If you're referring to the junk edits to Sukarno, Suharto, Adolf Hitler, 
etc; those came from various IPs, mostly from what looks like a school 
or library in Ohio (probably public machines or a cache/proxy); banning 
wouldn't help much.

Suharto - 156.63.200.159
Sukarno - 156.63.200.159, 156.63.205.5
Image talk:Hitler.jpg - 156.63.205.5
Talk:Hafez al-Assad - 198.234.102.59
Hitler: The Last Ten Days - 156.63.205.5

156.63.205.5 and 198.234.102.59 also each vandalised Adolf Hitler once; 
both were quickly reverted.

You'll notice that after cleaning the first batch, I added the IP in the 
deletion notice for "Hitler: The Last Ten Days". You'll also notice no 
further activity from these IPs, though no ban is in place.
