If you don't mind advice from a multi-wiki admin… Going from just what you say here… after 2-3 gentile warnings, *block* him.

The time is up to you, in a case as you describe *I'd* start with 3 days. I'd provide as a reason "Inserting false information" and further comment "Next infraction will incur a 2 week block." You can adjust the lengths as you see fit, *I* just like to "get their attention" the first couple times so long as they are not truly troublesome or violating ToU.

A lot of Admins like to always add the "cannot edit own Talk Page" restriction. Again, unless extreme, *I* like to leave them that means to communicate for two reasons. First, they may actually have learned their lesson and if they can convince me, I'll shorten or drop the block. Second, if they *abuse* the privilege, doling themselves out more rope to hang themselves with, it gives me reason to lengthen the block *without* having to wait out time periods.

Also, *I* applaud your double checking the facts of the source. So many others often do not.

You've been more than patient with this fellow, do not hesitate to act.
