75.22.35.125 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • trace • RBLs • http • block user • block log) - On [[1]] (diff);. Nothing but vandalism from that IP, and the vandalism is of a more dangerous type: changing dates, single words etc, which can easily go unnoticed.. X-Man (talk) 08:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Not blatant vandalism - No warnings given, except one cursory one, and only two edits ever made. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 08:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

72.197.64.32 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • trace • RBLs • http • block user • block log) - actions evidently indicate a vandalism only account. Please look at all vandal edits from this user and its Talk Page. Please block it now. Thank you.Angelo De La Paz (talk) 09:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
