The latest case being the BBC, it would be well above AC level ;-)
I knew that we were talking about the Beeb as I wrote my original. If we had proof that the BBC was deliberately and as a matter of corporate strategy introducing falsehoods into Wikipedia (and fiction presented as fact is falsehood), then I would be eager to block them and shout it from the rooftops.
We don't put up with vandalism. We should put up with corporate-planned and -sponsored vandalism even less.
But unlike some, I'll wait for proof before going to war. ;->
I'd assume that a body corporate like the BBC would have its own range of IP adddresses. If they will hold us to ransom, we could quite easily block their entire IP range from editing, consequences be damned; better yet, encourage people (read: slashdot users) to DDoS BBC until they cease and desist.
Remember, it's our site, we make the rules.
