 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

After reverting the suspected sockmaster's edit to User:BusterD, I got a ton of vandalism on my userpage and talk page. What makes me believe the IPs are the same as the sockmaster is this: - he mentions himself as the "Sockpuppetmaster of Poop". The vandalism to my user page is (can an admin please surpress the offending edit?) and also  clearly shows that it could be the same guy (vandalizing my User Talk). Also, this edit is interesting: he declares himself as Sockpupetmaster of Poop again.

So, can an administrator/checkuser look at the IP range and do a rangeblock? Can the checkuser investigating this case also see if there are any older accounts and add it to this investigation? Thanks! TheCoffeeAddict  talk &#124; contribs  13:26, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 * I've added three more blocked ip addresses used against User talk:Beeblebrox and others this morning, and taken the liberty of correcting the format of addresses listed by somewhat new (but appreciated) User:TheCoffeeAddict. All five were used in association with the flurry of related edits today. BusterD (talk) 14:40, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 * CUs are not used to connect IPs to named accounts. I'll let another administrator evaluate the requested range block.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The ranges are very large (/28, /29, IPv6) and the mediawiki software doesn't even let us block that many addresses. The best bet is to block them as they pop up or semi-protect the affected pages. Mike V • Talk 02:20, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
