On some other articles however, they changed the snow coloring from the original blue to green - saying things like "slight adjust" and "match" in their edit summaries. As many other editors recognize this problem, all the changes the IP made were reverted, even leading to a temporary block. However, this user evaded their block by IP-hopping on completely new IP addresses, effectively making any range block useless. Some methods this user has made to obtain new IPs have been using devices in public places (such as

of green for the parameter has been used for nearly a decade, being commonly agreed that green as the parameter color creates a visual contrast between the blue cold temperatures above the row and the blue snow coloring below. The problem is that once the precipitation parameter is set to blue, than every single line between the cold temperatures and precipitation days (and sometimes humidity) becomes the same color, and creates this unsightly wall of solid blue โ as seen here

for someone whose edits are, to a layman, indistinguishable from those of the people who revert him. So long as we are blocking for sockpuppetry only, rather than the content of one's edits, I have no reason to oppose this project, but I think the problem is minor and the IP editor will soon find

Okay I'll say it ... Since we are blocking the IP's after discovering their edits, should a registered user who makes the same edits also be blocked? Is this about the content of the edits, or the person behind them? This is a binary content dispute in which all edits are either in favor of one
