As of today (when the US Schools have restarted according to a few sources) the Karen Gillan article has come under vandal attack from every user and IP mentioned here.

See a pattern? It seems like it's more than one party going at it at the same time though judging by the single attack from 151, therefore i'd like to request checkuser to see if they're all the same party. MM (Report findings)  (Past espionage) 16:38, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * With the article now protected and the named accounts blocked, I don't believe there will be a need for checkuser here. The IPs mean that at best you might get a "possible" with no comment on the IPs. Closing for now; please relist if there is future socking.

Same edits to Karen Gillan as the previous pile of vandalism. I don't know if this editor lives in some parallel universe inside their head where Karen is married to Matt, but either way it's false, it's Vandalism and it's being done by a socker. We could use a WP:DUCK block on this user. Putting this in here for the records. MM (Report findings)  (Past espionage) 23:29, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

User:Awefgdg just popped up about 5 minutes ago doing the same vandalism so I've added it to the list. MM (Report findings)  (Past espionage) 11:51, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Added Cmbswims and ImOnGallifrey, and requesting CU to find out any remaining accounts. Jafeluv (talk) 15:26, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocked all 4 as vandalism only accounts, but it appears they're editing from a mobile phone and can change IP's and create new accounts easily, so I'm semi-protecting the 3 articles for a month. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Should we close this now or leave it open for a clerk to make a decision? MM (Report findings)  (Past espionage) 16:08, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * - Checkuser is not needed for vandalism-only accounts, since the target article has now been protected. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:08, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Katzimatz: The Karen Gillian has had its fair share of this socker popping up over the past few months but I haven't got around to logging it before they would be stale. Same as always, rubbish about Karen being married to Matt Smith, having kids yadda yadda yadda. I also suspect User:inealice for sticking a vandal edit in straight after Katz and User:Powerth for the same reason however I don't see a clear reason other than their editing times to believe that they are connected to Katz and therefore Smillan so I've listed them down here and not up there. I'll leave that decision in the hands of the experts. MM (Report findings)  (Past espionage) 11:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
