This IP (which seems to be static) appears to be clearly connected to the blocked account User:Michaelkorscorp. The majority of their edits are to Michael Kors, making edits which seems to be directly PR-approved, violating WP:Neutral. Recent instances are: 1 and 2. It is not really vandalism, but it is block evasion and PR-ification of the article, and they have been warned about this over a period of years since User:Moonriddengirl first noticed a connection back in 2011 (see User talk:64.20.161.14). I did a quick-and-dirty IP check that immediately confirmed that this IP belongs to Michael Kors. As this is such a clear cut case of block evasion/non-neutral editing in defiance of warnings (are they really not seeing alerts of messages on their talk page?) I am reporting it here. It's kind of a shame, because I'm sympathetic to their wishes to improve the article, but if they're not paying attention to warnings, and have been doing so since 2011 (I'm guessing not the same person every time) it seems the only option left is to report it. Also pinging User:Bearian who also seems aware of the issue. Mabalu (talk) 10:20, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the ping, . FWIW, I am a fan of Kors (which I've disclosed previously), and took a picture of him for use on this article when I met him a year and a half ago. That being said, I am concerned about the PR-ification of this article into a free web host. I would support the blocking and/or banning of the offending users.
