Microchip (comics): After I removed two paragraphs of uncited POV at 03:18, 19 September 2006, describing that rationale in the edit summary, they were reverted by User:65.143.104.102 the next day — this IP's only day on Wikipedia, per Special:Contributions/65.143.104.102.
I again removed the POV paragraphs, and left a note at User:65.143.104.102 asking that he not revert this again since the paragraphs "violate the Wikipedia policies regarding original research and neutral point-of-view". Today, the exact same two paragraphs reappeared, inserted this time by User:65.142.204.13 — who similarly has never been on Wikipedia before today.
I'm not sure if anything can be done with evidently the same person using different computers, but this seemed the logical place to report someone apparently using multiple identities. Thanks. -- Tenebrae 20:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC) reply
It's almost definitely the same person using a dynamic IP via Qwest as an internet provider, apparently based in Kansas City, or near Columbus OH, depending on who you ask. It was probably the same computer. They weren't logged in to Wikipedia, and their IP address changed, either because it was a dial-up account or their ISP rotated their address. See the IP Address article for a more detailed explanation of this. These types of users are also referred to by Wikipedians as "anonymous users", or "anon's".
