I'm opening this investigation against the newly created account, K812 in regards to the Angelicum College article. He is making strikingly similar edits to the long-time vandal of 121.97.26.20, and most recently also 203.215.116.45 and 121.97.142.124. The aforementioned users like to add names, presumably themselves or twists thereof, with absurd honorifics to the notable alumni section. Names with titles such as "Supreme Leader of Asia" or "Undefeated UFC champion, NBA all-star". However, this person exerts a strage pattern where he/she reverts their own edits, then usually sticks with one final vandalistic edit without removing it. Below are some sample diffs per account:

K812 (new account): 

121.97.26.20 (long-term vandal, see talk page): 
 * Other obvious vandalism from this user:

203.215.116.45: 

121.97.142.124: 

The evidence is fairly suggestive that these accounts are related. A simple IP lookup showed they're all in the same area, albeit likely anyway given the locale of the university. Considering the edits are strictly vandalism, I'd recommend a block on each of meaningful duration. &mdash; MusikAnimal talk 04:41, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
