69.3.117.138 was cautioned for edit-warring on American exceptionalism 18:44 July 26 2013 after making three edits to the lead. 75.36.33.18 then made a similar edit 20:35, 26, July 2013.  In this edit he changed "belief" to theory. 69.3.117.138 had removed "theory" in his first edit, and said it was "Not a theory" in his description of another edit.

Both IPs are located in Southern California.

I am adding Tb8oasey. This is an account with only one edit, which is similar to those of the others. Its first edit was made after 69.3.117.138 was again cautioned for edit-warring.  TFD (talk) 06:48, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

I am adding another IP, 69.3.118.118, which is almost certainly the same as 69.3.117.138. TFD (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

The article American exceptionalism has now received semi-protection for 3 days. TFD (talk) 08:09, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

 * The IPs and Tb8oasey are linked by their exact same edits to American exceptionalism, and the edit-warring style. I think Tb8oasey should be indeffed and the IPs blocked for a short while. Another fix is to semi-protect the article. Binksternet (talk) 20:24, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Closed. The person is allowed to have a dynamic home (?) IP and a mobile IP. Subsequently registering an account is also acceptable. However, if 3RR is being breached, please report it to WP:AN3, but I see the page has been semiprotected already. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:12, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
