69.66.187.17 is an IP based out of either eastern Iowa or southeastern Minnesota who has confined their edits to six-seven television stations in the area, along with Iowa Public Television. Their edits were bizarre tangents about how television stations live with each other, moving their transmitters and studio locations to cities completely different from where they were, and even after advisement several times to read up on the WP:MOS, they continued editing in this manner, which included odd two-word editing summaries resembling other LTA's of the past. After several blocks, the IP was given a rare three-year block for just editing in their odd manner without acknowledging any concerns.

205.185.155.17 is also out of the same area and shares the same editing styles and trademarks, suggesting that they reside with the same user. 69. is a paid Windstream Communications DSL IP, while 205. is with Ace Telephone from what I suspect is a POTS dial-in account. Evidence is pretty strong that both are the same and a CU is not requested here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:50, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Requesting Checkuser attention. It appears that the IPs are linked, and block evasion is obvious by the behavior. LightandDark2000 (talk) 00:37, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Return of this IP vandal making the same edits as previously done on Iowa TV station articles that are unsourced or unintelligible gibberish. A long rangeblock might be appropriate if possible since these are dial-up IPs from a glance at WHOIS.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:48, 23 June 2014 (UTC)  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:48, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
