Shows an obsession with inserting (mostly unsourced) illness details into biographical articles and infoboxes, and simply re-adding them when reverted, often in the middle of sentences that already have citations, but that don't verify the new claim. This time, anonymous IP(s) adding the same unsourced "AIDS" death claim to Larry Rickles again, 5 days after page protection expired. This has been going on since 2017-07-01 from 99.203.11.26 and several addresses in the 2606:6000:624e:ce00::/64 range, along with other unsourced cause-of-death edits to Daniel von Bargen and AIDS claim for Howard Rollins from 2606:6000:624e:ce00:d9d6:6e4b:5ff9:3ab0 (see ) going back to not-in-source claim in by 75.111.23.117. Some other illness edits by this range going back to 2017-06-25:
 * 2017-06-25: claim that James MacArthur died of cancer,, then the next month
 * 2017-07-04: 2606:6000:624E:CE00:11D6:FC27:3662:904B added an unsourced claim that Richard Benjamin Harrison had a stroke: ;.
 * 2017-07-30: on Brad Davis (actor) and then.
 * 2017-09-06:
 * 2017-11-08: 2606:6000:624E:CE00:5D6D:E3BF:7386:8D9A for Noel Neill
 * The IPv6 address 2606:6000:624E:CE00:F43C:4C21:217F:E0FC has made possibly-accurate and self-corrected edits to the death in Martin Landau also.
 * The IPv6 range also adds names of children to some articles. Closeapple (talk) 08:22, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * I blocked the /64 IPv6 range for 3 months for edit warring. Other three IPs do not have recent enough edits.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

The cancer and AIDS-related-pneumonia vandal is back. Same /24 as earlier this month, and contribution history is self-evident. Closeapple (talk) 11:58, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Blocking individual IP's is unlikely to accomplish anything here, and the /24 range is a little too be busy for a range block to be viable. Closing without action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:38, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

The "AIDS related pneumonia" vandal has shown up again. This time on Larry Rickles, and using https://alchetron.com/Larry-Rickles (a mirror of the editor's own vandalism of Wikipedia) as a reference. How's that for chutzpah?
 * on Larry Rickles
 * on same article
 * on same article, a week later, after being reverted
 * 2604:CA00:1EC:82E2:0:0:861:EEBC seems to have made less-controversial-looking (but unsourced and possibly false) biographical edits to other articles just before starting the Larry Rickles vandalism. Closeapple (talk) 03:36, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
