Suspected sockpuppets

The main account has agitated for years about posting negative and BLP-violating information about the Nickelodeon children's block Nick Studio 10 having alleged animal abuse, food waste and social media antagonization towards viewers who didn't enjoy this block that ended five years ago. Several final warnings later, I thought had finally warded them off (they have not edited since March of last year), but since then the same edit has been restored consecutively this month by the latter three IPs (the first restored Vintage's edits several times last year), and all the IPs seem to locate to the same general area of the Atlanta metro; not sure if that's where they live or because it's an AT&T hub, but they read like ducks from what I'm seeing, and they're the only ones who seem to continue to try to point out the unsourced negative information about this. Note that these edits for stale accounts dating back two years from the same IP range also forced semi-protect periods on this article (in fact, 5028:8221 was part of the summer 2016 wave along with the current wave), thus Vintage had to go dormant until they lapsed or try on the main account to get the negative edits back on again.

 * Comment - Yes, I agree that it seems pretty ducky here that VVT is behind all of those IPs and should be blocked. Beyond that, however, I don't have many options to suggest. The edits stretch back to July 2016 and they've been back 17 or 18 times over an equal number of months. Short term page protection likely won't help now any more than it has before. The IPs a pretty well scattered, so I don't see a range block. That leaves either the very blunt long term protection or the wearying Whack-a-mole approach. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 17:25, 20 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - I think I can explain it clearly. I only did those edits out of frustration. I was just mad that everyone kept reverting my edits and I just didn't take it lightly. Now as for the IPs, Some of them I used because I didn't want to give my self away. But as proved by this sockpuppet investigation, my attempts were thwarted. I should also mention that I wasn't the only one, involved in this. If you look at the history, another user named DollLoverBratzFan and two other IPs (none of which were mine even though one of them is tagged to AT&T) also tried to restore my edits as well. I just want to say, I'm deeply sorry for causing havic over the past two years. I promise never to do it again and I just hope you guys can forgive me.

 * This and this under the same IPv6 inspire no confidence that you'll stop anytime soon. Also, this note from Summer suggests you're trying and failing to push away the blame. You've just self-admitted, so stop digging a hole for yourself.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Adding DollLoverBratzFan. Both named accounts have edited Bratz (2007 film) and Nick Studio 10. In addition to the IP calling attention to the Doll account making the same edit at Nick Studio 10, there are no conflicts between the two.
 * 9/1/2016:
 * Doll 9:32
 * VHS 9:56 - 9:57
 * Doll 10:19 - 10:37
 * VHS 10:51 - 13:14
 * Doll 13:25
 * VHS 13:58 - 19:23
 * Doll 21:14.
 * 9/3/2016:
 * VHS until 21:50
 * Doll 22:14 - 22:32
 * VHS 23:18. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 02:59, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
