Requester comments
I just added the entire range because this anon user uses IPs from this service provider and have not used any other service providers based on the history of the articles I watch. This IP range (registered to Telecom Italia) has a long history of vandalism on multiple articles. I have kept a record of their abusive editing which can be found here: User:Elockid/notes1.

Abuse summary
At first glance, many edits do not appear to be malicious if the data changed were accurate; however, it is not accurate and the pattern clearly indicates a similar M.O. across these multiple IPs. The user is linked by making nearly identical edits (i.e., 1 2 3 4) changing statistics, countries, and other data seemingly randomly. Motivation appears to be simple vandalism because the edits seem to have no underlying pattern. The user has been warned properly before each block but continues to make abusive edits which continue to the time of this filing.

Modus Operandi
The user targets mainly the page List of countries by Human Development Index and List of countries by life expectancy, vandalizing by inserting patently false facts. The user very often replaces countries with "Brazil" or makes other edits that relate to Brazil.
