The page Barcelona has become vandalized since begining of June, when introduced unbalanced content with a strong POV against the city. Since then, many different anonymous users and newbies have been introducing more and more non sourced false information with an extremely pejorative and sensationalist point of view. Most of them contributed only in this article or just in another one. Most of them had an empty User Page and most of them were writting some sentences in Catalan in the Edit summary, ,. Also all of them are making reversions without mantaining the corrections made. In the worst case, NORDKAPP, has even deleted the categories, the interwikis with other languages, (s)he has truncated the article, and he continues reverting to this terrible version of the article (also without the "protected" template).
 * Evidence

During the time the users (sock puppets?) changed, and the dynamic ips changed also. So, in the suspected sockpuppet list I just report the last possible sock puppets, but, along the time, the users who have been introducing this information and therefore perhaps also sock puppets but with a different ip because of the dynamic condition of the ips and the time, are:
 * Comments

It started (June 17th) introducing some non discussed controversial stuff and it was reverted. Then some vandalism was introduced and reverted to last version of Heliodore... mantaining the vandalism.

From June 19th till June 25, introduces againg the controversial data until the page is blocked. It expires on July 2nd. adds again the controversial material from July 4th until July 9th, when (s)he is blocked by 3RR. The anonymous 88.25.242.192 adds again the info with a edit summary in catalan. Another ip (81.32.134.180) adds again the info also with a comment in Catalan. Some hours later, a symilar range anonymous (81.32.135.116) adds it again. The same anonymous adds the information twice again the same day (81.32.135.116).

On July 12th, an anonynous of the range 83.33.xxx.xxx (83.33.34.172) attacks again. Now 83.40.74.135 adds again more controversial info. After finishing the block, Serrallonga attacks again on July 13th. This day, the ips 80.102.xxx.xxx start adding again the information and... copying it TWICE the article: (80.102.248.12). 80.25.3.93 help reverting the "normal version", this is, copying twice again the article. Some more contributions of 80.102.248.xxx copy twice again the controversial info (80.102.248.46, 80.102.248.60, 80.102.248.11). On July 15th, the other range (80.102.220.xxx) start (80.102.220.35).

Then, some more ip reversions (some 81.32.xxx.xxx, 83.33.xxx.xxx and 83.34.xxx.xxx)(specially interesting this one, with a summary edit in Catalan which says "more info on Gaudi work", and (s)he adds the controversial part again) and then adds again the same controversial info. 83.33.xxx.xxx adds again. Then some more 81.32.xxx.xxx and 83.33.xxx.xxx again. On July 24th, 80.102.xxx.xxx again.

On July 25th Barcelona is blocked again because of the anonymous disruptive behaviour. Some tranquility and on August 14th, 80.25.3.93 starts again. The new users, together with the ips 80.102.220.xxx and 80.102.248.xxx start the battle again. I ask to administrators to block the page for newbies, and they recomend me to report in to WP:SSP (here). I think it's quite hard to accuse someone of sock puppeting and I preffer still not to do it. Then, comes an "old registerd newbie" vandalizing again.

There is some sockpuppeting, but it's difficult/not possible to identify the sock puppet master. Perhaps has never contributed directly with this article. Some users (administrators will decide after reading my evidences) should be brought to Checkusers and, if it is the case, be blocked.--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 18:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
