Mass changes of "Native American" to "American Indian" in over a dozen articles against consensus. Warned by six users, including two admins (Doug Weller and myself, see user talk). Then, after final warnings, resumes pattern under WP:LOUTSOCK with IP at one of same articles (Native Americans in the United States). These are just a few diffs to show the pattern. The mass spree had no edit summaries:


 * Fallyisback: "Native Americans are Alaska natives and American Indians. The census describes the indigenous people’s of America as American Indians."; "The US census describes native Americans as American Indians plus Alaska natives, Saying Native American and Alaska natives isn’t proper as Alaska native are also Native Americans."; same edit, no edit summary.


 * 2600:387:3:801::82: "Census record denotes the population as American Indians and Alaska Natives, and Native Americans are made up of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Hence, it makes no sense to say Native American and Alaska Native, specifically when referring to The US census and it’s denoting."

 * Nothing for CU to do here. ST47 (talk) 20:14, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, I understand. I think it's clear what's going on here, but I wanted to start a paper trail because I'm seeing a pattern here. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * That's fine, and an admin is welcome to review and make a decision based on the behavior. It just isn't a case for CU, hence updating the status. ST47 (talk) 20:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * If this user disrupts again I think either Doug or I can handle it ourselves, but as we do edit some of these articles, it's probably cleaner to get other admins on it. :) - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 21:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I left a warning about IP editing on User talk:Fallyisback, but I'm not seeing this as anything SPI can handle. If they continue, block them for disruptive editing, and/or use semi-protection.  I'm going to close this.  -- RoySmith (talk) 22:28, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
