Explanation of reverts

Hi CWenger. This is just to explain my revert on Sara Bareilles which you undid. I was blanket reverting all edits made by a sockpuppet IP of globally banned editor Belteshazzar, in line with WP:LTA/BTSZ. Belteshazzar is an extremely prolific sockpuppeteer who very rapidly makes a mixture of innocuous edits and edits pushing weird personal POVs. It isn't really tenable to check every single one when he has multiple sockpuppets doing this almost every week. His ban means that he should not be editing at all, even if not all of his edits are bad. The innocuous edits are mostly done to try to cover his tracks but it is absolutely fine for you, or anybody else who is not banned, to reinstate any of those edits that are actually improvements. Unfortunately, doing this can attract his attention. Please be aware that he might misinterpret your edit summary as supportive of his ongoing sockpuppetry and might try to canvas you hoping for help. He has tried to canvas other editors on several occasions. If you get any weird IPs asking for help, complaining that they have been reverted but carefully avoiding saying why, then that might be him. Please be extremely cautious of any such messages.
