Like I stated here at SlimVirgin's talk page and here at Sahyadrisingh's talk page, Sahyadrisingh has been WP:Sockpuppeting at the Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis and Haley James Scott fictional character articles for months to WP:Edit war her preferred name content into these articles; it's a married name matter. The WP:Sockpuppeting started out as IP hopping, usually with the 117. IP range; I have not listed all of those IPs above. The Peyton Sawyer article was WP:Semi-protected by SlimVirgin twice due to Sahyadrisingh's IP hopping. The proof that Sahyadrisingh is these IPs is demonstrated by WP:Duck (yes, I know that a WP:CheckUser usually will not publicly tie an IP address to a registered account). Sahyadrisingh makes the same edits the IPs make, with the same reasoning, and, whenever the Peyton Sawyer article is WP:Semi-protected, the Sahyadrisingh account shows up to revert to the IP's wording. Sahyadrisingh has also indirectly admitted to being the 117. IP range through discussion with me on our talk pages. Now it's clear that Sahyadrisingh is editing with a different registered account -- User:SophiaIsabellaSherman.

Compare the 117. IP range edits, Sahyadrisingh's edits and SophiaIsabellaSherman's edits below:

Also with regard to SophiaIsabellaSherman, see this diff-link showing Materialscientist revert SophiaIsabellaSherman and a 117. IP reverting back. Flyer22 (talk) 13:56, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Bbb23, thank you for taking care of this. Will you consider long-term WP:Semi-protecting the Brooke Davis and Haley James Scott articles? Like I told Materialscientist (seen here), those articles need that protection to help counter Sahyadrisingh's WP:Sockpuppeting/WP:Edit warring and other WP:Disruptive editing. The Peyton Sawyer article is already WP:Semi-protected. Flyer22 (talk) 18:52, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
Based on duck, I indeffed and tagged the two named accounts. The only IP listed that has edited recently performed an unrelated edit. If there are IPs that should be blocked (I agree that they are generally the same person) because they are still socking, then they need to be listed, although semi-protection of articles might be a better way to go. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:45, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * , both of those articles have been quiet since June 19. If socking resumes, you can alert me on my talk page, and if I'm on-wiki I'll look at it. If I'm not or you prefer it, you can post a request at WP:RFPP and link to this SPI so that another administrator will understand the background.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:26, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
