There is a very persisant vandal afoot that is jumping accounts and reverting articles to older versions at an alarming rate. I can barely keep up by using the rollback feature.
PLEASE somebody with godlike developer powers block this fuck. I've been at this full time for over an hour -- There are many other things I would rather be doing on Wikipedia.
A very frustrated mav
I think it is way past time that admins can view users' IPs. This is ridiculous!
This VANDAL started with user:Annetit and has already created about a dozen other accounts just to stay a step ahead of me rollbacking his edits (since for each new user name on RC I have to review the edits before determining they are vandalism or not -- which is damn difficult because the VANDAL is often reverting to slightly older versions!)
This is user bolero now. It's very alarming !

I agree. Sysops need emergency powers to ban signed in users in cases of obvious vandalism.

He goes so fast and makes changes at random. I wonder if it is not a bot.
