All IPs and master have been making a variety of unsourced/unexplained changes to List of Supernanny episodes. All have received multiple talk requests and warnings. None have used edit summaries or edited talk pages. All IPs trace to southern UK. (The handful listed above are the most recent, with numerous others in the article's history.) All IPs and the master use the construction "a (age)-year-old boy/girl called (name)". (Some of the IPs are part of a similarly recurring situation at List of America's Supernanny episodes not otherwise discussed here.)

 * I took a look, and only one IP address has violated the sock puppetry policy:, which looks like a WP:DUCK to me and which I have blocked for 48 hours for block evasion. The other IP addresses have not made edits after the Kerry Pentlow account was blocked or are otherwise too stale for a block at this time. I've gone ahead and semi-protected the List of Supernanny episodes for a week and extended the master's block to indefinite, given their lack of communication. Mz7 (talk) 21:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Same targets (List of Supernanny episodes, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). IP geolocates to same area of southern UK. Sum mer PhD v2.0 16:01, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Another IP returning to disrupt List of Supernanny episodes and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse lists after expiration of page protection. As previously, changes make little inherent sense and IP traces to southern UK. Sum mer PhD v2.0 21:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

I filed this case erroneously. While the IP listed is clearly another older sock, I meant to list their current IP. That IP has now been blocked. This note is for the record. Thanks. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 23:09, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

 * While we appreciate the documentation, the IP stopped editing a month ago and is dynamic, meaning that blocking it won't do any good at this point. Closing. GABgab 22:04, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

82.25.184.18 and 82.20.190.222 are clearly Kerry Pentlow. Both trace to Southern UK (as have all IPs in prior sock cases) and are making unexplained date/location/age/name changes at List of Supernanny episodes, like the master and all prior IPs. Both have edited Coach Trip (further tying the two IPs together). Yes, they are stale and there is nothing to be done with them. I detail them to connect Piattiv to the master here.

Piattiv has now made an unexplained location change at List of Supernanny episodes, which is currently protected (blocking the IPs).

Piattiv and 82.20.190.222 share the unlikely intersection of List of Supernanny episodes and articles about windstorms (Piattiv’s 2015–16 Australian region cyclone season, 2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, etc. and 82.20.190.222’s 2016–17 UK and Ireland windstorm season, Template:Weather events in the United Kingdom, etc.).

The IPs and Piattiv have zero editing conflicts.

Piattiv made one edit on 2/23/2016 at 3:36 PM 82.25.184.18 then began editing at 3:37 PM Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:05, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't see a connection here. The named account is older than the master by far, and has only a minimal interest in the master sole subject of interest. Closing without action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:30, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I do notice this sock of HarryPotterFan4747 had an interest in hurricanes. Could be a coincidence. HarryPotterFan4747 was a numerical vandal, though. I haven't looked into this at all. Don't know that we ever got geolocation info on Potter. But as a general observation, kids' TV and hurricanes is a unique combo. I know this comment isn't terribly helpful. Sorry.
