WP:DUCK. Two accounts with "summer" in the name, edit summaries and talk page messages in a foreign language (I think Italian?), and the same disruptive edits adding height and weight to the "name" parameter of the infobox of Rose Byrne and Diane Kruger. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:34, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

I don't understand. If you think it's a duck, why don't you block instead of coming here?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , erring on caution per WP:INVOLVED, properly documenting what will likely be an ongoing situation, and hoping there's some other way to get through to this person to stop. Does anyone here speak Italian? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:45, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You are not WP:INVOLVED. My suggestion is you block the named account, tag it (as suspected or proven), take whatever action you believe appropriate re the IP, and then close this. In that way, you will have disposed of the matter and made a record. Of course, I can't "force" you to act, especially if you really think you're INVOLVED. I speak a little bit of operatic Italian. Isn't a machine translation good enough?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:49, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , I guess that's an appropriate solution. Guess I'm not that involved if I'm just reverting, I just like to be conservative in that regard. The issue of what to do with the IPs, I'm not sure. Maybe pending changes protection? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:55, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You're reverting vandalism and socking. The IP has made only one edit. I have a personal bias against pending changes, so if I were going to do anything, I would semi-protect it. There hasn't been much disruption lately, though, so you could see what happens. If the IP (or another IP or account) keeps going, you could take action then. BTW, the IP's edit summary is "Ho aggiunto l'altezza e il peso "vero" di Rose Byrne, perfavore ve lo chiedoperfavore non cancellate quello che ho scritto". That means something like "I have added the true height and weight of Rose Byrne, please don't cancel (meaning revert in this instance) what I have written."--Bbb23 (talk) 17:02, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , it's been a slow but ongoing issue on that page over the summer. So I believe it will persist. For now, I'll consider semiprotection. The accounts are both blocked. This can be closed, until another account pops up. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
