I am not sure whether this constitutes vandalism, sockpuppetry, a WP:RFPP matter or an edit war at this point, so I am asking an admin to take a look. Along with another editor (and ClueBOT), I reverted some persistent editing to the article as vandalism. This initially resulted in the IP user being blocked. A glance at the history page for the article tells a pretty clear story of what is going on. The user initially began making significant, disruptive changes to the article (WP:POV issues, removing sources, some edits that look like pure vandalism) and has continued to do so. You can see the initial discussion between myself, another editor and the individual as 96.228.52.184 on that IP's talk page, as well as the block notification. There is some further discussion on my talk page. The same individual has returned as the 72.84.207.76 IP and continued to make persistent changes to the article. Here are diffs for some of the edits I am talking about: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and so on. To me, it borders on pure vandalism, but in the interest of WP:AGF and understanding that this individual feels passionately about it, I thought I would bring it here. Thanks for your time. I'll put a note on the 72.84.207.76 IP's talk page immediately after this. Into The Fray T/C 04:54, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- See also User:Breanna4567 - clearly the same person. Note this post at Talk:Main Page [9] "What happened to the article "meat"??" AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:58, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- And now Breanna4567 has blanked this thread.... AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:02, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Update: So Breanna4567 has been indef blocked. IP 96.228.52.184 was recently blocked by by Kudpung, but that block has already expired. IP 72.84.207.76 was temporarily blocked back in April 26, but not since then... I'm wondering if maybe an WP:SPI report might be the way to go here? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- I can certainly do that if needed. It was my initial inclination but as far as sock puppetry goes, it's not the most egregious of cases and perhaps I am being trolled, but at least as far as some of the more recent edits to Meat went, it did appear that there might have been some . . . however misguided . . . intent to add sourced content to the article. Hence bringing it here. If WP:SPI is the way to go, I'll put it there. Into The Fray T/C 02:13, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
