 * The two IPs have the same ISP and are located in Anchorage, Alaska.
 * All three accounts edit professional wrestling articles and The Simpsons articles, Gfyd and 216.67 regularly edit Wizard of Oz-related articles despite each of them having less than 150 edits.
 * All three have been involved in an edit war on Edge (wrestler):
 * Gfyd had not made an edit in two months before joining the edit war, he only made his revert after the article received page protection.
 * The two IPs are involved in the same edit war on All About Lisa:
 * Gfyd and 216.67 reverted almost every other Oz the Great and Powerful editor in February and March: LM2000 (talk) 17:37, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

The All About Lisa history page reveals that this likely has gone unchecked for quite some time:
 * goes back to December 2013 and performed mostly reverts, including to Oz the Great and Powerful
 * returned in January 2014 and its first edit was a revert on All About Lisa, also edited wrestling articles
 * was blocked last month, it regularly edited wrestling articles and its first edit was a revert on All About Lisa.

All four mentioned are probably the same, and all were edit warring on "All About Lisa" (see: ). The user was warned about edit-warring several times, but he continued his edit warring well after that using IPs. He should be blocked temporarily.

 * Blocking master one week and IPs for three months. Long block time on IPs is because they are being used primarily to edit war with persistence. Closing.

 * Much like the previous set of IPs, they both are located in Anchorage, Alaska and have the same ISP.
 * As with the previous investigation, both IPs edit professional wrestling and The Simpsons articles.
 * 74.124 engaged in revenge editing after I started the other investigation. It reverted me on two totally unrelated articles without giving a reason in the edit summary.
 * 209.193 continued the edit wars of the IPs blocked last time, on All About Lisa, Oz the Great and Powerful and Sputnik Monroe (wrestler). LM2000 (talk) 17:47, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

This may be another sock, it's in the same IP address block (209.0.0.0) and reverted The Master's reversion: IsraphelMac (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Have indeffed the master (although they seem to have given up on the account in any case). Leaving the IPs unblocked since the owner might have changed given the delay in attending to this report. Have also semi-protected All About Lisa, which seems to the central focus (and has one messy article history!) for three months. report if new IPs crop up or if other page protections are needed.
