He even keeps a mirror of the RotF article in his user page, which he is seemingly using as a temporary target for his edits. When question about doing it he just said "he felt like it". Also, he's suspected of being a sock puppet of user ], with similar behaviour patterns in edited articles, info added, and mindless responses. --] (]) 22:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

**** But -- there have been multiple warnings, and multiple vandalizing edits since most recent warnings, including vandal edits (again) to a bio of a living person which I understood calls for special sensitivity. The IP has made three (at least) vandal edits since it was last blocked. A large percentage of its edits have been vandal edits. None of its edits has ever had a citation, so I don't even know if its other edits are valid. Doesn't that deserve another block?--] (]) 22:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
***** {{AIV|np}} Regardless, the IP's last vandalism edit was made ''19 hours'' '''before''' it had even been issued the you just gave it. — ] (]) 22:42, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
******Understood, but my understanding from ] is that "Users who vandalize Misplaced Pages repeatedly, despite warnings to stop, should be reported ... and administrators may block them" The guideline ''does not'' mandate the level of warning. In fact, it says "Note that warnings are not always required; accounts whose main ... use is obvious vandalism ... may be blocked without warning." This user was warned twice, blocked once, and has now made three more vandal edits that are obviously vandal edits. I had thought that would warrant another block. Let's do it not to punish, but to prevent further edits of that nature, especially given that the edits often are to the bio of a living person.--] (]) 22:49, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

    Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here. Shortcut

    Before reporting, read the spam and vandalism pages, as well as the AIV guide. To submit, edit this page and follow the instructions at the top of the "User-reported" section. For other issues, file a request for administrator attention.

    Important!
    1. The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
    2. Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
    3. The warning(s) must have been given recently and there must be reasonable grounds to believe the user(s) will further disrupt the site in the immediate future.
    4. If you decide that a report should be filed place the following template at the bottom of the User-reported section:
      • * {{Vandal|Example user or IP}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~
    5. Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
    6. Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations unless the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing.
    This noticeboard can grow and become backlogged. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.
