There is a pattern on the users vandalizing some Barcelona-related pages (Barcelona, TV3 (Catalonia), ESADE, ...) in which they only add non sourced crap just to degradate the articles. I already explained it in Suspected sock puppets/NORDKAPP but the solution was not exhaustive. It seems this user is changing regulary his identity. Look: (almost) all users have nothig nothing neither in User Page not in talk page. Some of their user names are ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS, some other follow a pattern of 3 words (as the ones blocked in the last request). Nothing to say about "Returnofthevogons"... All of them have very few contributions and they are all to make this vandalizing. This time I ask to go to the root of the problem and try to find who is the master, protect the pages, block all the range of ip's... I don't know, but if you see the history of this pages, you can see this annoying regular "contributions" from a recent created account, and this is exhausting for the regular users. By the way, some of them have been already blocked for different reasons. Let's notice that when they have been blocked, they haven't even answered, argued or protest. Of course, it is not a problem: just have to create a new account...

Please, I hope this time the problem is studied a bit deeply. Thank you in advance.--Xtv - (my talk) - (que dius que què?) 01:02, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * I'll block some of these as vandal only accounts, but when throwaway accounts are vandalizing a handful of articles, the best thing to do is ask for page protection. --Akhilleus (talk) 20:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
