Same articles are being vandalized with random changes with no justification. One account, JustinBoy7767, is currently blocked and now the sockmaster is switching accounts with continued warnings on those. Examples include Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, Interstate 87 (North Carolina) and Jeddah Tower. WashuOtaku (talk) 03:37, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Moved to the oldest account as its probably best that the case is named by an IP if there is an account. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 12:51, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * On reflection, the edits made by the 65. IP have been this kind of vandalism / disruptive editing for a long while. Therefore, the case could be named by this IP, but just incase it changes hands (geolocate says its likely dynamic), I think its best that the case is named by an account. I've the sock, blocked the 65. IP for a month (seeing as it looks like its a bit static) and the 72. IP for a week. Closing.

Continued trend to make exact same edits as before that are incorrect or misleading on mostly the same wiki articles. A couple have already been blocked for continued vandalism. WashuOtaku (talk) 18:59, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

This is a continuing trend from the same person that purposely makes minor edits that are incorrect, like in Interstate 240 (North Carolina), using different sockpuppets. User typically targets the same articles, just get reverted by other editors patrolling or by bots. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:57, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

 * At this point, all the named accounts are blocked for one reason or another. The 2606 IP has been CU rangeblocked.  The 75 IP has not been blocked; I assume if a block made sense, it would have been done at the same time 2606 was blocked, so I'm assuming not.  Which means nothing left to do here, closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Adding unsourced content and edit-warring on one of the articles edited by a CU-confirmed sock 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 16:42, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , Not enough information here to do anything with. Which article?  Which sock?  Which diff? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The user is behaving like JustinBoy. If you see the contribs, they all add subtle factual errors and unexplained changes, and around 99% of them have been reverted (And I reverted the other 5-6 as they were all original research.. He has also vandalized Jeddah Tower, which was mentioned in the beginning of this SPI. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 17:36, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Probably block evasion, and if not, then certainly disruptive editing, for which there's already been two shorter-term blocks. Blocking for a month.  They've also been editing similar tall building topics on kowiki (https://guc.toolforge.org/?by=date&user=218.155.164.106). -- RoySmith (talk) 18:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Subtle vandalism; Adding words like "dumb" just like user:JustinBoy1297 did. Targets Interstate-related articles just like that user, too. CU to check sleepers, as I think there are a lot of hidden socks. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 21:34, 16 November 2020 (UTC) Diff there the the word "dumb" was added: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flash_memory&diff=989058745&oldid=989058356&diffmode=source 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 21:42, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, they but are in the category, and not the investigation. I also recommend not doing edits to the user's talk page like the one I reverted, as the user certainly knows what he is doing after creating this many socks and posting legal threats on his talk page. Per WP:DENY, no unnecessary attention should be brought to his blatantly unconstructive contributions. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 22:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Also blocked . Did we already have Justinboy142 and 5567? I'm about to drop a rangeblock as well. Drmies (talk) 21:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * And Justinboy156? And HammerBro126? It's pretty pathetic. Drmies (talk) 22:01, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * We be done here. I'm putting a fork in it. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:49, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Nonsense edits  and Mario-related user name (it was HammerBro126 a month ago). Already blocked but a sleeper check wouldn't hurt given his past. –Fredddie™ 11:25, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
