Locked article with vandalized text

You locked the following article that includes vandalized text and so cannot be fixed easily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SafeMoon

The vandalized text is malicious on purpose and should not be included — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.251.175.37 (talk) 12:27, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 84.251.175.37, thank you very much for the notification. I think the text was added with the genuine intent of increasing the coverage of the encyclopedia, and it is thus not vandalism – but keeping the broken half-reverted sentence in the article wasn't a good choice either, sorry. I have no opinion about the topic and would prefer to keep my edits in the area as neutral as anyhow possible. The broken sentence is gone now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:28, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dylwright111 again

Hello again. On May 20 you indef blocked User:Dylwright111 for persistently adding disruptive content to List of severe weather phenomena and Natural hazards, with lack of communication. This user has apparently returned as a couple of IPs, with 84.66.184.104 and 85.255.236.245 making the same low-quality edits. I, Chompy Ace and even ClueBot have been reverting these edits but the editor has been continuing to make the edits nearly every day. They've also disrupted the talk page with inappropriate content. Do you think these IPs should be blocked per WP:EVASION, or should I go to WP:RFPP to protect the article(s), since the user has used more than one IP, and others might be used in the future? Thanks, CodeTalker (talk) 15:59, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey CodeTalker, thank you very much for the notification! To answer your question, hm, in this specific case, a combination of blocks and protections might help. Three months will hopefully be sufficient to discourage them from continuing to do this.

Would you be interested in trying Huggle? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:51, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for handling this! I took a look at Huggle and it seems like it would be useful, although it appears that I would need rollback rights to use it. Are you proposing to grant rollback to me? That would be fine with me. CodeTalker (talk) 00:56, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
