All 4 users have a behavior pattern that consists of changing dates on music single and album pages. As well as not communicating with other users on their talk page. I linked them by edits to a Harris County school district article, LL Cool J, and Mariah Carey articles. The first 2 make unsubstantiated changes to music by both Michael and Janet Jackson, plus their respective siblings. Other artists are involved as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Statmo1921 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Stafford_Municipal_School_District&action=history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SonnywithaChancefan http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Leave_Me_Alone&diff=327964368&oldid=326764333 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Leave_Me_Alone&diff=315849758&oldid=310309913 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Emotions_%28album%29&diff=prev&oldid=331390319 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Emotions_%28album%29&diff=322447520&oldid=319825354 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Emotions_%28album%29&diff=333393579&oldid=332449996 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Always_Be_My_Baby&diff=prev&oldid=330369154 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Always_Be_My_Baby&diff=329337641&oldid=328481037 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Always_Be_My_Baby&diff=337871948&oldid=332116428 Carmaker1 ( talk) 04:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

This user makes a habit of deliberately adding false release dates to single and album recordings. Here is a typical example:
Compare the contributions of banned sockpuppet J-Dizzley95 and 98.198.170.141. Here is another example of tampering, this time in the article for La Toya Jackson's From Nashville To You album:
All accounts make edits using the same made-up information. 190fordhouse aka J-Dizzley95 aka 98.198.170.141 has added fake release dates to all of La Toya Jackson's singles and albums and has probably included made-up facts to many other articles which have yet to be discovered. I have had to revert all of this user's hoax edits. This user's vexatious revisions should be ceased.

Vast majority of the edits involve changes to music articles, often Latin artists, and include lots of date changes or additions. None have any explanation or sourcing, and all IPs locate to the same geographical area. The first IPs are on the same /24; the last one is on a different ISP but makes the same kind of edits and in a few cases edit the same articles in succession.

New sock IP of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/190fordhouse/Archive, very active (rangeblock still in place on 98.198.174.0/24). Passes duck test on its own, but also see User:208.54.83.66 for similar changes (and some back-to-back edits as well). Was active, but recently ceased Shadowjams ( talk) 05:18, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Some of the major ranges have been blocked but I've noticed a resort to a few usernames. The Miguelg account is a duck for 190fordhouse and remains active. Whatever range that's running on should be checked for sleepers, both accounts and IPs. The Limmerine one is different. Instead of changing dates it has been changing track lengths and album lengths, again almost exclusively. There is a lot of overlap in terms of article choice. Request a CU for sleepers or a link between them. If the Limmerine account is indeed linked then it opens up a whole new type of errors to look for and perhaps other IP ranges. The 76.31 IP is currently blocked but I don't think it's been linked to this SPI before, and based on the account type it's possibly a primary IP (or at least the range).

The sock has been using the 208.54.83.* range over the last few weeks.
I personally went through everything of *.72's and cleaned it up, but the following need to be cleaned up as well I've cleaned up: 208.54.83.56, 208.54.83.61, and 208.54.83.66. There may be others though.

The vandal seems to be on a fairly busy mobile range, which will not be blocked at this time due to the timing of the vandalism (well over a week ago) and the potential for collateral damage. Re-report if the disruption resumes from this range (208.54.128.0/19 or 208.54.0.0/17 according to the WHOIS). – MuZemike 21:29, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
