Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Voice Cast Vandal

Cross-wikiness
This vandal also operates cross-wiki, creating hoax articles about nonexistent films at the English Wikiquote. ~ Ningauble (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Wonderful. Could you link to an IP/IPs that he has used over there? I knew he was on Wikia; and it would be good to start dealing with him there and on WikiQuote as well. Cheers. Doc   talk  23:22, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Some IPs of interest:
 * 98.15.141.31 (talk • deleted) (already listed here) was very active at Wikiquote in recent weeks.
 * This group (not listed here, but also edited Wikipedia), active at Wikiquote this March–May, appears to be the same person: 108.203.80.211 (deleted), 108.203.81.76 (deleted), 108.203.81.116 (deleted), 108.203.82.0 (deleted), 108.203.82.34 (deleted), 108.203.84.200 (deleted), 108.203.87.40 (deleted).
 * 112.205.1.48 (deleted) (not listed here, but also edited Wikipedia), active at Wikiquote this July, may or may not  be related.

 * There are several vandals who target similar material, and work in similar ways, but not the VCV who seems more persistent. I suspect many are children who just want to add their favourite character/actor in. : locates to the Philippines and has edits that differ too much from the VCV (too long, using other languages).
 * : and the rest in the 108.203 range locate to Kansas, 1500 miles from where he normally operates. 108.203 does note seem to edit quite like the VCV, just adds the same film to lots of different BLPs so probably a difference person but with vandalising in a similar way.
 * : is almost definitely the WP:LTA/VCV Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 21:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I concur. The 98. IP is him, the others listed do not appear to be him. The 108.203.8X... IPs are all the same person, but not the VCV that I can see. Doc   talk  00:44, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok, sometimes small minds think alike. When 98.15.141.31 showed up at Wikiquote it immediately called to mind the earlier episode with 108.203, but this type of hoax is hardly an original idea. ~ Ningauble (talk) 11:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yup. The VCV is quite predictable in his behavior in many ways, but he does change targets of interest frequently; and he has changed certain behaviors over time. He used to do some things that he hasn't done in awhile, and he picks up new quirks. I always look to exclude any like-minded vandals as being him, and I've run across many that are very similar to the VCV. Thanks for bringing this here! Keep fighting him and others like him. Cheers :) Doc   talk  01:46, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Suspected IPs
Another possible new one: Special:Contributions/97.125.80.174 Geolocates to Roseburg, Oregon. Unsourced addition of numerous actors with some minor roles, such as Doctors #1, #3. Have we given up filing Sockpuppet reports on him? Where is the sockmaster SPI, anyway? Here's another suspect: Special:Contributions/97.125.84.184, which geolocates to Sutherlin, Oregon.

 * I forked this to a new thread because these IPs do not appear to be operating cross-wiki, at least not at en.wq, which was the focus of the thread above. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:41, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason there's no SPI is that the VCV has never (to our knowledge) created a named account to tag and then file a report on. When I discovered this pest I realized the impracticality of filing a SPI, and that going to the earliest discovered (so far) IP to base a report on didn't really cut it, so I created this LTA report instead. As for the Oregon IPs; I do not personally feel confident that this is him, but just another garden-variety vandal with a similar interest in fabricating roles. The IPs are static and use CenturyLink as an ISP, which the VCV has not used. We know for a fact he's based in New York, as this recently reported and 100% confirmed IP demonstrates..
