 * User:65.208.22.25 removed valid, sourced information on January 29, 2010, based on his/her personal assessment of the source. In fact, the source was valid, as I elaborated on in my reversion of his/her edit.
 * User:Josephjames21 added unsourced material to the same article, on February 5, 2010, and then, after it was reverted (a reversion that properly cited the relevant policies), again on February 6, without citing any rationale or providing any edit summary. After looking through Josephjames' Talk Page history (he had blanked the page), I found over a year's worth of warnings for violating WP:V/WP:NOR-related policies, such as WP:SYNTH, and adding defamatory content to articles (as well as other things like copyright violation, content blanking, exhibiting WP:OWN-type behavior, a total of three past blocks [two of which were for violating WP:3RR], and a number of warnings for unspecified disruptive editing). I left a strongly-worded final warning on his Talk Page letting him know that I was aware of this history of his, and would block him if he continued to behave this way.
 * Today on February 7, 2010, User:99.236.250.251 removed the same information that User:65.208.22.25 had previously removed on January 29, again with no edit summary or discussion. Given that this is the same material previously deleted without cause, and the fact that it occurred the day after I gave a final warning to Josephjames21, I suspect that User:99.236.250.251 may possibly be either User:65.208.22.25 or Josephjames21 or both. If I am mistaken in this, then I apologize in advance.

I'm having a hard time seeing a connection between Josephjames21 and the IPs. Aside from the Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, all accounts seem to edit different articles, while the two IPs squarely fixate on Kari Ann Peniche not being a cast member. I don't see Josephjames21 warring over that in the history (unless I missed something). –MuZemike 23:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Nobody else has chimed in. I'm going to mark as closed as I don't think the IPs are him. –MuZemike 17:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
