 * Report submission by

See WP:LTA for this vandal's MO. Looks like he's returned and has started editing from the 172.1xx.xx.xxx range, hitting his usual target articles with plausible-sounding false info and unreferenced (probably completely made up) 'vocal range' references. I've managed to keep on top of it so far - but perhaps a range block may be in order?
 * Evidence

Based on the LTA report, I'd consider this a match. Short-term blocks should be sufficient because the furor seems to have died down after this report was posted. A range-block would probably be overkill, but it was a good idea two days ago. Shalom Hello 04:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * It's still continuing without any sign of abating. The last two IPs on the list (just added) have been active today, with the same old. He's like a dog with a bone. It seems to be quite difficult to get his IPs blocked on the fly, as AIV are reluctant to block unless a final warning has been given (by which time, he's switched IPs). --Kurt Shaped Box 13:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, all JJonathan-style IP edits, but all are stale and haven't been used recently. Short of a range block or semi-protecting the most frequently hit pages, I'm not sure there's anything to be done at this point. Thanks for your continued vigilance in reverting and reporting these; apologies not to catch this sooner. MastCell Talk 21:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
