Basic information[edit]

Comprehensive edits analysis

Philm540 is an account that has been extremely disruptive in articles about military aircraft. In May 2015 he began to edit by way of IPv4 addresses from Pennsylvania, and then started using IPv6 addresses. His major mode of disruption is that he continually adds unreferenced information to articles. He is also insulting in his communications to others. He considers himself a respected "world-wide" topic expert,[1] free to make pronouncements without citation, and he rejects contradictory facts found in reliable sources. He stated his real life identity here along with the Philm540 handle. On July 1, 2015, he delivered a legal threat to a user.[2]

His interests include the air forces of the United States, various military aircraft especially American ones from World War II, and American air units such as bombardment groups and wings.

Remediation[edit]

Some two dozen of the IPv6 addresses were blocked in June 2015. Philm540 was discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Legal threat against Nigel Ish by block-evading IP on July 1–2, 2015. As a result, a rangeblock was set in place for 2600:1002:B000::/39, blocked for one month. As well, a rangeblock was set for one month against 70.192.141.0/24.
