I recently encountered 77.86.17.34, 77.86.4.80 and 87.102.117.210 on Mark Brennan (Neighbours) and articles relating to him (Scott McGregor and List of Neighbours characters) and realised that they were similar to Adelleforever, Adellefan, 87.102.9.51 and 87.102.20.146, who I encountered on Belle Taylor a while back. I believe all of these users and IPs were/are being used by the creator of the oldest account, Gillyh. The user is a fan of certain characters and pairings from Neighbours and Home and Away and does not like it when one or the other leaves. All of these users will edit war and disrupt the articles to get their point across and refuse to accept what has been reported in sources or what has happened on-screen. I found Gillyh and Gilly81 while looking through the history of Charlie Buckton (an article I was working on for GAN) and it took a little while for it to register that the user of those accounts was still continuing to disrupt the project with new accounts. I have also encountered this user offline in forums, which makes me certain all these accounts are connected as the usernames are similar to the named accounts here. I've also had a chance to observe the language patterns as they often post in more than place. I would like to request CheckUser to see if there are any more accounts out there.

 * This case was put up for a checkuser, but there's nothing we can do there, as all of the named accounts are stale. Adelleforever, for example, hasn't edited in eight months. As for the IPs, mostly the same story there, though two have been used recently. A bunch of articles have been protected, and I just blocked 87.102.94.125 for three days. That should be enough for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Just being generally disruptive and a few IPs have been making very similar edits to hers. Examples include, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Brennan_%28Neighbours%29&diff=prev&oldid=425146383, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Neighbours&diff=prev&oldid=238548580, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jack_Swagger&diff=prev&oldid=353123045 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jack_Swagger&diff=prev&oldid=263776943. Requesting Checkuser because I want to ensure that there are no other sleeping accounts out there. 5 albert square (talk) 01:09, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Some more evidence for another IP. Only a few examples this time because the IP has only edited a few times. Examples include http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Home_and_Away&diff=prev&oldid=272803448, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Belle_Taylor&diff=prev&oldid=299853233 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Brennan_%28Neighbours%29&diff=prev&oldid=436541969. Very similar style of editing and just being generally disruptive. 5 albert square (talk) 01:17, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

And again some more evidence of another IP involved. Very similar edits and just being generally disruptive, removing info without saying why etc etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Home_and_Away&diff=prev&oldid=302123918, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Neighbours_characters&diff=prev&oldid=414962985, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Brennan_%28Neighbours%29&diff=prev&oldid=414977519 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Home_and_Away&diff=prev&oldid=272803448 5 albert square (talk) 01:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Three cases were opened here, and I've merged them together. Going forward, in cases like that, you can just add on to original report. Anyway, all of the IPs are blocked. As to running a CU, there isn't much we can do - Gillyh and all of the socks are stale, and we don't really run checks on IPs to see what accounts are attached to them. When there's actual evidence of registered accounts, then we can take a look. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:00, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Making the same sorts of edits to Neighbours and Neighbours-related articles, removing parts of the article when there's a valid reason for them being there. Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ArticleFeedbackv5/Scott_McGregor_%28model%29#258951 feedback on the article Scott McGregor (model), user is attacking anyone who disagrees and seems to idolise McGregor, Gillyh edited in the exact same way which has previously caused the article to be locked. Quacks louder than a duck so I will shortly be blocking the IP and tagging them. This SPI can just be closed, nothing for Checkuser to do at the moment, this seems to be the only recent IP for Gilly. 5 albert square (talk) 21:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Making same sorts of edits to articles, adding incorrect information about actors contracts. Gillyh made this edit, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Neighbours&diff=prev&oldid=238548580, the IP made this edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Summer_Hoyland&diff=prev&oldid=510509877 even though the reference already there quite clearly states her contract was signed in 2011 as the Herald Sun article is from December of that year. It quacks so I've already blocked the IP, just filing this it can be closed. 5 albert square (talk) 00:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
