January 28, 01:20: 1.39.1.4 made this edit: then made a legal threat against me using the curious plural pronoun "we":  so I blocked them for that

January 29, 04:56: I semi-protected the article.

January 29: Zaire mac repeats the same disruptive editing style three times:, ,

CheckUser is requested to find sleeper accounts, as Zaire mac only edited the article after it was semi-protected. There may be others waiting for that account to be blocked. Geniac (talk) 01:31, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Looking at the edits, the IPs are all focused on very specific topics and given the use of "we" and the legal threat, it's likely a PR agency working on the article. (Note that the IPs geolocate to about 3 different locations.) I didn't see any other accounts with the same focus, so I don't think a checkuser is of much help. Magioladitis has semi-protected the article for 2 months, which I think will help stop the issue. If accounts are made and continue, re-open this with a new case and we can take care of the meatpuppetry. Mike V • Talk 02:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
