And many more. Per abuse case (for sock 1 at WP:Abuse response/74.178.195.23). The submitter presented what looks like a SPI case. The evidence is at the talk page. Ebe 123  (+) $talk Contribs$ 10:21, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure why Parrot32X is the master. Certainly not the first, and possibly not part of the group. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:35, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * So why did you put it with the IPs? Sure, maybe that the user isn't the master.   Ebe 123   (+) $talk Contribs$ 11:02, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Because we weren't sure, and it fit the pattern. Please understand, this wasn't an SPI before. It was just a bunch of editors trying to keep track of a serial, IP-hopping vandal. In fact, we can't find a registered master. This is one of the reasons we were reluctant to submit it as an SPI ages ago. Sorry. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I've sorted the list and put asterisks next to the IPs that have edited in the past month. These are all over the place, but I'm hesitant to put down any super long term rangeblocks. Having said that, I've blocked 74.178.192.0/19 for a month, and I've blocked 173.81.190.232 for 3 months. I wasn't aware of this LTA issue, but relist as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, soon this will also be an Abuse Response case too.   Ebe 123   (+) $talk Contribs$ 17:36, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

All IPs are similar to those on this list. All edits regard station slogans, and adding of dubious un-sourced original research. ḾỊḼʘɴίcả •  Talk  •  I DX for fun!  01:28, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I've blocked 74.178.192.0/19 and 173.81.176.0/20 and 98.82.161.115 for a month each. The other 98.82 IPs haven't edited in a few months, so we can let those go for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:41, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

IPs are all engaged in similar edits to station slogans. See also. Also, the IP addresses in the 98.82.xxx.xxx range are all close, indicating someone with a dynamic IP address. The 74.178.xxx are likely a part of this too. This has got to stop! ḾỊḼʘɴίcả •  Talk  •  I DX for fun!  19:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I've merged this case into Parrot32X, as they're almost certainly the same. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:42, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Aside from the two 98.82 IPs, none of the others have edited in months. I've blocked 98.82.224.0/21 for two weeks; hopefully that helps. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:44, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Add another one to this... - note, I am growing tired of having to revert these edits. This is just one of many IPs in this suspected sock. Would a small range block help? If it were me, I would block the IPs as they pop up for about a week or longer. We need more editors looking into this! ḾỊḼʘɴίcả •  Talk  •  I DX for fun!  05:44, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I've blocked 98.82.0.0/17 for two weeks. There will be a bit of collateral damage, but if it means staunching this constant disruption. We can't protect all newschannel articles, unfortunately, and I don't think their edits are consistent enough to write an edit filter for them. You could try asking the edit filter managers about it, though. I'll leave you a note on this as well. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:01, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * It's a bit extreme, but I've blocked 98.82.0.0/17 for a month. This is getting way out of hand. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Editor interaction utility

Exact same pattern of unsourced TV station edits, no communication to talk page posts, and the IP 173 is the same as a number of previous incarnations in this SPI's archives. User:Neutralhomer and I undid countless edits by this user and he concurs. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

 * This geolocates to a completely different area. Not sure this is the right master. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  09:37, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Regardless, someone else has blocked them for vandalism, so moot. Closing. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  16:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
