Wouldreal was blocked yesterday and his edits to Los Angeles Times were oversighted. Now these two show up and add the same material back again, first Boycott here and then the other one here. &mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:48, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Now there seems to be a COI issue as well, since here the Boycott LA Times one added a link to a site promoting a boycott of the LA Times. Is it necessary to leave a note at that noticeboard?&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:15, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

It's possible that User:McRibb is mixed up in this too, based on timing of yesterday's edits to the LA Times article.&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:27, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Here's another one: User:Destroy racist LA Times. Am I supposed to put these in checkuser templates up there?&mdash; alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:31, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

 * - I've blocked Boycott for the offensive comment they left here (and also on behavior), and I'll endorse to confirm and find sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:18, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
