Hazzard Dblon registered on 23 January and began editing on 24 January. The very first edit raised the importance of crust punk in the list of origin genres of Grindcore. This was immediately followed by a string of Peruvian IP edits making more shifts in the list of origin genres, diminishing the role of thrash metal and adding crust punk to the origin prose, which was immediately followed by Hazzard Dblon returning to make crust punk more important in the first sentence. So it's clear that new user Hazzard Dblon was editing logged out for a bit, then figured out how to stay logged in.

The user Eddy Zeng was registered on 19 February. Eddy Zeng supported Hazzard Dblon's edits, reverting to Hazzard Dblon's versions.

On 24 February, Eddy Zeng was blocked for 31 hours and Hazzard Dblon was blocked for one month. That was the last time either of them ever edited.

On 9 March, Grind History was registered. Grind History began editing a couple weeks later, beginning with the same edit of Hazzard Dblon and Eddy Zeng: the increased prominence of crust punk and the reduced importance of thrash metal.

The account is stale now, but User:Devils greens12 was blocked back in October 2020 for a bunch of similar changes, including the reduction in importance of thrash metal. A piece of evidence possibly linking Devils greens12 to the current case is that Devils greens12 cited Spanish-language Wikipedia, showing a possible connection to the IPs from Peru. Other Peruvian IPs that have edited the same page include Special:Contributions/181.224.233.38 in 2016, and in 2017 there was Special:Contributions/181.224.233.44, Special:Contributions/181.224.233.35 and Special:Contributions/190.237.143.200. All of these were concerned about the origins of Grindcore. Binksternet (talk) 05:09, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
