Evidence submitted by Manway
Last 15 days IP editors have been making the same claims to Mark Consuelos article. Claiming that he is in a relationship with Bryan Johnson, that he is good friends with Bryan Johnson, and that he is married to Bryan Johnson. All the above IPs at one point used the name Bryan Johnson. Vandalism reveretd on all cases, but vandalism continues. BLP issue as well. --Manway (talk) 06:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I have no desire to listen to the entire bloody podcast to hear what it says on the topic, but given the disparate location of some of those IPs (AZ, NY, MA, FL, CO, and GB) it seems like this is maybe just a bunch of fans? Odds are at least one of the IPs is the account since it's over two years old and just made its first edits, but is there any reason to suspect that semi-protection won't solve the major issues? ~ Amory ( u •  t  •  c ) 14:27, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Per Amory. At best we have meatpuppetry here (I don't suspect those IPs to be proxies) but it's likely just some fans. The main page has already been protected and might probably lose interest because of that. I recommend RFPP the next time if this happens since this is the main article that's being targeted.
