This sockpuppet appears to have a long-running campaign against a small group of focus articles including Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2007, Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2008, Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2011, Mission Beach USA. Editor repeatedly removes existing nominee names and shows, replacing them with incorrect and often inappropriate alternatives - e.g. Metallica, South Park, etc. Puts on a good show in the edit summaries, using terms like 'reverted unexplained edits', 'source?', 'reverted vandalism', etc. Seems to be a continuation of previously-blocked IP vandalism dating back some years, visible in the edit histories of the Kids' Choice articles especially.

Becomes threatening and abusive towards editors who revert their edits - e.g. []

 * - - This sounds familiar, could a CU please confirm, run a sleeper check and see if a master pops out while you're checking. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:37, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Named users are all ✅ to one another, but there doesn't seem to be any previous master here. . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:22, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism from this IP address after final warning and expiry of previous block for same activity. Includes the same insertion of inappropriate content in articles relating to children's award shows - e.g. replacement of children's television show names with inappropriate adult content [], [] - which have been a previous focus for this vandal under previous usernames associated with this sock (User:TeenageMutantBingaTurtle, User:NinjaBinga, User:Jockzain, User:MaryDohertyWas'Ere, User:DanFlippingDoherty, User:NinjaDan1989) - Hallmark behaviour, apart from edits to the same Kids' Choice Awards articles, includes introducing incorrect information to articles, then edit-warring with editors who revert the vandalism, with apparently convincing edit summaries requesting detailed (but knowingly vexatious and pointless) clarification for why their edits were reverted without explanation, etc. Bonusballs (talk) 11:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism against articles including Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards, Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2007, Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2011‎, and pop articles including Ellie Goulding. Same pattern of abusive and vexatious editing while superficially appearing to be upholding wikilaw. Bonusballs (talk) 13:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC) Bonusballs (talk) 13:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The IPs are kinda on the stale end for blocking now. However, I've semi-protected the page for a month. Mike V • Talk 23:21, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

resumption of vandalism against small group of focus articles, after blocks to previous IPs. Latest IP traces back to same ISP and country as previous abuse. Requested page protection at RFPP but this was denied on the grounds of "insufficient activity". Bonusballs (talk) 15:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC) Bonusballs (talk) 15:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Resumption of previous behaviour, persistent vandalism of Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2007, with the tell-tale additions of 'Skins' and 'Metallica' to voting categories [] matching previous long-running vandalism sprees by this sockpuppet, e.g. [] 80.x IP address shows typical behaviour outside of the focus on the Nick article, touching other articles previously affected by their LTA including [].

 * I blocked the 80 IP for a month. There is no evidence provided for the 108 IP, so I'm closing this.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  11:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, I blocked the 108 IP for two weeks.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  11:36, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

This seemingly stable IP address returned immediately after its long-term block expired to make the same sorts of edits on Nickelodeon UK Kids' Choice Awards 2007. Sro23 (talk) 22:42, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

This edit is exactly the same as this edit. Seems to be the same sock. --  Dane talk  00:32, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
