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.
Dynamic AOL IP, I'm afraid.
Last time we were hit with a random-username creating bot, we blocked all of AOL and said "consequences be damned". Now that we are bigger than AOL, we *must* demand action on their part.
