88.104.20.79 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) With three consecutive edits on 22 August 2014, under the guise of "archiving," Anonymous IP 88.104.20.79 deleted (and did not archive) a total of -10,363 bytes from User talk:143.231.249.138. The edits are (1) -520 bytes, (2) -9,543 bytes and -300 bytes. The targeted page provides the only documentation of an ongoing controversy involving an anonymous serial abuser who has been repeatedly blocked for disruptive editing from the U.S. House of Representatives and recently garnered a significant amount of unfavorable media coverage. By vandalizing that page in such a focused and purposeful manner, Anonymous IP 88.104.20.79 attempted to enforce what amounts to historical revisionism. I shall insert a warning on Anonymous IP 88.104.20.79's talk page, but believe this is rightly something an Admin should deal with. Even assuming good faith and ascribing this to an inexperienced user's failure to archive what he instead deleted, the fact remains that the user made no attempt to discuss this matter beforehand at the targeted talk page, to seek technical assistance in proper archiving techniques, to draw his substantial removal to anyone's attention, or to manually restore the -10,363 bytes he deleted from the original article—which restoration I performed yesterday after detecting the vandalism.
