 * After these repeated reverts Be Black Hole Sun was issued a 3RR warning for edit warring on the article.

 * IP's fourth edit to re-add the Be Back Hole Sun's content here uses and edit summary writing/wording style that is exactly the same writing/wording style of edit summaries used by Be Black Hole Sun (as seen in previous links in this report and throughout the recent edit history of the Bryan Adams article.


 * Comments
 * Be Black Hole Sun is blocked until Thursday morning. IP 80.212.228.51 shows up a full day ahead of Be Black Hole Sun's block end and re-adds the exact same content and controversial references that Be Black Hole Sun was blocked for edit warring trying to re-add against the consensus of the other editors. IP also uses edit summaries similar to those used by blocked editor Be Black Hole Sun. Clearly the IP is being used to side-step the 3RR block still in effect to continue the edit war started earlier. Original blocking administrator User:East718 has been notified of the possible block aversion.
