• Supporting evidence:
  • Argyle2006 (talk · contribs) - 25 edits (May '06 - May '08) Most are POV, unsourced, or vandalism.[1][2][3][4][5] Pattern of adding the name "Michael Thomas Shanahan" to various articles.[6][7][8]
  • Polonius79 (talk · contribs) - 5 edits (March - Apr '08) Four are vandalism,[9] some with false sources.
  • Tramstra (talk · contribs) - 7 edits (May - Apr '08), all vandalism directed toward Keillor or McCullough.[10][11]
  • Pericles626 (talk · contribs) - more of the same...[12][13]http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=A_Prairie_Home_Companion_%28film%29&diff=prev&oldid=191213902]
  • Merryhell (talk · contribs) - single unsourced edit to Garrison Keillor surrounded by edits of vandalism (or reversions), and later "expanded upon by Tramstra
  • 204.69.4.82 (talk · contribs) - 115 edits (Oct '07 - Apr '08) Most are vandalism toward Keillor or McCullough.
  • 207.233.7.121 (talk · contribs) - 42 edits (Sept '03 - Apr '08) Some are vandalism toward Keillor, LOST, or The Sopranos
  • 138.23.77.83 (talk · contribs) - 30 edits (Mar '07 - May '08) Some are vandalism toward Keillor or McCullough. Others are undoing the removal of vandalism about LOST.
  • 138.23.77.78 (talk · contribs) - 10 edits (Oct '06 - Apr '08) Some are vandalism toward Keillor or McCullough. Also includes vandalism toward LOST.
  • 138.23.89.187 (talk · contribs) - 625 edits Some are vandalism toward Keillor or McCullough. Most are negative, unsourced POV toward Bank of America.
  • 138.23.77.58 (talk · contribs) - 54 edits Most are vandalism toward The Sopranos, LOST, McCullough, and Keillor
  • 75.62.137.29 (talk · contribs) - 2 edits, two vandalsims of McCullough's talk page.
  • 71.105.18.146 (talk · contribs) - 3 edits, all vandalism, one to McCullough (← least sure that this is associated with the others...)

Based on an AIV report, I looked at the edits of 204.69.4.81 (talk · contribs) to David McCullough...I see a series of accounts and IPs that appear to be targeting that article and Garrison Keillor-related stuff...

Observations: Reoccurring abuse of David McCullough, Garrison Keillor (and related ie. Guy Noir, A Prarie Home Companion), Lost (TV series) (specifically Music on LOST), and The Sopranos.

IPs seems to have a relationship to UC Riverside area computer system... The pattern of abuse dates back to last November at least, with rather few associated blocks and warnings!

I think it's clear that all the accounts are probably indef-blockable. Argyle2006--the only account with a block on its recors--was blocked for 31 hours @ 02:17, May 5, 2008; an edit by Tramstra occurred during this time. 204.69.4.82 has been blocked several times over the period of interest here, including a current 3 month block. 207.233.7.121 has had 6 weeks of block time since February. 138.23.77.83 is under a current 3 mo. block. Etc. Etc.

If all these accounts are connected, there's some serious block evasion and long-term vandalism...I'd like to know if there are any further accounts/IPs that should be dealt with.

Thanks! — Scientizzle 00:33, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure it's just a coincidence—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.233.7.121 (talk • contribs)

Thanks Thatcher...I'll go clean this up now... — Scientizzle 15:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

All accounts have been indef'd and all IPs listed that weren't already blocked are now blocked for 1-3 months. Thanks, — Scientizzle 15:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
