All IPs exhibit identical behavior, adding unsourced information to voice actor pages and explicitly false cast members for various animated series. All their edits are related to alternate English dubs of exising shows produced by "BenQ" and "Panasonic", neither of which do any sort of voice production; the only "source" of the sort is this Fandom wiki, the sole user of which has been adding the same false cast lists to various Fandom wikis. A quick glance at a set of edits from each of them makes it very clear. Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * (sigh) Another one just popped up at 84.68.46.113. Just added it to the list. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:20, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Cyberlink420, thankyou for identifying this disruption. It looks to have been managed for the moment, please see below for some recommendations for the next time this editor crops up. Thanks, --Jack Frost (talk) 04:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

 * It's clearly all the same editor, however they're bouncing around on a vodafone 84.64.0.0/13 (way too big to rangeblock) every few days, even with their 4 most recent IP addresses. 84.68.0.0/18 is their most recent range, although the collateral precludes blocking for much more than a couple of days. Therefore I think we're back to whack-a-mole and page protections. To kick this off: - Please anonblock  for a week. --Jack Frost (talk) 19:44, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

 * This editor is editing from Vodafone UK ranges which appear to roll over approximately weekly. Given the reasonably focused nature of the disruption, I've listed the pages the IP has edited more than once at RFPP for semi-protection for a period of 6 months, as this editor often returns to those pages after a prolonged period. Recommend future disruption is reported to AIV (with a pointer to this SPI), and IPs are blocked for a week (given the allocation time of the IP, longer appears pointless), with consideration to reporting the pages at RfPP with a view to semi-protection of the affected pages for 3-6 month periods. Given this, there doesn't appear to be anything left to do here; closing. -- Jack Frost (talk) 04:13, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Identical edits to previous socks, including addition of fake "Panasonic" cast members. Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

 * . I've moved this entire case under UmairYokaimon since we now have a registered account (was previously filed under 84.64.60.145). The account is already blocked. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 22:19, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Identical edits to past socks, with unsourced BLP additions to various voice actor pages and adding cast members for various fake "Panasonic" dubs to several animations. (See:   for examples.) IP is currently temp-blocked for one week; suggest extension and/or semi-protection of additional pages. Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:37, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks like a duck to me, comparing to diffs in the 21 December filing. There have been blocks om UmairYokaimon on this /13 in the past, and I see Ohnoitsjamie sockblocked for a week in January, I assume as a UY sock. It's consistent behavior going back a month, with no apparent collateral damage, so would you object to lengthening this by 3 weeks? If you want semis, could you please give a list of pages that have been targeted by more than one IP? Thanks.( Pending answers to the above.)  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:30, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Checking the edit history, I've found even more IPs that they've used in the past, including 84.64.17.253, 84.68.93.179, 84.68.49.93 and 84.64.19.170. Beyond those already locked, Laurie Hymes, Kate Bristol, and Future Card Buddyfight seem to be frequent targets. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I dropped a three-month block on 84.68.32.0/19. I did the same for 84.64.0.0/18, though that is on the edge of maybe having too much collateral damage. Thanks go both of you for your sleuthing. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the swift response! I found they've also done past vandalism as 84.68.0.127, 84.64.25.1, 84.68.55.56, 84.68.10.246, and 84.68.93.179, but as this activity is very stale by now, I add them to the list solely for clerical reasons and not because they need to be dealt with. It seems they've also been doing the same on multiple Fandom wikis, so I've reached out to their staff to hopefully curb their behavior on all fronts. EDIT: Fandom has responded and blocked the user across all of their wikis. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:37, 8 February 2022 (UTC)


 * I do not at this time see a need for any page protections, as the blocks seem to be working. If there is ongoing disruption that blocks can't solve, feel free to report to RFPP with a link to this SPI. Thanks. Closing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 19:05, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
