AT&T

I am now certain the US/AT&T one is a separate issue. I am fighting this one every day, and I know that one day this user will start the day touching new ones, and leaving the old ones alone, and I will lose the trail. This is quite similar in behavior - and difficulty in maintaining! - as some trouble I had with a vandal on Georgia media stations. @JamesBWatson: helped me with that one with a rangeblock, per this discussion. Perhaps we could get some help with these two from him. Care to weigh in, James? Thanks! Scr★pIronIV 13:21, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's tough to get a rangeblock on the ones who use a major ISP. There's often too much collateral damage. I've heard that it's generally pointless, but one possibility is to contact the ISP's abuse e-mail to file a complaint. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:48, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Trouble at this point is that we have admins blocking piecemeal, 24 or 31 hours, and this IP changes IP addresses more often than that. And, of course, they have no way of knowing that this is part of a systematic long-term abuser. You had said something about a new Twinkle module? Scr★pIronIV 13:55, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Still just in the planning stages: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive278#Long term abuse. I wrote an LTA report for a really persistent IP (8+ years of abusive edit warring). At first I linked it to every revert I made. Eventually, I got tired of that, and now I just do a mass-rollback. To explain it, I put a link to the LTA report on my user page.

Animation hoaxer

Thanks for compiling information on this troll. Here's another one: 101.186.67.227 (talk · contribs) Sundayclose (talk) 15:28, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

another vandal

I need a place to stick this so I don't forget about it:

The vandal hasn't edited in around 24 hours, but someone needs to keep on eye on this range for the next few days. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:58, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it looks like he or she has moved on. It's been almost five days without any new vandalism. Either that or the edits are happening on a new /64, which is too much trouble for me to bother tracking. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:13, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Related vandalism

Is the vandalism by this range 2600:8805:8880:0:0:0:0:0/46 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) related to this LTA? Common targets from different ranges were Justin Roiland, Ryan Quincy, Sausage Party, Trolls (film), and Trolls World Tour. They have been quiet for about the past month because I think most of their ranges are now blocked, but they were on a few different ones. I've reported them a few times to AIV: [1] [2] [3]. I could compile where I've seen them if it would be helpful. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 02:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. Wrong ISP, wrong geolocation. Vandalizing cartoons has become pretty popular in the past year or two. If the composer changes, it might be an LTA, though. Not too many people bother to vandalize the composer. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. Good to know. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 19:26, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
