Users appear to be engaged in the submission of future episode airdates, typically about a month down the road. The article I've noticed being vandalized in this fashion is SpongeBob SquarePants (season 9). The airdates are never sourced. 71.170.82.125, resubmitted by 71.170.82.125, another future airdate submitted by Patrick61804, which was resubmitted by 98.216.7.107. 99.111.141.118. IP geolocation doesn't quite match for all the IPs, but maybe CheckUser can make sense of it all. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:29, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I'll respectfully bow out of this report. I may have been overzealous in the wake of the vandalism that was ramping up just before Christmas, though I do stand by my gut feeling that there are some undiscovered sock operators working the article I cited above.  A number of redlinking users in the recent edit history are all suspect.  Anyhow, sorry all!  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:57, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

, first, a CU is not going to happen with respect to the IP addresses. Second, there's not enough evidence to support a block of the named account at this point. There are other avenues you can pursue to minimize the disruption to the articles, including reports of edit warring and requests for semi-protection, if appropriate. I'll leave this open for a bit in case you wish to respond.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:53, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
