuse report to the mobile phone provider - given the exceptionally offensive and defamatory edits that the IP has been engaged in.

 * - We do not run checks for IP-only reports. Besides, these dynamic IPs all belong to the same mobile phone provider, so it is possible that the user doesn't even knows that their address is changing. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 21:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The range these IPs are part of is far too busy to block, but I see that the article has been semi-protected by another admin. A number of edits to the article have also been suppressed. If the vandalism resumes after the protection expires, please notify an admin or WP:RFPP to have the protection extended. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 23:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
