After getting my user page vandalized by not one but *two* of this person's other socks, I'm now getting hit from *this* IP - despite the fact I haven't said word one to them.

And as the only time I've touched other folks talk and user pages is when dealing with vandalism, or discussing editing matters - this certainly doesn't appear legitimate.

I have also exerpience vandalism to my talk page from user:75.3.192.102 same rhetoric, same agenda/axe to grind. Wisdom89 (talk) 16:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Provide diffs showing they're the same person. If they're vandalizing, can report to WP:AIV — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 02:22, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

 * This certainly could be a case of sockpuppetry, but without a checkuser, this one seems really hard to prove (edits seem hostile, but it could simply be one IP backing up another IP on a similar page). As Rlevse recommended, you should probably withdraw this and take each individual user to WP:AIV. IMHO, this will speed the process dramatically and probably get the desired effects with little fanfare. Furthermore, please realize that by custom only do user talk pages belong to anyone. Officially (see WP:USER), they belong to Wikipedia and are subject to editing by anyone. While the comments made by the latter two IPs are something you don't want on your user page and the comments in the edit summaries are out of line, the edits to your user talk page do not appear to be vandalism. — BQZip01 —  talk 07:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Checkuser is probably irrelevant here - there are only ip addresses, no users. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Repeated userpage vandalism from multiple IPs can be resolved with semi-protection. If the trouble continues, go to requests for page protection and make a request. Providing diffs will be helpful showing vandalism by different IPs will help. I will check now to see if immediate help is needed. Jehochman Talk 21:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
