Husregarv started edit warring an certain articles (listed below in comments), until myself and User:Olliegrind started questioning his reasons. He then stopped and immediately afterwards the IP started carrying on doing exactly the same thing. The IP was banned for violating 3RR, and after that Drtuttle did the same thing, although that account tried poorly to convince myself and Ollie to go with his idea, even though Ollie and I had provided multiple sources to support our idea about the genre, and his sole argument was essentially 'We all disagree, so we have to go with my (Drtuttles) idea until I say otherwise.' After the IPs ban was finished, Drtuttle suddenly went inactive, and the IP resumed warring on the articles. The Kinslayer 15:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, suspicion on the Drtuttle account came about when he joined in The Sword discussion on around the 8th claiming to be new, yet his edit history showed he had edited The Sword on December the 22nd. The Kinslayer 23:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

The IP address has now returned from his ban and has resumed vandalising all references to The Sword again. Same M.O. as last time. Any chance of an admin actually doing something about it this time? The Kinslayer 11:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments

The user has been behind a systematic campaign against any articles referring to the band The Sword. The user removes all reference to The Sword being a Doom Metal band from the following articles: List of doom metal bands, Heavy metal music, 2006 in metal and consistently blanks all information on Age of Winters apart from the track listing. Myself and another editor have repeatedly asked for reasoning and provided evidence to support our arguements, but we are being stonewalled. The Kinslayer 15:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

These users (specifically 66.90.137.157‎) have made many edits to pages that reference The Sword but make no mention of their genre, like Intonation Music Festival and Music of Austin. He has also completely removed The Sword link from The Sword (disambiguation). This is not just about the genre, but about removing all mention of The Sword from any page. Other pages The Sword was removed from include Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Biography (musicians) articles by quality/23 and Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Biography articles by quality/138.

Husgrave has also been behind a really bad-faith AfD nom of The Sword which can be found here. Diez2 17:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
