They all seem to have a/n (partial) obsession with this idea that Alan Sagner is dead ([//www.google.com/search?safe=active&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS776US777&biw=1366&bih=637&tbm=nws&ei=iuZSWq3YM4a2jwSs3oeYCw&q="Alan+Sagner" he isn't]). A look at the Editor Interaction Utility on the page provide great insight into this matter.

I set pending changes protection on the Alan Sagner article. IP's and new editors can still edit the article, but their changes will not be visible to non-logged-in readers until/unless approved. This doesn't resolve the possible SPI issue, but it will lessen the impact of the vandalism. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:42, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I have not done (and will not be doing) a CU here, but I'll mention that publicly doable "whois" checks on the three IP's mentioned in this SPI suggest they are from three very different parts of the world (USA, Iran, and Poland). — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Alan Sagner has, in fact, died. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 18:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
