History
IP editor from the Detroit area who has engaged in a long-standing campaign of focused tendentious editing to establish their point of view in articles. The user originally used an IP linked to the Kalamazoo Public Library, which was blocked due to an unrelated user's vandalism. This user then began editing using a frequently-changing mobile IP based in the Detroit area, and occasionally continues editing while travelling across the country.
In early 2014, a number of uninvolved administrators opened a dialogue with the user to resolve the longstanding tendentious editing issues, and encourage the user to create an account. The user participated in the discussion but was ultimately uninterested in creating an account, and insisted that their edits were to defend Wikipedia against outside corrupt influences, and that they intended to continue doing so.
