The Bad Girls Club articles are constant source of socking, and I've honestly long suspected this account. SPIs related to this show are Thestarborn1028, BadGirlsClub10, TheSimsBadGirlsClub, and Shannon9077.

Also see this ANI: Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive934 as well as this old case Special:Contributions/Clippers18

A portah29 restored edits made by the now-blocked user The Texas state. Compare to. Compare and.

Texas and Parker appear connected, the latter being created days after the former was blocked: compared to

There was a string of disruptive accounts created in March and beginning of April, all targeting Bad Girls Club articles:
 * March 8 -
 * March 19 -
 * March 22 -
 * March 29 -
 * April 1 -
 * April 3 -
 * April 6 -

Honestly there's too many socks to demonstrate exact behavioral evidence. I am trying to demonstrate that there is a lot of SPAs and disruptive accounts all targetting the same set of articles, and many have a similar naming pattern.

Given the prevalence of socking on these articles (as mentioned in the above-linked ANI), I'm asking for CU to (1) confirm the connection of these accounts and (2) look for yet-known connections.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 19:05, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you ! Looks like the Texas group are the ones adding the fake cast members whereas Portah are the ones changing the reasons cast members are removed/left the show.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 21:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * A portah29 and Parker7980 are ✅, blocked and tagged. The Texas state is .--Bbb23 (talk) 20:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The fashionable baby and Thebgcbaffie are ✅ to The Texas state and are blocked without tags.
 * The following accounts are to anyone, although some of the technical results are odd:
 * Cuteages
 * Charlie201965
 * Izzyloc123

 * Cute and Izzy have two identical edits that match between them but it is conceivable that this is coincidental so closing with no further action.
