This user called Colombianpubliclawcontributor., notorious in the Spanish-speaking community for their extreme political views (e.g. [1], [2 ], [3 ]), has been deliberately altering the opening paragraph of Álvaro Uribe's page with lots of grammar/spelling mistakes (e.g. [1], [2], [3]), in the name of "objectivity". For them, any attempt of following the MoS is "a form of censorship and manipulation" (e.g. [1]). They even told me that I was "censoring information about Uribe", that I was "a single-purpose account", and that I was "doing PR" for Álvaro Uribe. They stopped editing for a while after I told them that I didn't censor anything, explained them about the notability and opening paragraph guidelines, and warned them that I would ask an administrator to apply the 3RR to them if they kept altering the page's opening paragraph (they had already made more than 3 reverts when I warned them). On September 4, 2020, they came back and altered the page's opening paragraph again (e.g. [1]). I warned them that I didn't want to get into an edit war with them, and that the next time they did something like that, I would report them.

The next day, an user called Abogaeditor was created with the sole purpose of reverting my edits and altering the opening paragraph of Álvaro Uribe's page (e.g. [1], [2], [3]). I've also noticed that they make grammar/spelling mistakes similar to Colombianpubliclawcontributor.'s (e.g. [1], [2], [3]). They went so far as to remove all the information that was above the ToC. BTW, "Abogaeditor" is a combination of the words "abogado" (which means lawyer in Spanish) and "editor".

Two days ago, an IP vandalized Álvaro Uribe's page. As nobody reverted it, and in view of the poor state of the page in general, I decided to restore everything above the ToC to the way it was before Abogaeditor's edits. The same day, they and an IP that I suspect is them (because of their grammar/spelling errors, and they way the edit summary is written), reverted my edits (e.g. [1], [2]).

I therefore ask that appropriate measures be taken with the user(s), bearing in mind that, from the looks of it, they only care about promoting their political views. Thank you. Colombiaball (talk) 02:23, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Are you really using a twitter screenshot of right wing paramilitary twitter accounts to prove a point? What are the grammar mistakes? can't you fix them then? This rather shows you are harrassing me for daring to write something on the Uribe article which you have probably been paid to patrol. I was banned from spanish wikipedia for being a single purpose account even though I have edited almost all the important spanish colombian wikipedia articles including the one for Colombia. You on the other hand are quite clearly a single purpose account that does nothing but patrol the Uribe page for YEARS and knows all the wikipedia rules even if you barely ever edit which is very odd. Also the fact that keep such precise tabs on everything. If you go to the article you will find out you are the VANDAL since you are trying to burry the information about the Uribe arest from the introductory paragraph by copying information that is alrealdy on the text of the article right on top, which duplicates the size of the article without adding content. --Colombianpubliclawcontributor.

 * I'm really troubled by the conduct of the filing editor in this case, but I don't have time to address that right now. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 01:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that Colombianpubliclawcontributor. has been blocked on two other wikis, I'm going straight to indef here. Seems plausible that the IP is related, the /64 is blocked for one month. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:48, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
