 * Suspected sockpuppets

Apparently this doesn't qualify as a "quick case", even though I think it does. Known IP range, all known socks already blocked, simply requesting a check to make sure a hard block won't cause collateral damage and a sweep for other accounts.

Anyway, WP:Requests for checkuser/Case/Alis.Payan describes our problem child ... long-term anonymous and sockpuppeting vandalism, all from a subrange in the Dominican Republic which she is the only apparent editor using. Today I noticed her inserting herself into the cast of Camp Rock 2, which is one of her historic editing areas.

200.88.94.0/24 was soft-blocked for 90 days the last time, and that expired 11 days ago. I've gone through the last 100K edits and is her only case of anonymous editing. Given the results of the last checkuser, I requested at ANI that the hardblock for the range be extended by 6 months. A hardblock was refused without a checkuser confirming that there were no legitimate accounts using the range.&mdash;Kww(talk) 12:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * One named account has been found this time around:, responsible for creating , a film starring no one other than Alicia Payan, one of Alis.Payan's already blocked sock accounts. BreeHill12 has already been indefinitely blocked, but, given Alis.Payan's persistence, a sweep of the IP range for named accounts seems in order.&mdash;Kww(talk) 22:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Another IP in the range editing since the block expired that is clearly her: &mdash;Kww(talk) 16:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comments by other users
 * Viewing Special:Contributions/200.88.94.0/24 suggests that User:Alis.Payan is the source of all the anonymous edits in this range, at least since the beginning of 2008 (based on topics of interest to this editor). Since there is extensive past abuse, it seems justified that a checkuser could search this range, at least to estimate the collateral damage from a hard block. Named editors who contribute to topics other than show business are unlikely to be Alis.Payan. EdJohnston (talk) 19:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Please create a normal case. I don't think this is what "quick cases" was intended for. Here you have a master account, so create a case by clicking this link. Doing so lets us have an archive/history of the case as cases here are *not* archived. ——  nix eagle email me 20:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, the idea is to keep track of the cases that can be useful later on. -- lucasbfr  talk 11:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

. Pretty much zero change of collateral damage. Feel free to block the range, if you want to. --Deskana (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. Blocked the range with account creation blocked, and autoblock disabled. -- Kanonkas : Talk  22:50, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
