Italian IP-hopper removing details regarding celebrities' deaths

This has been going on for a long time from several IPs in Italy; I just reverted another of their edits. I reported them to AIV last month but one responding admin requested more details then a second responding admin thought I was requesting a rangeblock. Can anything be done about this? Some of the involved IPs:

151.19.58.228
151.57.143.115
151.35.164.166
151.37.208.134
151.37.140.41
151.47.227.167
151.37.133.229
151.37.130.52
151.57.9.61
151.47.19.185
151.37.230.153
151.57.154.248
151.19.154.35
151.46.183.124
151.43.217.155

Hi Skywatcher68, the large range could be made one of the conditions of an edit filter (WP:EFR). I have blocked the most recently used address for now, but a filter could prevent the edits or allow them to be found more quickly/easily. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:25, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Thanks! Given that this has been going on for over a year, I followed the suggestion regarding LTA edits and sent an email.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Advice on disruptive editor

Hi! I wanted to ask your advice on how to handle 150.195.180.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). For over a year, this editor has been making the same edits to one particular article (List of Rolie Polie Olie episodes). All their edits involved changing the OriginalAirDate parameter in an {{Episode list}} template to add a date for a second country. My reading of the documentation for this template is that this is incorrect; this parameter should have only one date in it, the date of it's actual first airing. Several editors (mostly me but also others) have reverted these edits and I have added quite a few warnings on their talk page, but they have not responded and continue to persistently make these changes every few weeks or so (lately more frequently). I have also explained my reversions in each of my edit summaries but the editor has never used an edit summary.

This is a pretty minor point and I don't think it rises to the level of vandalism, so I don't think it's proper to bring it to AIV or ANI, and they are not breaking 3RR so AN3 isn't appropriate either. Is there a place that would be appropriate to discuss this? Or perhaps I am in the wrong and should just drop this? Thanks for any advice or help that you can offer.

You're correct about such MOS violations, which MOS I'm not sure, not rising to the level of vandalism but an admin such as ToBeFree could place a partial block on the IP to keep them from editing that list of episodes. Misplaced Pages does not list rebroadcasts of episodes or made-for-TV movies and broadcasts of theatrical movies appear to be only in special circumstances, such as The Wizard of Oz   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
