- Monitoring History
Since late 2011 or early 2012, several unknown IPs (mostly coming from Israel) were vandalizing several The Biggest Loser articles. I have monitored, warned, and reported them; requested for page protection for the pages they vandalized; and reverted their vandalism since 2012. I even created these tables below to help those people who can help solve this vandalism issue. One table is for the articles, which show there vandalism status, and history of protection. The other table is for consolidating all the IPs who have vandalized these articles, adding their vandalism, received warning reports, and block histories.
These IPs are vandalism hoppers. They kept vandalizing unprotected articles. Once a page is protected, they move to the next unprotected one. Sometimes, they vandalize multiple articles at once. Also I always keep giving them warnings, but once they have received a vandalism warning they will use another IP to vandalize. This is the reason why only few IPs are blocked.
I have tried to raise this vandalism issue up to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents once but no one bothered to answer or help.
