Buffalo8 was partially blocked today from editing Intelligence Quotient after being reported to EWN:. Their pattern of edit warring was very consistent, adding the same exact 184-character text over and over again, totaling 9 times between today and December 7–8.

Nomdeplume8's other edit is this one to England Swings which clearly goes beyond mere grammatical correction yet bears that same edit summary:. Compare e.g. these diffs from Buffalo8, which are all substantive edits with precisely the same deceptive edit summary: .Combined with the inclusion of the same final digit "8" in both usernames and the fact that "Nomdeplume" means "pen name", it seems that this user is likely trolling us while block evading.
