these occurred in spurts, systematically between 2007 and 2011 if i recall. Once it was pointed out on the talk page for the article that these IP's had been traced to sembler.com, the blankings ceased and shortly thereafter, GabrielF appears doing similar blanking of ALL negative content in the article with this edit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mel_Sembler&diff=485842728&oldid=485840722

The similar type of blanking and the timing of it lead me to believe these are the same person. I called him out on his first mass blanking edit at the time on his talk page, and he referred me to Wikipedia:Assume good faith. In retrospect i should not have let it drop then, as now he has gotten more conservative in his blanking and is claiming BLP issues for a certain piece he wants blanked rather than doing carte blanche blank of all negative content. What I suspect is he is connected to the previous edits. Can someone check his IP history to see if he has posted anything from the 208.69.24.0/24 block? Given the range it will be a bit of work, but given the timing and similar blanking activity, I am rather certain he is working for sembler to edit the page, and most likely has done so at least once from that block.
