On 20 June 2015, 114.167.178.175 posted a message on my talk page (User talk:Emeraude) asking why I had tagged some articles for notability - he had reverted not just the notability tag but the entirety of my edits. I responded, and reverted again. Subsequently, 153.230.154.119 and 153.202.187.153 posted on my talk page. I suggested this was sock puppetry; the next posting was from 153.205.19.189 openly admitting they were all the same person. In the three months since, this person has engaged in a campaign against me that has involved reverting every single edit I make (though sometimes without using the revert button) and has gone through the list of every article I have created as shown on my User page and made edits to them that wre intended to be disruptive. At no time have any of these IP addresses made any other edits to Wikipedia.

Concerned about the possiblilty, I did report this issue as a potential edit war about 21 June and this was taken up by User:EdJohnston who banned the IP ans semi-protected some articles. He has also attempted to help with later issues. Further detail of correspondence between me and User:EdJohnston is in his talk page and archives, at User talk:EdJohnston/Archive 37, User talk:EdJohnston/Archive 37 and User talk:EdJohnston.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Checkuser won't be of assistance here, as there aren't any accounts involved. It's likely the IPs are all related to the same individual as a result of a dynamic IP. Some of the IPs are too stale to consider a block and there's too much collateral damage to implement a range block. If the issue becomes quite persistent, it might be best to request page protection for the affected articles. Mike V • Talk 18:00, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
