They're all publicly viewable edits aren't they? Revert them and ban the IP ranges they come from? I thought that was the standard practice for abuse of Wikipedia?

Thing is the vast majority of people using wiki won't think. They will just consume so the message gets through.

Can confirm. I use wiki and don't know how to think.
