The FA article, Music of Nigeria, is getting hit with a pretty vicious bot
attack -- name-change bot, a new one appears every time the old one's
reverted.  It's become necessary to semiprotect this article, as well as the
Costa Rica elections article that's also linked off the mainpage.  Each time
the semiprotection's lifted, the attacks start back up again within
minutes.  Hoping somebody around who has checkuser can look into it and see
about foiling the originating IP ...

Thanks.
