South Tyrol
Hi Sp4rr0W, there are basically two options to protect pages against vandalism. One is to (semi)protect the pages, see Protection policy. Since most of the vandalism here is from IP's, semiprotection would be sufficient. The disadvantage is that "good" IP's can't edit the articles either.

The other option is to block the vandalising IP's and users. Given the disruptive nature of their edits and the repeating pattern (changing Tyrol to Tyröl, removing German names, calling the county of Tyrol a colony, adding silly stories about Geppetto Maestro etc., calling other people fascists and neonazis), I wouldn't be surprised if they're all (including Kellyempire) the same person. If they start attacking the articles again, we have to give them the warnings (like Uw-vandalism2), and if they persist, we should report them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
