These are the sockpuppets of User:Pierceybrian22 that I could find going back to the beginning of this year. His edits are singularly focused on topics for Now That's What I Call Music!, especially Now That's What I Call Music! discography and List of albums released in 2011. Because of his disruption and ill-advised edits to Now That's What I Call Music!, including posting tracklists on talk pages, adding info without sources , or removing sources , this user has being regularly warned and at times blocked. Because user has a revolving IP of some sort, warnings go ignored or blocks evaded because he begins using a new IP; and further/longer blocks cannot be implemented because the warning process has to start all over.

 * I've protected Now That's What I Call Music! discography, Now That's What I Call Music! 38 (U.S. series). The 71.255.x IPs are more or less stale, so we can focus on the first two (the 71.172.x). The problem is that 71.172.128.0/17 would be the range to block, and there'd be collateral damage. Hopefully the protects help fix this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Pierceybrian23, an obvious sock puppet of User:Pierceybrian22, recently received an indefinite block, but he has returned under an IP, (71.172.184.212), to avoid the block. The edit history shows edits to articles such as Now That's What I Call Music! discography and List of albums released in 2011 from all his user and IP accounts.

Quack. Self-admitted sock. Shows no signs of understanding Wikipedia's rules or that block evasion is against them. Already blocked for 72 hours, posted here for the record (and to see if that's long enough, given the WP:COMPETENCY issues that seem to drive the "but I haven't done anything wrong" persistant IP evasion).

 * While I will not confirm or deny if the IP is technically connected to Pierceybrian22, I can say the IP has been used by a single user for quite some time now. As such, I changed the block to a hardblock for a period of one month. Tiptoety  talk 23:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Long history of IP abuse. Has created useraccounts (User:Pierceybrian22, User:Pierceybrian23, and User:Pierceybrian25) over the years, each of which has been indefinitely blocked, indicating his inability to learn, but he continues to edit as an IP after each block. His edits follow a similar pattern of his blocked accounts, particularly in articles for albums in the Now That's What I Call Music! series (recent IP edit vs. Pierceybrian25 edit).

This indefinitely blocked user with a dynamic IP address is right back at it again, making this edit only two days after making the same edit under an IP address which was blocked yesterday. I will also ask for page protection. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 06:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

 * IP blocked for two weeks, and the article was semi-protected for a week by another admin. Re-report to get the page protected for a longer period if they come back after that. Jafeluv (talk) 16:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Following pattern of previous names used by this sock (I believe the number is the user's age at the time he creates the account). Attempts to communicate also follow a pattern of the user refusing or unable to answer a question directly showing his continuing inability to work with the community (see Pierceybrian25's talk page). The edits of this and his other socks are all primarily Now That's What I Call Music!-related articles, adding unsourced or unverified information which almost always have to be reverted.

Just the same guy for the past 4 years who refuses to cooperate whether he has an account or, when blocked, as an IP. Same edit as User:Pierceybrian26 who was just blocked for block evasion as well. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 21:15, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Definitely Pierceybrian. However it's a dynamic IP and with the lack of edits I'm closing without action. NativeForeigner Talk 18:38, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Editor interaction utility

Just an obvious sock of blocked user Pierceybrian22 (see, who edits Now That's What I Call Music!-related artices despite being warned over and over again to stop. Lost cause but can't get rid of him because of a dynamic IP. The diffs indicate pattern of edits by multiple accounts (both blocked indefinitely) and latest IPs. More of an annoyance than disruptive but a serious block evader who makes no attempt to improve or cooperate. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 20:31, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
