I issued a last notice warning about edit-warring, which I then followed up with a gentle notice, kindly asking the IP to engage in talk-page discussions and to provide edit summaries. The edit-warring, with rigid reinsertions and stereotypical grammatical-error tics, continues unchanged from the 2 new neighboring IP addresses. There should be a range block. (IMHO the rigidity of the behavior suggests little reason to wish that this editor can improve.) Kiefer .Wolfowitz 10:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added another IP: 119.154.7.50. Kiefer .Wolfowitz 14:49, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ditto 119.154.50.222. Kiefer .Wolfowitz 16:45, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the protections. Range blocking sections of the 10 million + inhabitants of Lahore wasn't my best suggestion. Kiefer .Wolfowitz 10:55, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

According to robtex, this range extends to a /13. Just going off the IPs you listed, the range is a /17, which is technically feasibly, but would cause a tremendous amount of collateral. TN X Man 19:03, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * HJ Mitchell protected Statistics; I just protected Mathematician. Hopefully that keeps them at bay for awhile. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:50, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Automaton-like edits to statistics and statistician, failure to provide edit summaries, failure to discuss edits or to respond to others. This automaton-like editing occurred ASAP after the protection on the pages expired.

The IP range cannot be blocked, because it would block huge areas of Lahore. Page protection is needed (one month or more, imho). This guy is not going away.

Please block the Waugh account ASAP (indefinitely or at least one month, imho).

 * Thank you for the correct action and clear explanation. I should have clarified that (1) an SPI was probably a waste of time, because of the obvious sockpupetry and (2) that I was really requesting an extension of the protections for statististician and statistics (besides a block of the new Mark Vaughn account).
 * Thanks again, Kiefer .Wolfowitz 12:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
