107.195 is a static IP that was blocked 4 times (now for 3 months, just after a two-weeks block) for several vandalisms mixed with some useful (or better, non-vandalic) edits. this was my AIV report in october, that I copy here to leave to you an idea of his behavior:
 * Anon with a long career of vandalisms (see his talk), with an interest into Chernobyl disaster-related pages (see 1st or 2nd example), massive content change/removal (see some examples: Feb 26, 2016 - Sept 4, 2016 - yesterday), etc... Following his contribs (and style) from 2015, it loos clear that this is a static IP (edits, for example, on Wolf attacks on humans in Nov. 2015 and March 2016; on The Body Shop in Sep. 2016 and Dec. 2015); on Paraben in Nov. 2015 and March 2016; on HIV-positive people in Jan. and Sep. 2016). After a final warning (2 days ago) for a vandalism of September, fixed by me only on October 17, this is his last edit... Ah yes, of course, he has also the habit to remove references (Just take a look to another example). Still blocked twice (36 hrs and 1 week), static per DUCK, I suggest a long block (2 years or more), removing also the possibility to use his talk. This user is doing a lot of damage from July 2015, vandalisms are difficult to detect and fix and, in spite of any warning (he prefers to use his talk for trolling or other childish vandalisms as 1 or 2), he insists to vandalize. Well, it is a real a waste of time to follow user's actions, last blocks weren't sufficient, vandalisms continue from Summer 2015: only a (very) long block could be (IMHO) a solution to make him understand that he isn't free to vandalize anything without any consequences. And this continued mystification of data, removal of refs, infoboxes, text etc is a big damage, especially if it passes mostly unnoticed. I recommend to block him as soon as possible: as noticed by the links above, his only actions in response to alerts are igonring them or, at least, use 'em to make fun of the project.

After last block, some days ago, several 2602:306:BC37:4FD0 anon vandals did some vandalisms: "2602 etc 77B9" edited 107's UP (as did by another 2602:306 yesterday, see this identical diff by 107, in march) and after vandalized Samosely (vandalized by 107 in September) and hand washing (still vandalized by 107 a day before). Note that Drmies blocked him as SP of 107...

Anyway, "2602 etc 8B31" edited hand washing, did a partly valid edit here and vandalized Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (as did by "2602 etc fe10" and "2602 etc 2492"). The same "2602 etc 2492" vandalized (twide) Willondon's UP (1st and 2nd), because he reverted some of his vandalisms. "2602 etc 419B" has no edits but his talk was edited on March 12 by 107 (Unblock me; I should not be blocked from editing!) after a block.

Btw, I opened this SPI using SimplyVenus' name just to leave a thrace using a name instead of an IP. SimplyVenus did 3 edits on Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (another page visited by "the 2602s" some days ago, and by "107") just after an edit by a 2602. On Hand washing, he/she did a pair of edits (and this is very similar to this by 107: WP:DUCK): note 107's habit to change, massively, some terms (soap/wash, Pripyat/Chernobyl, reduction/deduction).

To summarize, this vandal, specialized in Chernobyl disaster, soap, human biology and wolves, is very disruptive and, IHMO, totally untrustable and in bad faith. I particularly noted the bad faith in some details of his editing:
 * All his edits (user, ipmaster, socks), even in long pages as Chernobyl Exclusion Zone or Hand washing, never indicate a section in edit summary, making 'em much more difficult to check and correct. With this trick, for example, I need much more time to locate where was a minor edit in a big page. Is it possible to never click a section, even for a minor edit (1/2 bytes), in a 50+ k page? I don't think is a case.
 * His way to edit, sometimes, makes unusable the option "undo".
 * His habit to do some regular edits (mixed with pure nonsenses) is IMHO a way to create confusion (good faith mistakes by a noob).
 * The habit of changingmassively a word, or to do unhelpful edits that aren't blatant vandalisms, is another way, IMHO, to create confusion.
 * And... just to talk... Many people know the Chernobyl disaster, and much of them confuse the cities of Chernobyl and Pripyat. An user who did many edits about this argument (and modifies a section about a recent declaration of a Ukrainian minister) should confuse 'em (ex.: 01, 02...)?

To summarize: 107.195/SimplyVenus is doing a complex work of clever vandalisms since 2015. My suggestion for 107 is to extend the block (2 years or more), also for evasion. If possible (I really don't know) a rangeblock of the IPs "2602:306:BC37:4FD0" should be useful, and also the protection of some pages, including his talks. Thanks for attention and sorry if the title of this page was wrong. Dэя-Бøяg 17:47, 13 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Note: I found other of IP's. This edited on Macy's (edited by 107): "2602 etc f381", "2602 etc D1E7" and "2602 etc d1da". This edited on Shaving cream (also edited by 107): "2602 etc e505" (see the usual massive change of terms), "2602 etc 9862", "2602 etc 3d50", "2602 etc 916d" and "2602 etc f6be". "2602 etc e638" edited on L'Oréal. This edit in The Body Shop (another page visited by 107) was did in September. Other 2602 etc vandalisms in HIV-positive people: this just before a vandalism by 107, this other some hours after. My suspect is that the list should be very larger, I just checked the histories of some pages edited by 107. Just to see, the history of wolf attacks on humans (with lots of edits by 107 months ago) was edited by "2602" and also by "2601" and "2600". Anyway, I listed also 2601:82:201:40E6:4532:BABE:DD73:88B5, blocked a month for vandalisms: it seems a different vandal but did 2 suspect vandalisms on L'Oréal. The destructive action is, at this point, very evidenter and viral. I believe it is urgent to stop this, that seems like a deliberate and massive attack on Wikipedia. --Dэя-Бøяg 18:32, 13 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Note-2: If it is any doubt about the fact that SimplyVenus is 107.195, that's the "duck" proof (look: Nov. 12 by 260 etc d5c9, April 29 by 107.195). --Dэя-Бøяg 04:17, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

 * - These are all IPs. GABgab 20:18, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * - There is nothing to do here. All the IPs are stale.  All the IPs last edited before mid November.  Some of the IPs last edited in September and at least one has no edits.  The master is blocked indef already.  Going through and comparing editing habits would be a waste of time.  - GB fan 19:39, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
