Sample edit-warring/tendentious edits by IP sock of Cpochin
 * 1st edit: Ignoring the insanity of being chrged for using an extremely dangerous single carriageway road, be warned that if your vehicle exceeds 2m IN HEIGHT you will be charged a heck of a lot more. Date stamp: 21 August 2010
 * 2nd edit: Completion by the end of 2011 is Impossible. No progress has been made in the last year, apart from more reflective signs, and more concrete barriers. Date stamp: 14 October 2011.
 * 3rd edit: The truth is that the Greeks will NOT finish this dangerous road in 2011, no progress has been made at all in 2010. This will be deleted by the semi-anonymous {rpa redacted}(Greek), to reduce nationalistic embarrassment. Including personal attack. Date stamp: 12 November 2011.
 * Insults on my talk: So you can censor your own page as well, and delete anything YOU don't like. Just like the generals. Regards Charles. The truth will out. Date stamp: 17 October 2011
 * Insults on the article talk: Censorship The article states that the road is the "most dangerous in Greece". I add some facts, and a Greek censors them. Good for the freedom of speech. Date stamp: 17 October 2011


 * The IP 81.174.172.68 is considered a sockpuppet of per WP:DUCK.

Typical Cpochin edits:
 * "Features" being vast numbers of concrete blocks, and reflective signs. No progress has been made in the last year, and it is laughable to think it will be complete by the end of 2011. Definitely the worst "Toll motorway" in the world. on Greek National Road 8A. Datestamp: 31 August 2011.
 * ...2011, not by this nation of derelicts stumbling along in the shadow of their illustrious ancestors on Greek National Road 8A. Date stamp: 14 September 2011
 * The only thing the Greeks do well is make unnecessary noise, and at that they are truly world champions. Called suicide alley by those who know. on Greek National Road 8A. Date stamps: 31 August 2011, 23 September 2011
 * Piraeus is probably the dirtiest most unrewarding part of a dirty, mostly unrewarding, city. The roads are used as a racetrack by the noisiest crappiest little motorbikes until the early hours, and the "promenade" around Marina Zeas is used by the locals as a canine, and human toilet. The resulting stench on a hot day is epic. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. on Athens. Date stamp: 2 October 2011

Cpochin has not engaged in edit-warring recently but delegated this task to their IP 81.174.172.68 sock. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 17:31, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Reply to the closing admin: This type of determined, slow-moving, long-term vandalism is difficult to report using the standard Wikipedia fora. Their edit-warring is too slow to be reported to WP:3RRN, their vandalism is too long-term for AIV to catch and ANI is also iffy, so I chose to report them here. I think the IP could have been blocked for tendentious editing/vandalism even if we assume that Cpochin edited while logged out. Please also note that the IP identifies themselves as "Charles" on my talkpage as they personally attacked me and "C" is the first letter of Cpochin's username. I think they have given themselves away already. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 15:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Or maybe Cpochin just forgot to log in? It's possible they're the same, but not quite enough to convict, I think. Relist here (or AIV) as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:48, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the account as VOA. Their first three edits were fine, and then all of a sudden, over a year later, nothing but the above-noted rants. Dr. K., if more of this happens, request protection please. Drmies (talk) 19:57, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
