Code letter: C
Supporting evidence: Similar vandalism warnings received about either Nantes or Broken Sword: 3 (deleted) warnings, A further 3 (deleted) warnings, 4 warnings, 1 warning, 1 warning, 2 warnings, 1 warning.

The problem with an anon user first occured back in July at Nantes, which forced an anon block to be placed on the page. On the same day, Firstwind's account was created. In recent weeks, the problem has resurfaced, with both Firstwind and several other anon IPs forcing a further anon block to be placed on Nantes. Further vandalism has occured at Broken Sword by both Firstwind and these same anon IPs. The user has received a total of 15 warnings at this stage.

What do you need a checkuser for, here? If they're vandalising, they can be blocked. Note that one of the IPs is in Canada and the rest in France; it is impossible that Firstwind is both. --Deskana (talk) 14:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the problem is that Firstwind edits both logged in and unlogged (even talking to himself, see this edit summary for example : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Firstwind&oldid=173290963) to pretend he has support for his spam/vandalism edits. When confronted, he denies it and says numerous anonymous users support his "work" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mindmatrix&oldid=173312581#Wikipedia_policies). Quick question too if you've got a minute, how can someone get 15 warnings and never get blocked even for a day? Mthibault (talk) 18:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the IP located in Canada, he/she may have been there at the time, or use an open proxy since edits then made to Nantes are the same as the ones he usually does. Mthibault (talk) 18:22, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
