And other dynamic IPS.

• Code letter: C, D
• Supporting evidence:

User:QualityBadge was blocked as a suspected sock of User:Ecrone after Ecrone submitted Depersonalization disorder (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to FAC, and QualityBadge immediately Supported.

After several more IP submissions to FAC, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Depersonalization disorder was semi-protected, but a dynamic IP persisted for several days in removing tags from the article.

Once the article was semi-protected, User:Ecrone continued where the IP left off, removing the tags.[1]

 Confirmed that QualityBadge is Ecrone. The IPs are also clearly the same user. Obviously the IPs are on a very dynamic range, so they can't be blocked. Sam Korn ^(smoddy) 15:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See also discussion at User_talk:Lar#Depersonalization_disorder and at Ecrone's talk page. I ran a check some time ago on a private request, found the same things Sam is reporting now, (so I concur with his findings) and blocked for 24h. The unblock request was declined, and Ecrone sat the block out. I think a block on behaviour is warranted if this continues. The IPs can't be hardblocked. Perhaps allowing only editing from accounts might be an approach. Alternatively perhaps disqualifying Depersonalization Disorder for consideration for FA until some editor other than Ecrone does significant work? OR disqualifying Ecrone from further nominations at FA based on disruptive behaviour, even after any further blocks expire? ++Lar: t/c 16:45, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
