Persistent disruption across a range of articles, some broadly connected eg. freedom to roam v's road taxation theme;
- Travel, Dromomania,Vignette (road tax), Itinerant Talk:Itinerant, Rogue (vagrant), Outlaw motorcycle club, Teardrop trailer
- video gaming : Fallout (video game), Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Westwood Studios, Fallout 2
- and some apparently random and unrelated: Nordic aliens, Slovenia, Flag of the United Nations, Disinformation
- There are dozens more dynamic and proxy IPs in the same general ranges, mostly with few edits, at the above articles showing overlap between very disparate themes. Not sure if checkuser is appropriate. Most of the accounts have already been blocked, and/or the affected articles temp. protected. The main purpose of bringing this is to show the extent of socking at the affected articles and to have future disruptive edits at these articles quickly recognised as socks.

Clerk note: I'm closing this case for now. Most of the IPs listed have been blocked as being open proxies. And a bunch of the articles involved have been protected. If the issue arises again, list here. For open proxies, they can be reported elsewhere to be closed up. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:49, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Following the previous case, it seems a new editor has shown up and has been editing in the same space as the IPs that were listed before, as well as harassing the editor who opened the other case. This may be Lorielpid, or it may be someone else; either way, something weird is going on here. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, technical data won't be of much use here, as this editor was editing behind proxies. If they resume editing, please refile - we may be able to get a bead on it then. TNXMan 19:45, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Likely; the useragent is identical, however the IPs being used are geolocating all over the place. Several are being flagged as "suspected network sharing devices", so I strongly suspect they're using open proxies to avoid blocks and detection. I'll go confirm and block the proxies, but in the meantime, blocks can likely be issued to both users. Hersfold (t/a/c) 19:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Both editors blocked. Nakon 20:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Administrator note I was just informed on my talk page of another IP, and it's been blocked too. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 20:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
