Gloria Borger has been vandalized with bogus mentions of "Pew News" numerous times by a truly amazing number of IPs. The article was temporarily protected, but the vandalism resumed after this expired, and I've requested protection again. This seems like the work of a single editor, and in researching it I was surprised at how numerous the edits were over a few days. I warned this username, and an instance of IP vandalism followed. — TAnthonyTalk 15:14, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just reverted three more bogus edits under three different IPs/usernames.— TAnthonyTalk 15:17, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Reverted Brooke Baldwin which had been vandalized with "pew news" references by two logged in users and two IPs not listed above (surrounding a valid edit). A search suggests yet more articles have been targeted recently; taking a look now. David Brooks (talk) 00:41, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

 * - Given the diversity of IP's and the origins of the joke, this actually just looks like garden variety vandalism to me. Obviously page protection is deeply necessary one way or the other. Blocking the IP's isn't going to do much. Please report any of the accounts to WP:AIV if they continue their vandalism, but that seems unlikely to me. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
