::Yes, the IP looked at our article and thought that was the source being used - it wasn't, Joe Nickell's name was just wikilinked. [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 15:11, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

This editor has just been given a block for inserting false information into film articles. The problem though is that he operates under a range of IPs. The vandalism isn't immediately obvious: for instance he will alter the running time of the film, or change the name of the writer of [[Shrek 2]]. Virtually all of his edits under the various IP have had to be reverted by other editors, and it's nearly all the same kind, focusing on running times, films composers and screenwriters.

One of the other IP numbers has similarly received a block: [[Special:Contributions/98.85.15.134]]

There are other IPs though that have slipped the net, all making the same types of edits that were reverted by a mutlitude of editors:

[[Special:Contributions/98.85.5.180]] <br>

[[Special:Contributions/98.85.6.163]]<br>

[[Special:Contributions/98.85.15.85]]<br>

[[Special:Contributions/98.85.79.132]]<br>

[[Special:Contributions/98.85.96.24]]

Is there any mileage in a range block here or is the IP scope too wide? I wouldn't be surprised if there are other IPs out there I've missed, but would appreciate it if an admin could look into this case. [[User:Betty Logan|Betty Logan]] ([[User talk:Betty Logan|talk]]) 16:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
