"Hi there NUKE, VASCO here (with probably the last intervention of 2009!),

One user, Picolotto, has asked me again this favour - there is a vandal who has been specializing in the following: in players related with FC Barcelona (not always but most of the time), he has been inflating stats in box and creating some false situations (for instance, saying players have played for their countries - or unofficial autonomic regions - when they have not! - example here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Manuel_Pinto&diff=317948577&oldid=317573451).

As far as we know, his original account was Marvingroves ('contributions' here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Marvingroves), it was warned by me and it stopped. His brilliant idea? Creating account after accout (with the subsequent warnings by several users) and continuing doing the same (in succession, he opened Racheedmani (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Racheedmani), Wikusvandermerwe (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Wikusvandermerwe) and Malcolmwaller (here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Malcolmwaller)

Can anything be done in your opinion? Thank you very much in advance,

Assuming this is completed. Mailer Diablo, don't forget next time to change "endorse" in the RFCU to "checked" when you've completed the check so we know that the case can start to be wrapped up. Hopefully, running CU was fun :) –MuZemike 18:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
