I softblocked Blc600west as a username violation. If they're the same user, then the person is free to edit as Bciesemier (assuming that only one person is behind that account and is not a role account). In any case, the page hasn't been touched in 3 weeks, so there's nothing to act on right now. –MuZemike 17:31, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
In chronological order, starting with most recent edit:

Evidence submitted by Closeapple
the last 9 months is mostly this sockpuppet's identical blanking 12 times. It's now operating purely from anonymous IPs as far as I can tell, and has gotten more aggressive recently: 4 times this month (June 2010), 2 in the last 2 days. It has now added cut-and-paste marketing from http://www.bankers.com/AboutUs-CommunityPartnerships.aspx as well. "Final warnings" on talk pages do nothing, of course.
 * 67.102.5.238, 68.193.117.45, and 68.193.117.45 are Covad IPs issued from Manhattan.
 * 68.193.117.45 is a Cablevision IP issued from Warren, New Jersey.
 * 205.144.127.75 is Conseco/Bankers Life and Casualty itself in Carmel, Indiana through nFrame in Carmel.
 * 98.250.1.62 is a Comcast IP now in Michigan. --Closeapple (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Page protected, which should hopefully quiet things down. TN X Man 16:27, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Given the geological range of the IPs, I'm pretty sure this isn't sockpuppetry. If anything, it's most likely meatpuppetry of those who work for the company. In this situation, semi-protection would be our best bet. Icestorm815  •  Talk  00:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
