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.
