[edit] Thanks
Thanks for fighting that vandal. 64.149.158.94 (talk • contribs • count • block log) really seems to like me... In particular, he previously edited under 64.13.35.113 (talk • contribs • count • block log) and was blocked for up to a month, also for vandalizing my userpage. Just FYI. He first vandalized my userpage because he made crystal-ball-ish edits to GT Athletics-related pages (i.e., Chan Gailey) that I promptly reverted. He turned out to be wrong, too. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 18:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the vandalism revert on my user page. ;) Cheers. Robotman1974 16:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NBA on NBC
Sorry, but that wasn't vandalism. That was fixing the context and removing a deleted link. 71.99.83.251 17:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Seven Wonders of the World and sock puppets
As the most recent admin to edit the Seven Wonders of the World article, I was hoping you could give me some guidance on a situation I just unearthed. While going through my watchlist this morning, I noticed an apparent pattern of unusually rapid and very focused edits by a small set of users to several articles, especially Seven Wonders of the World. The editors are as follows:
- 87.17.210.177 (talk · contribs · count · email)
- Alexlot (talk · contribs · count · email)
- Camelot31 (talk · contribs · count · email)
- Alanmk (talk · contribs · count · email)
After reviewing their contributions, all appear to be single purpose accounts and/or sock puppets with a modus operandi of removing [1] [2] [3] [4] and/or replacing legitimate links [5] with links to the http://www.alinti.it website [6] [7] [8] [9].
While the user(s) in question seem to have violated the wikipedia guidelines on link spam and good faith, at first blush this issue appears to be significantly less disruptive and malicious than our standard, run-of-the-mill sock puppets. I went ahead and reverted the most egregious edits where existing links were replaced (Seven Wonders of the World and New Seven Wonders of the World), however I did not revert any of their changes to other articles. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do, or should I just report this possible sock puppet issue to WP:ANI and let the admin community handle it? Thanks, --Kralizec!

You must be mistaken in terms of the message you posted on my talk page. I only corrected a grammatical error. 69.177.6.232 22:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
