Tag team edit warring in to remove the same image, against Talk page consensus. Both anons appear to be from the same location. 65.183.142.159 took the trouble to remove a warning from User talk:Magustrench.
 * Evidence

A checkuser would be helpful.

Evidence from APK Magustrench (who is a fan of vandalizing) began removing the photo on June 15th saying it was "unnecessary." I revert because the picture has been discussed on the talk page and consensus was to leave it because it illustrates the subject. Magustrench reverts. On June 17, 24.14.14.240 removes the picture without an edit summary. On June 18, 65.183.142.159 removes the picture saying it "doesn't depict title/content of article", quite the opposite of the truth. I add it back and the IP reverts. 132.198.101.63 removes the photo. 65.183.142.159 and 132.198.101.63 are registered in Burlington, Vermont, and as mentioned above, 65.183.142.159 removed a warning from Magustrench's talk page.

The link to the 65.etc address is obvious based on removing the talk page warning. The link to 132.etc is less obvious because it made only one edit, at about 3:00 AM in Burlington, Vermont (UTC-4). Still, stranger things have happened, and it's hard to imagine why an uninvolved anonymous user would jump into the edit war.

I think, based on two relatively recent vandalism edits to George W. Bush as cited, and the clear gaming of 3RR shown here, Magustrench needs to be blocked for a week. I hope that will show him that his behavior needs to improve. Yechiel (Shalom) 02:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I have warned the user. He has not edited since June 22. Yechiel (Shalom) Editor review 18:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
