 * Might want to semi-protect this article for a week or a few days. Onion 18:31, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Wellll. I might do. The same thing was happening on this talk page. I'm just curious to see what on earth this person (or bot) is up to.  It's a lot more difficult for him to make the edit and input the captcha than it is for me (or perhaps "us") to reverse it.  But, yes, if it keeps going that's what I'll do.--Bob M (talk) 18:49, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Semi protected. Note that probably it's not just one person or bot: the IP's are very different. Ghoti (talk) 23:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * IP differences do not really mean that much. I get a different IP each time I log on. But apart from that spammers regularly uses hosts of IP's and then there is TOR.
 * If it is a group of people what on Earth would they gain by making a single odd edit to this page? Equally though what is the advantage to anybody? But I'm relaxed about protecting it. Let's see if the target shifts, which is likely if it's an individual or group, or if it stops which would be more suggestive of an automated process.--Bob M (talk) 06:57, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Just a note: your IP changes, but it always begins with the same number (83 or 85, I think). These IPs have the first number different. Anyway, you convinced me and I also agree with the rest of your analysis. Ghoti (talk) 14:20, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Bob, the target shifted, as you predicted. They now are inserting text in User:Ghoti/Vowel table (British Council). I created this page several months ago, but on 17 April I moved it to User:Ghoti/Vowel table/British Council. They probably have the old name stored somewhere. Ghoti (talk) 14:10, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
