A remarkably persistent and annoying anon who appeared some two months ago and is obsessed with fiddling with religion and ethnicity categories in a number of Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian biography articles. I caught him online about a month ago and tried to explain relevant policies to him, but he ignored it and proceeded as usual. His favourite category is Category:Croatian atheists, to which I added a boilerplate description clarifying detailed policies hoping that he might get it, but he simply deleted the description three times already in the past five days , ,. He's engaged in edit wars in a number of articles, offers no sources in any of his edits and is totally unresponsive. He is also fond of insisting on adding redundant parent categories or subcategories.  Timbouctou ( talk ) 07:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

I have blocked 31.147.0.0/17 2 weeks as a result; I hope this will suffice. –MuZemike 07:44, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Seems too lenient IMO but we'll see what happens. The guy is a real pain to clean up after.  Timbouctou ( talk ) 08:06, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it is fairly large of a range; I'm not certain this will stop it, but it's an effort. –MuZemike 08:09, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
