Accounts making near identical unsourced and very dubious edits on articles about TV shows, such as The X Factor (New Zealand TV series), which all three have edited (FG789, TTA80, OCD7). TTA80 started editing right after FG789 had reached level-3 warnings, and OCDF7 in turn started editing once TTA80 had reached level-3. All edits by all three are tagged as "Mobile edit. Mobile web edit." and neither of the user accounts uses edit summaries. Thomas.W talk 22:08, 20 July 2014 (UTC) Thomas.W talk 22:08, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

I got alerted to this on my talk page as I edit one of the pages involved. All the accounts quacked so I have blocked them all 5 albert square (talk) 00:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

On the X Factor pages we don't mark the judges by the series they have appeared in, we do it by the years. This was explained to the original account but they carried on and got blocked for disruptive editing turning into a permanent block when multiple other accounts came to light.

I got an email from the editor the other day and I explained what to do if they didn't agree with the block.

I'm also needing to find out if Teamvalley is related. This edit was made to FG789's talk page after many days of me explaining the unblocking process to them. Then a couple of hours after this, Teamvalley started making disruptive edits, including to the X Factor pages. Examples:

this

this

I'm requesting CheckUser because I am concerned that they may have created sleeper accounts as they would expect this one to be blocked. I think the original SPI ended up having 3 users mentioned. 5 albert square (talk) 02:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC) 5 albert square (talk) 02:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

I am requesting CheckUser because the user constantly emails me to tell me that being blocked will not stop them editing. Therefore requesting CheckUser for sleepers. 5 albert square (talk) 18:36, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
