As soon as Knisfo stopped his edit-warring removing cited information on Northern Cyprus, in mid-December last year, dynamic SPA IPs started appearing providing edit-warring support for the master. It went quiet for a few weeks but now it suddenly erupted again just in time for the New Year. 
Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 10:50, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Evidence
- Master removing the word "only" first time with edit-summary: ("only" is not neutral) and then second time with edit-summary: (well, ok, forget about the UN - but "only" is NOT neutral).
- IP 46.115.15.229 with edit-summary starting with: ("only" is not neutral, i said !...) - just like master.
- IP 46.114.139.160 editing LGBT rights in the Faroe Islands mentioning "Faroe Islands" in edit-summary - master editing LGBT rights in Finland mentioning "Faroes" in edit-summary.
- All SPA IPs doing exactly the same and removing the 8 RS supporting the term "only". Please see their single or two-edit contributions.

[edit]
Clerk note: I agree that the IPs are the master account not logged in, not just based on the content affected but also on the very similar edit summaries (use of question marks, exclamation points, etc.). I've blocked the master for one month, although the master hasn't edited since December 29. As for the IPs, it's largely a waste of time to block them unless the disruption becomes more pervasive, e.g., other articles. I've therefore semi-protected Northern Cyprus for two weeks.
