User has been engaged in the introduction of gibberish into a variety of articles. I noticed him today at List of The Amazing World of Gumball characters where he continues to inject unsourced future events, bizzarely worded content. He also added a bizarrely worded "explanation" here. This led me to an article about Olive Hill, Kentucky, where IP 75.90.244.100 and IP 75.90.226.122 are both active. I also noticed the following bogus edits from 75.90.244.8 unsourced future eventrampant unsourced future events. Some of the IPs geolocate to Morehead, Kentucky, others to Olive Hill, Kentucky. In this edit, IP 75.90.224.9 adds content about PaRappa the Rapper. In these edits by 75.90.244.100 the user admits to being AllenComedian1999 and presumably asks user Aozz101x to insert content about PaRappa the Rapper into an article. I think the user may be active for a couple of years new, and these IPs above may just be symptoms. These 2011 edits from 75.117.218.99 look like subtle vandalism, for example. I also have reason to believe there might be a conceptual intersection with IPs that geolocate to Houston, Texas and thereabouts. Particularly the users' use of poor English, rambling style and the way he comments as though he's participating in a conversation that has been going on for some time. For example this editor 50.15.208.64 who made a habit of dropping absurd, rambling critiques about The Problem Solverz in a variety a talk pages. or 173.11.226.201 or 98.195.148.246. I found a recent CheckUser record, but have added a few more IPs and I wanted to get an actual SPI going to make it easier for regular editors such as myself to find keywords like "Morehead" and "Olive Hill" in an SPI report. FYI, the BruceAllenConley account exists at the English Wikiquote. Thanks Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Allen Conley hasn't made any edits so I'm not blocking them. As for the IPs, there isn't enough evidence for me that the only non stale one is still (that is, hasn't been reassigned) connected with the listed master. The range is too big to warrant a block so there isn't much more we can do. Closing case. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 11:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Typical behavior. IP geolocates to Morehead, Kentucky. Drawn to children's television. Introduction of gibberish involving unsourced future event here "She helps Gumball and Darwin to get back school because of her getting cause of sadness. She will appear in Season 3." User self-identifies as "Bruce Allen Conley" here. User engages in conversations with himself, typically starting a conversation with the attitude that the conversation is already in progress. However user seems to be branching out. In this edit user manufactures a conversation with me involving some sort of fantastical dialogue about planning the series "The Amazing World of Gumball". User has done this offline as well, tormenting this prop maker with similar nonsense, posing as the prop maker and engaging himself in a conversation, and using the "I promise" language. The user's writing style is so bizarrely incoherent that I wonder sometimes if it could be a bot, or an international vandal who is pretending to be from Olive Hill / Morehead. IP 98.19.72.33 (Morehead) does the same stuff here. I wasn't able to add this IP to the list at the top of this SPI after I submitted it, so if someone could help, I'd appreciate it.

Found User:Grigrass on Talk:List of The Amazing World of Gumball characters. Similar gibberish style and construction of fantasy world on their user page. They have not been active in a while, however. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Alright, I've blocked the 75* IP for one week, the other is stale. Not sure about the account, particularly since it hasn't been active in a while. Closing now. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
