Sockpuppet edits since 2014: "Vigilante execution"

There has been a persistent and prolonged effort to introduce variations on "vigilante torture, beatings and vigilante executions" into the penalty parameters of the article's infobox and summary table; unsourced changes to the maximum penalty are also made. In common with many other LGBT rights in [Country] articles, sockpuppets of the blocked user Jacobkennedy (SPI page) and associated IP users have placed unsourced, poorly sourced, and WP:SYNTH material:

2014: IP 64.121.83.151 changed penalties to include "up to death"
2020: IP 194.247.60.2 added "or vigilante torture, beatings and death" to infobox; and "Penalty: Up to life imprisonment" to table
2021: IP 64.121.83.151 re-inserted "or vigilante torture, beatings and death" to the summary table, which had been removed −from the table only− in December 2020, maintaining the edit made in 2020
2022: Lmharding once again adds "vigilante torture, beatings and vigilante executions" to table. (Had been removed from table −but never deleted from infobox− immediatley after previous, 2021, insertion.)

Recording this here for a couple of reasons:

User likely to be back to add similar material: they have been making such edits for years. On this article it's relatively few, on others there are a huge number
On some of these low-traffic pages particularly, it seems that such unsourced changes are less likely to be caught and are sometimes only partially reverted. The quality of the article slowly degrades over time

My hope is that this post will assist with noting and handling any future similar changes. AukusRuckus (talk) 11:24, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
