Shortly after the founding of Wikipedia, disruptive editors, known as Vandals, started to take advantage of Wikipedia's "anyone can edit" policy and wiki format. King Wales I of Wikipedia sent an army of Admins armed with CUs to block the Vandals. The Vandals became more and more cunning, using sock puppets and meat puppets to outflank the Wikipedians. Wikipedians began quarreling amongst themselves in edit-wars, dividing the kingdom. There were peacemakers, like Oshwah, who advocated for WikiPeace, and were largely successful, with help from the new 3-Revert Rule, known as WP:3RR.

Unfortunately, the IPs were quite divided.
