User:Psychonaut/User watchlist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Author's note: This page is one of some 50 or more other "user watchlists" created by various Wikipedians to collect information on editors whom the community believes have violated Wikipedia policies. The information collected is restricted to that already available on Wikipedia (Arbitration Committee decisions, etc.) and from external resources. Its purpose is to help concerned editors identify the source of new policy violations (by comparing them to the existing ones listed here) and to take the appropriate action (various levels of user warnings, arbitration, blocking, etc.).

Though the users listed on this page may have violated policies or acted in bad faith in the past, it is not presumed that any of them intend to violate policies or act in bad faith in the future. Certainly, the information here would be of use in the event that these users reoffend, but no belief that they will indeed reoffend is expressed or implied. In fact, the information may be useful even in cases where the users never reoffend, as the record of actions taken against these users is instructive for dealing with similar cases by other policy violators.

[edit] JarlaxleArtemis (Jeremy Hanson)

JarlaxleArtemis (talke-mailcontribspage movesblock userblock log) is a persistently uncooperative editor and vandal. He has a long history of disruptive activity which has resulted in several short-term blocks, two Requests for Arbitration, and two community bans. Since his latest community ban, he has been harassing editors and administrators by posting personal attacks and personal information with throwaway sockpuppet accounts, and by abusing the password request feature to perform network flooding. He may also be using sockpuppets or anonymous IPs to continue his pre-banning behaviour, the most serious of which were wanton copyright infringement and mass creation of unhelpful or incorrect redirects.

[edit] Arthur T. Murray

Arthur T. Murray (a.k.a. Mentifex), widely regarded on Usenet and elsewhere as a net.kook,[1][2] has been known to post articles and changes contrary to Wikipedia's policies. Murray has posted self-promotional articles and references to the following Wikipedia pages. (Unfortunately, discussions for deleted articles are not available as they were not being archived at the time. However, Murray's additions to the extant articles can be viewed in their respective page histories.)

Murray has over twenty years' history spamming Usenet with his self-promotional materials. He has access to a number of ISP accounts, most of them seemingly in the Seattle or Vancouver areas (see this page's history for logs). As of 2006, he appears to be inactive on Wikipedia.

A thorough account of Murray's spamming history and an examination of his "Mentifex" theory can be found in the Mentifex FAQ.

[edit] Anthony M. Benis

Anthony M. Benis appears to have used Wikipedia to promote his psychological/genetic "NPA personality theory". Many Wikipedians consider this theory to be "pseudoscientific" or "kooky".[3][4] Though the articles on Benis and NPA were deleted on 2 November 2006, some users are campaigning to keep the information on Wikipedia by "recategorizing" it, copying it into userspace, and proposing that it be inserted into other articles.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
