"Looks like that article needs to be reverted and semi-protected for a short period.  Let me know.  —   
 ::::It's been worked over thoroughly. I'm debating whether to warn any of the vandals or toss it off as a lost cause. I am cleaning up the article, however. 

 ::::It's so embarrassing for Wikipedia to see articles stay like that for multiple hours or days. It belies the confidence that so many have in recent changes patrols and anti-vandalism bots. You'll see some of them diligently, conscientiously were working to revert vandalism, only they just reverted back to earlier versions of junk.   

 :::Okay, I see your revert and I've sprotected.  That was impressive.  You should head right over to WP:RFPP when stuff like that breaks out.  —   

 ::::Thank you for protecting it. I have had about as much luck with RFPP in the past as with AIV.   

 :::::If you step through the history, it appears to have been a coordinated attack on two, non-notable real people, one named Phillips (linked to the Satan article) and one named Bonney (linked to the Wanker article).   
 ::::::I honestly didn't look that close.  I just knew it was a bunch of people acting like idiots.  When there's one person acting like an idiot, you block them - when it's multiple, protection is the way to go.  (Probably short term in this case since it's hard to believe this is a common vandalism target - very odd). —   
 :::::::I debated whether or not to use the Defwarn template but settled for relatively mild vandalism warnings. I'm not an admin, so I was concerned I might get in trouble myself for perhaps crossing Wikipedia:No legal threats.   

 :With IPs you never know if they are shared or dynamically allocated. Last warnings that are more than a few days old are usually considered to have expired, unless it's evident from the edits that there is a pattern. Thus, block requests will likely fail in cases like this. There's not much we can do about these IPs if we want to remain an open wiki. 

 :This address is registered to Truro College, Truro, England. I've tagged it as educational IP, it might belong to a classroom computer or even a school proxy. This means that 1. the IP won't be blocked long-term unless in extreme cases. But also 2. that instead of requiring the full series of warnings and then giving a long block, the focus should shift to more immediate but shorter slap-on-the-wrist type blocks. 

 :Make sure these kiddy IPs got one recent (at least the same day) serious warning. If they continue (the more rapid the better in this case), request a short school block and you should find that admins may be more responsive. But be quick, anything beyond 3 hours drifts into why-bother-that-kid-is-gone land. For the really annoying IPs you can also try WP:ABUSE to get someone contact the school.   

 == ...? == 

 So, are you actually taking a break, or just harassing other users?   

 :Hello again. Please see  , , .   

 Hmm, did you see what just happened with some of the IPs that attacked us yesterday?  They were blocked as open proxies.  Quite interesting,   

 ::Metros, thank you for your resilience, patience and vigilance!  

 ::I finally concluded that, other than referring this person back to the links I posted above, I was not going to respond to him  it only seemed to feed something unhealthy within him. It seemed better for Wikipedia that I just lay low. Then I noticed that, in the presence of this new silence, he escalated his behavior  he almost seemed to crave a block by the time he got one. Very strange  likely a person with a lot of unhappiness in his life going way beyond Wikipedia.
