IP diff, IP diff and IP diff (there may be more IPs, the edit warring is long-term) are typically similar to Russian.science (or diff, etc.). The IP edits (either way) got a semi protection on the page (hoping that that would result in discussion). Russian.science (who is autoconfirmed) continued, and ran into a block.

The next day, during the block, user Europe2000 starts on the talkpage, just after creation, with this comment, which shows knowledge of the past of the article, and pushes again the same point. Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 11:17, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
