Evidence submitted by Kintetsubuffalo
Per legwork done by user:Oda Mari, there have been 3 IP users adding "Korean origin" information to the article Kofun period. 165.214.4.23, 70.173.188.181, and 165.214.4.21. 1 original addition by 165.214.4.23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/165.214.4.23 (Nashville) HCA Hospital Corporation of America http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kofun_period&diff=prev&oldid=374046630 2 restored by 70.173.188.181 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.173.188.181 (Atlanta) Cox Communications Inc. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kofun_period&diff=next&oldid=374086966 3 restored by 165.214.4.21 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/165.214.4.21 (Nashville) HCA Hospital Corporation of America http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kofun_period&diff=next&oldid=374177448 And these three keep on adding. I think these three are a tag team. 165.214.4.23 and 165.214.4.21 seems like the same person. 70.173.188.181 is clearly a single-purpose account. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Single-purpose_account Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:59, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
. There's nothing checkuser could tell you here. 165.214.4.23 and 165.214.4.21 are both in 165.214.0.0/24 (and the IP owns the /16) so it's quite possible for them to be the same person, but the other listed IP doesn't even geolocate to the same state. --Deskana (talk) 19:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

If these IPs continue to persist, then please ask for an admin to semi-protect the article. –MuZemike 19:59, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
