== Vandal IP ==
{{Resolved/mini|nlr| No longer an issue. 23:58, July 15, 2011 (UTC)}}
I believe that a single person living in or around London, UK has been using multiple IP addresses (specifically [[Special:Contributions/92.27.218.130|92.27.218.130]] and [[Special:Contributions/89.243.165.132|89.243.165.132]]) to vandalize here on TSW. The two IPs (both of which have already received blocks for their behavior) are located in the general London area: [http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/92.27.218.130][http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/89.243.165.132] and have made ''identical'' styles of vandalism, consisting of going to articles about Sims and inserting highly incorrect information into the infobox. Examples: [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Marina_Prattle&diff=prev&oldid=217136] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Beau_Merrik&diff=prev&oldid=217144] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Michael_Sleep&diff=prev&oldid=217147] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Polly_Maloney&diff=prev&oldid=217150] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Lisa_King&diff=prev&oldid=217227] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Li-Anne_Sun&diff=prev&oldid=217236] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Nervous_Subject&diff=prev&oldid=216641] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Camilla_Fortescue&diff=prev&oldid=216640] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Johanna_King&diff=prev&oldid=216581] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Beau_Merrik&diff=prev&oldid=216578] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Lilly-Bo_Chique&diff=prev&oldid=216577] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Lilly-Bo_Chique&diff=prev&oldid=216573] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Paisley_Rainbow&diff=prev&oldid=216569] [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Casa_Caliente&diff=prev&oldid=216568].
As a result, I encourage all administrators who notice this variety of vandalism to identify the IP address of the vandal, ascertain where it is located globally (I use [http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup this website]) and to immediately block any such vandal committing this type of vandalism who is located in or around London. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 22:19, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
:A new one that was blocked by Dharden - [[Special:Contributions/92.27.233.96]] - which has made the same kind of vandal edits and also lives in London. It's safe to say that all three of these IPs is the same person. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 20:23, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
:A new one: [[Special:Contributions/92.27.252.185|92.27.252.185]]. Considering a range block of all IP addresses from the 92.27.xxx.xxx range, but we'll play things as needed and see how it goes. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 10:18, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
===List of vandal IPs===
{{Resolved/mini|nlr| Not an issue at this time due to range block. 23:58, July 15, 2011 (UTC)}}
Borrowing a page from Duskey's book, I've made a table:
{|class="wikitable heading-blue sortable"
!Users!!First active!!Last active!!class="unsortable"|Last admin action!!class="unsortable"|Pages
|-
|{{userlinks|92.27.218.130}}||December 14||December 14||1 day block
|Twelve edits total, most reverted
|-
|{{userlinks|89.243.165.132}}||December 16||December 16||1 day block
|Eight edits, all but one reverted
|-
|{{userlinks|92.27.233.96}}||December 18||December 18||3 day block
|[http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Betty_Newbie&diff=prev&oldid=217650 Betty Newbie], [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Nervous_Subject&diff=prev&oldid=217631 Nervous Subject], three edits to a category page (all reverted), creation of an inappropriate article (deleted).
|-
|{{Userlinks|92.27.252.185}}||December 27||December 27||1 month block
|[http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Skip_Broke&diff=prev&oldid=220950 Skip Broke], [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Bella_Goth&diff=prev&oldid=220948 Bella Goth], [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Dina_Caliente&diff=prev&oldid=220942 Dina Caliente] (all reverted)
|}
;Patterns
*All located in London, UK.
*Very similar editing style.
*Repeat many kinds of vandalism (changing caption to 'hi i'm <Sim's name>', use of the word 'inserted,' other factors).
*Vandal does not immediately return after being blocked.
*Targets both well-known and more obscure Sims (more obscure being [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Camilla_Fortescue&diff=prev&oldid=216640 Camilla Fortescue], [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Beau_Merrik&diff=prev&oldid=216578 Beau Merik] and [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Polly_Maloney&diff=prev&oldid=217150 Polly Maloney], among others).
I will add to it if more IPs show up. Given current pattern, won't necessarily see another similar IP come up for a couple days. It may be that the user's IP address automatically changes every couple days, but who knows? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 10:32, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
===New IPs===
A new range of IP addresses; 2.102.xx.xx ; has been participating in the same pattern of vandalism. However, this range has also taken to editing userpages. Here's the table:
{|class="wikitable heading-blue sortable"
!Users!!First active!!Last active!!class="unsortable"|Last admin action!!class="unsortable"|Pages
|-
|{{userlinks|2.102.151.213}}||January 15||January 16||1 day block

|Two edits to [[:Category:Capricorn Sims]], two edits to [[Frag Grrl]], one edit each to [[Virginia Gothier]], [[Neo Flange]], [[Arthur Pop]], [[Crispin Black]], [[Bella Ciao]], [[Roxanna Hardplace]], [[Stephen Loyal]], and [[Hester Primm]]. All edits reverted.
|-
|{{userlinks|2.102.246.100}}||May 12||May 12||6 months rangeblock||Inappropriate edits to [[Ossie Madison]] as well as creating two inappropriate pages. Same vandalism pattern as before.
|}
Given that this vandalism is generally more annoying than damaging, I don't think this requires much action other than revert, block, ignore. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 16:11, January 27, 2011 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, the 2.102 IPs are also coming from the UK. WHOIS reports are saying that the 2.102.*.* range and the 92.27.*.* are both on "Opal Telecom", which from my understanding, owns a UK ISP known as TalkTalk. Seeing as the 2.102 range is the only one that is still attacking, there is a chance that this may possibly be the same person, given the similar edits and edit summaries. Also, asking for a rangeblock may be problematic as TalkTalk/Opal Telecom is one of the largest ISPs in the UK, which means hundreds or even thousands of potential editors may be affected.

::::I unblocked the range yesterday to see if the vandal has given up but it appears that they haven't as the vandalism restarted immedieately after the range was unblocked.

2.102 vandalism has restarted today and it appears to be the same person as before. I have blocked the range for 6 months but enabled account creation to minimise collateral damage. If the user makes an account (which seems to be unlikely), we can give a permanent block based on their contributions. {{LabSig}} 16:04, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
=== New IP range, same ISP ===
{{Resolved/mini|nlr| No longer an issue. 23:58, July 15, 2011 (UTC)}}
I have noticed another IP, [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/89.241.53.70 89.241.53.70] had vandalised [[Burglar]] today. A [http://tools.whois.net/whoisbyip/89.241.53.70 WHOIS] shows that this is the same ISP in the UK. I recommend that any user or admin who notices strange edits from this range to act immedieately as this could be the same person somehow changing their dynamic IP range. I have warned the IP for now (in case this is another person) but I will keep an eye out for any IPs in this range or are on this ISP.

:::I think this is jumping the gun severely. The edit made by that IP does not match the style of edits done by either of the two previous IP range vandals. Further, there is no history of repeated vandalism from that IP range.

::::After taking a look at this, I can admit that I was too fast to jump to conclusions. I found it strange that someone from that ISP had vandalised a page after the rangeblock was made.
