Comments by other users
I have been following this user for several months. Daily reverts and unconstructive changes have been made to at least a handful of articles (all Michael Jackson related), which have caused disruption and loss of stability (and have even resulted in articles being locked due to edit-warring). These edits are often word-for-word repetitions of factually incorrect information (such as dates), and sometimes even leave the article with the same grammatical errors.

I have made a list of 14 IPs that have been doing this (see here), but there are a couple more IPs that I didn't record), and all of these are from Miami. Often these IPs only ever make one edit.

The user has also left abusive comments, for example [|here] and [|here] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.22 (talk) 22:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

– The IPs are clearly the same person. No reason to run a CU here. Remember, CheckUser is not magic pixie dust. –MuZemike 01:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
