The first 5700s built were painted in the standard GWR livery of the time: mainly green above the running plate with the words "GREAT WESTERN" painted in yellow letters with red and black shadowing on the pannier tanks, buffer beams painted red with the number shown in yellow letters with black shadowing, and the front of the smokebox and chimney were black.[1] From 1934 the GWR "shirtbutton" roundel replaced "GREAT WESTERN".[2] From 1942 GWR replaced the roundel with the letters "G W R", in yellow letters with red and black shading.[3] Due to wartime shortages most locomotives were painted black from 1942 to 1945.[4]

After nationalisation, some 5700s were painted in BR green with the words "BRITISH RAILWAYS" on the side,[5] but unlined black soon became the standard for tank locomotives, with the BR crest on the sides of the tanks. Some 5700s also had white and red lining on the pannier tanks and cab sides. The BR crest was changed in 1957.[6]

The 5700s bought by London Transport between 1956 and 1963 were repainted in the standard LT maroon livery with yellow and black lining.[7] Those bought by NCB were painted in a light green.[8]

Problematic edits[edit]

Summary of edits (by article) of Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of 86.173.93.252 are shown in the second table below. About 110 different articles were affected, although many edits were reverted quite promptly (regular spotters have included Andy Dingley, Redrose64, and HJ Mitchell). Most edits have been on British railway articles (including fictional railways), with some related articles, and a few excursions into history, the world of "Top Gear", and cycling...

The first table shows known data on the different IP addresses, with dates of edits and some notes (and, very occasionally, example edit summaries). Looking at the revision histories of some of the different articles, IP addresses, types of edits etc, I think there are a further five IP addresses following a similar pattern, affecting a further ~40 articles.

Edit characteristics[edit]

  • Never supported by references
  • Usually edits to numbers (often loco numbers), dates etc (very rarely edits running text)
  • Section blanking, and removing whole paragraphs, or rows of tables (for example to remove a locomotive)
  • Often repeated after reversion a week or two later
  • Some re-ordering of sections
  • Usually at the weekend (with occasional exceptions, including one static address used mid-week on a number of occasions)
  • Usually late afternoon and evening (15.00 – 22.00) but with occasional forays into morning and early evening
  • Some useful wikilinking, but sometimes overdone

Our mystery editor[edit]

At first I thought they were just an irritating vandal (and seemed chauvinistic, removing locos that are not in the UK etc), but I now think they are all good faith edits, but that the editor has some rubbish sources, and also does not appreciate how to put them into context (for example, a book might say there is only one preserved ROD 2-8-0 in the UK, and so the editor removes mention of other preserved RODs. Or even a book called "Preserved Locos in the UK" might say that there is only one preserved ROD 2-8-0, with the source ignoring the rest of the world). Some of the edits on small heritage railways (Mangapps and Colne Valley) seem ok (but they are hard to check).

You have to admire their persistence (coming back week after week), and I think they are genuinely trying to improve things. It's a shame they don't engage on talk pages – the only connection has been to remove a warning notice once on an address talk page (at least they seem to look at them...), with some edit comments showing a lot of frustration. They usually spend 30 – 60 mins on a session, and often have more than one session over the weekend.

IP address details[edit]

Most addresses are dynamic, so presumably get dropped when a machine is re-booted or a router is reset. They all seem to be handled by the same BT host which looks like it covers the East Anglia area (I guess that whenever you check one of these address the location will already have changed since the original edits were made). However, three are static (Ely, Bury, and Huntingdon – all very near to each other), and the other fixed address is in Morecambe (but edits from this address have been made during the week). I'm guessing the guest editor is often working away from home during the week. They do appear to have come back most weekends since the end of August right up to 1st Jan 2015. It is possible that the number of different dynamic IP addresses is not a deliberate ploy – someone who is working away from home during the week might turn off everything (including a router) and switch everything back on when returning home on a Friday.

Add column "number of edits"? Also mark an IP address if all edits reverted/checked?

Affected articles[edit]

~50/~150 have a colour status (early Thursday 8 Jan)

  • If all are reverted I've mark the article "(clear)"
  • If some edits are current (that is, still in the article) then:
    • (green) if checked and seems to be ok
    • (orange) – not yet checked – some of these on well watched pages may well be ok, I just can't tell – also on some frequently edited pages the original edits may have disappeared in later (non-revert) edits
    • (red) – error that needs fixing

Pre-cursors[edit]

There are some precursors: 86.163.28.102 – sensible edits on List of preserved Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST locomotives and Hunslett company (on 2nd Aug 2014 (Saturday) and using a dynamic IP from BT in East Anglia region); List of preserved Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST locomotives 86.163.28.127 and 86.157.78.224

Possible actions[edit]

  • I'll quietly go through checking any edits that are still current, but anyone is free to chip in... Feel free to update the table above to show progress.
  • Oddly enough, I'd remove the protection on LMS Princess Coronation Class 6233 Duchess of Sutherland. It, along with a number of pages, are regulars for our mystery editor, and can act as canaries in the mine shaft. If they move to a different area, then they may do (unnoticed) damage elsewhere...
  • Blocking dynamic IP addresses won't achieve much (and blocking ranges would wipe out access for a lot of BT users in East Anglia... Although I'm on Sky so I don't mind too much :)
  • Maybe worth putting a personalised notice on each of the fixed IP addresses? Only way we stand a chance of making contact.
