People who edit Wikipedia pages need a life

This morning it was brought to my attention that some people have been making changes to Bubba the Love Sponge's Wikipedia page. These changes are being done to embarass Bubba and possibly spread false information about him. Most recently, the changes were to his name, and were juvenile at best.

The IP addresses belonging to the current culprits are 75.51.145.163 and 71.196.65.122. The first IP is registered to San Jose, CA (AT&T) and the second IP is from Hialeah, FL (Comcast Cable).

A Google search on the first IP address shows a connection to edits being made to Jason Ellis' Wikipedia page. On March 10, 2010 this person corrected negative entries made on Ellis' page by "Gaeagzeeg" from the previous day. Ironically, when the person from the first IP address corrected the changes, he/she documented the reason as "Removing vandalism by Bubba The Love Sponge fans". Since that time the page keeps being changed by "Gaeagzeeg" and "Glakeicaoe" to show the negative remarks about Jason Ellis. These changes are to his nickname, fighting style, win/loss statistics, Sirius/XM Radio show information and MMA fight history.

I have not located any additional information about the second IP address.

Hopefully whoever "Gaeagzeeg" and "Glakeicaoe" are will stop this silly game. If you continue to screw with Jason Ellis, it is inevitable that his fans will do the same with Bubba. This accomplishes nothing!!
