 * makes "grammatical" and "style" corrections in articles which seem (at least to me) to change the meaning, possibly due to a different understanding of the English language.
 * Seems to have quit
 * Links to aaft.com seem to mostly inappropriate, but I'll need to check them one by one.
 * Active, but seems to be doing other things

Global warming / climate change

 * current list (from 12 January 2012 or so) maintained at User:Arthur Rubin/IP list. Editors are welcome to add (but not subtract) from the list.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * 99 anon (and 97.87.29.188 and 209.255.78.138, 108.73.115.71, 216.250.156.66 and possibly 24.11.21.141) adding easter eggs, inappropriate #See also and seealso links, and clearly inappropriate categories to many global-warming-related articles. Although "it" is clearly a single person on a floating IP, it seems not subject to 3RR.  Style factors in favor of their being the same person include:
 * Adding links to global warming and climate change whenever one is appropriate, often using incorrect and ungrammatical phrases (global warming] and resulting climate change).
 * Linking scientific opinion on climate change whenever an opinion about climate change or global warming is mentioned, or something referring to climate change is loosely related to the subject of the article.
 * It used to link 350.org whenever the number 350 appeared in a Wikipedia article, as well as linking to any and all climate change articles from 350.org.
 * Using "also see" instead of "See also" in section headers and in text.
 * Severely WP:OVERLINKING in text and in edit summaries, usually linking every word in edit summaries

However, I am subject to 3RR, so I'm noting (some) of the articles in which they are adding this material. I suspect the only solution is to permanently semiprotect all climate change articles, broadly defined.
