User keeps vandalizing articles by the insertion of factual errors and persists despite warnings. Deliberate insertion of factual errors at Lac La Biche, Alberta: Warning diffs re: vandalism at Lac La Biche, Alberta: Three warnings from others re: other articles between level 2 and level 3 warnings above: Contribution comparisons of subject editor and other IPs: Bottom line is user has been unresponsive to warnings placed on talk page in terms of actions or discussion.

I think it's possible that it's the same person; it could be someone who commutes between Edmonton and Ft McMurray. But in my opinion this sockpuppet report is unnecessary. I will protect the article for one week and will watch-list for further activity. -- Dianna (talk) 03:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * As Dianna said, this is better handled by protecting the article, especially since single blocks on dynamic IP addresses tend to be ineffective. Closing. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 03:07, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
