Requests for IP check

This page lists requests to identify and block the IP addresses behind attack and vandal accounts that were previously listed at Requests for checkuser/IP check. After the account has been reported as blocked or declined by the checkusers, the report is moved here for seven days (most recent sections at the bottom), after which it is deleted. Because there is no attempt to establish a relationship with a puppetmaster account, no separate archive is kept, other than the page history.

Clerks: when clearing this page, please make note of the names of the sections you are deleting in the edit summary.


Random username vandal

The random username vandal goes on template tagging sprees. Hopefully this is a one off incident, but I'll leave this here in case problems continue. If they do, hopefully the underlying range is small. Spellcast (talk) 17:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Check for collateral damage

For over a month now, I've been dealing with this persistent vandal who keeps adding bogus info into certain film/TV related articles, and he operates from those two ranges I've listed above. I have made an AN/I report about it, and an admin is afraid of blocking the ranges without knowing whether it will cause collateral damage or not. We would like a CheckUser to be done on these ranges to know if it will cause any collateral damage or not, and whether they should be blocked or not. --AAA! (AAAA) 20:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • They are extremely active ranges. You could try blocking anonymous editors only, but allow account creation; if the vandal creates accounts that will help us track down his activities. A hard block would cause a lot of problems. Thatcher 21:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Started this before Thatcher posted, so it's possibly moot, but I'm posting it anyway in case it later becomes relevant. Here's a partial list of apparently involved IP addresses, judging from the AN/I thread:

IPs were collected from AAA's contribs, so apart from sorting them into the two ranges, most recent IPs will be listed first. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to Rjd0060 on IRC, the ranges that those IPs are covered in are actually the following ranges:
rather than the two ranges I originally mentioned. --AAA! (AAAA) 16:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could we still do those range blocks, providing we have both anon users only and account creation enabled? --AAA! (AAAA) 17:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have blocked both ranges, but I have allowed account creation on them both. AAA, if you happen to see a similar pattern of vandalism to those types of articles, let a checkuser know. (be sure you have lots of evidence, as in several days worth showing the pattern). No existing accounts will be affected by the block. —— nixeagle 17:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
