Bumping because the other ATT questions/comments have been a pretty light amount today.

Re-bumping. I'm not super gung-ho about these issues but I think they should be addressed.

Alright, I won't push it then. What should I do with the edits, though?

On the "Is this an example?" forum I had asked
about a user named CorvusIX
making an edit on the Total Drama Unintentionally Unsympathetic page that seemed to contradict the edit reason they provided for removing it in the first place. I had remembered seeing a post specifically by them on ATT about restoring an edit that had tons of elaboration so it didn't really seem that unusual. However when I searched their name the post didn't show up, and apparently, in addition to getting suspended due to these circumstances
, there have been at least two other cases
of edit warring
that CorvusIX had started dating back to two years ago. It had apparently gotten bad enough that in the first cited instance of this happening someone suggested that they were going out of their way to do this, which in and of itself implies this wasn't an isolated incident even before then. On top of that some of their non-warring edits go beyond Weasel Words and seem
to rely heavily on assumptions
that can be traced
to Fan Myopia. Since instances of both edit warring and the Weasel Words/Fan Myopia + wonks + misinformation seem really sporadic (I haven't found instances of any of that concoction the second page of their edit history) it really seems like they're doing this to try and make biased edits undetected, but I can't say I'm 100% sure since (as I mentioned) I can't always go by anything more than a couple implications. Thoughts?
