Someone asked me to send an issue to the list regarding bitey behavior...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pkrev.
Now, mind you, it's evident the user was inserting advertisements into an article, and persisted in reverting the people who reverted him. However, it doesn't look like the issue was sufficiently addressed, nor the situation sufficiently explained. Furthermore, " It has become apparent that your account is being used only for vandalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism, so it has been *blocked indefinitely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy*. " was completely inappropriate response at the end.
In hindsight (and having spoken to the user on the phone) he has a limited command of English. A short duration block while some explaining on the talk page would have been the proper response. It doesn't mean that the user is worth having on Wikipedia--but I do know of several individuals who started out as spammers and turned into good contributors.
