The IP editor was consistently being disruptive in continually changing images in the article Gabapentin that consensus on the talk page has decided is not the most appropriate. , ,

An AN3 case was raised by User:Jytdog and can be found at WP:AN3 which resulted in the article being semi protected. It has since become apparent that 174.60.194.10 is in fact User:Skullballons, as the latter has resumed the edit war replacing the exact same images with the exact same alternatives and the exact same changes to formatting. ,,. A very obvious duck

It should be pointed out that the Skullballons account prior to this edit war has been inactive since 2012. DieSwartzPunkt (talk) 10:33, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 * The user was not using the IP and the named account concurrently. He stopped using the IP, and switched to the named account. I warned him on his talk page against logged-out editing. There is nothing else to do here. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:01, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

These accounts are both 100% WP:SPA for Pregabalin and related articles. There edits consist of making zillions of tiny fiddling edits, changing the size of the image slightly, or rewording things slightly.. adding no value. Just fiddling. The quacking is deafening.

Sample Eharlacher edits - they are all like this per their contribs: Sample Skullballoon edits - they are all like this per their contribs:
 * dif - fiddling with image size
 * dif - fiddling with image size
 * dif - fiddling with image size
 * dif- fiddling with image size
 * dif- fiddling with image size
 * dif- fiddling including proprietary name (these go on and on)
 * dif- fiddling with lead, which moved content per
 * dif- this
 * dif- on no, let's put that here instead
 * dif- now fiddle with acronym
 * dif- now fiddle when chemical name
 * dif- fiddling with justification of chemical name
 * dif- fiddle a bit more with chemical name
 * dif - fiddling with image size
 * dif - fiddling with image size
 * dif - fiddling with image size

These editors fill my watchlist with junk edits and aren't adding any value, and this is clear SOCKING (for what purpose, I can't understand). Would be great if you would indef both of them. Jytdog (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC) Jytdog (talk) 21:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
