This page is to deal with a problem editor who, since around July of 2005, has created a mess among many articles relating to tv and radio stations through multiple IP's.

These articles have included the following trademarks:

• Improper capitalization
• Reports of every single ratings trend by the station
• Short sentences, including the repeated use of words such as "so".
• Reports of every single ownership change
• No wikification
• Mentions of every single format adjustment (the station leaned rock, etc.)
• Repeated use of insider radio terms and initials
• Long lists of the artists associated with a particular format at a time
• Add content from other Wikipedia articles onto station articles, usually regarding the network that a station airs, and found unwikified at the end
• Add one-liners at the end of station articles about the station, usually found out of place

I have tried to contact this user repeatedly, especially since there are a certain set of IP addresses he uses over and over, but he has not responded, and has continued to make these edits. As a result, I have set up this page for discussion over what he's done and what to do about it.

As of October 2005, his work can be seen on various TV stations in the United States, as well as in most, if not all commercial radio stations located in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago.

Updates

• October 14, 2005: Has added his content to WMVP as 152.163.100.14 (talk · contribs) and WSCR as 152.163.100.13 (talk · contribs). He has used these IP adresses for past edits. ErikNY 16:23, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
• October 16, 2005: He might mean more than just adding info to station pages, as he also likes to copy segments from network Wikipedia articles onto station pages. User 64.12.116.13 (talk · contribs) has done this to tv stations in Houston. This is another IP he has used, since I've tried to contact him on this user's talk page. Check here for an example of this. ErikNY 14:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
