User description

We have an editor or a group of editors persistently editing articles related to Taiwanese technology, especially rocketry and spaceflight, always trying to make Taiwan look better. The edits are often highly recognizable, and the same edit is done several times (getting reverted each time) over a timescale of days to months. The IP changes frequently. Common elements of the edits:

  • Writing claims with references, but the given references do not discuss the claims at all. This is an extremely frequent pattern.
  • Misleading links, giving the impression would have articles like Taiwanese manned spaceflight program or Taiwanese astronauts where the actual link goes to some other article (e.g. to "Taiwan" or "astronaut")
  • NPOV violations like "a cutting edge advanced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) autonomous lunar lander". Example for all three points
  • Making politically loaded statements, and keeping wrong statements (from 2005) in the article.
  • Adding tons of links from and to the articles in "see also", probably to promote visibility of the articles. Example
  • Namedropping. Example
  • Repeated edits on page seem to rely on older versions instead of using the revert function, an example is this diff which brought back unrelated earlier vandalism.
  • There have been two cases where they have been engaged in discussion on a Talk page, here and here.
  • Addresses from this VPN are used to evade IP blocks and detection. Multiple IPs can be active at the same time affecting multiple pages.

Admin note

IPs should be considered as block evading and blocked accordingly. NeilN talk to me 20:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Y It appears there was a vandal cop with multiple IPs. I'm pretty sure they are OK because they also reverted vandalism on other articles, and appear to have an intimate knowledge of WP regarding POV and RS. L3X1
