[edit] User:64.252.165.21

This is the latest proxy from the person who continually posts the useless entertainment-related substubs discussed further down the page. The modus operandi is the same each time, but they come in too slowly to be a bot. Once posted, the party never returns to flesh the stubs out, leaving a mess for others to clean up. Nor does he/she respond to any attempts at contact. I'm proposing an exception to the rules that any and all of these substubs be deleted on sight without delay. - Lucky 6.9 00:40, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:192.195.64.72

Has vandalised this page, vfd, user talk, and some others. Have tried blocking him following two warnings, but Special:blockip appears to not be working as he is able to just carry on regardless on the same IP. Ideas, anyone? -- Graham :) | Talk 01:13, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User: Kritik

A "sock puppet" who seemingly came out of nowhere when a "Vote to Delete" was placed on an apparent vanity article about John Hassel. insists on posting a vulgar "performance art" photo showing a naked man, presumably Hassel, in full rear view posing in front of the restaurant's entrance, citing it as "his most famous work." I've tried to edit out the photo, but this individual keeps putting both it and his poorly written, POV description next to it. The same photo is on the vanity page. See also Bunboy. - Lucky 6.9 02:04, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:203.10.121.81

He/She is adding nonsense to articles.

[edit] User:Dmn

Dmn has made nonsense edits to my talk page [2] and to other articles [3], and has lately reverted random edits of mine [4]. If he is not banned, I have no other option but to retaliate in kind and revert random edits of his until he stops. --Wik 18:43, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)

Umm, that doesn't seem like it would be a very useful way to proceed.--Samuel J. Howard 19:26, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
My, my, my. Wik's at it. Dmn does seem to have done some silly things, but Wik's behaviour is hardly exemplary either. I really do hope the arbitration committee find in favour of a permanent hard ban for Wik. David Newton 21:09, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Congratulations David! You've made it onto Wik's elite list of "unsuitable sysops", category "moron". I'm only a "rude" myself... Stan 21:56, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Andrew Zito

Known for vandalizing the Deism page, now blanked entire page (added comment on Talk:Deism, without with profanity), added strong profanity to Wikipedia:Village pump and User talk:Bkonrad

Quote from Village Pump:
DEAR WIKIED-AHOLES DELETE IT ALL CAUSE YOU ARE AHOLES BASTARDS JUST TELL ME HOW ONE CAN OFF ALL THE WIKIS LEGALLY FOR YOU ARE NOT AN ENCYCLOPEDIA AND ARE AN INSULT TO NORMAL INTELECT AS YOUR SHIT DOESN'T STINK EXCEPT YOU ARE FULL OF IT BYE NOW SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS AS YOU HAVE DEVELOPED ANOTHER LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH WHICH YOU CAN REMEMBER WHEN YOU DROP DEAD. By the way for abuse look in the mirror ASSHOLE
End Quote

I reverted Deism twice (so far), and cleaned up the village pump. I did not revert the talk pages Talk:Deism and User talk:Bkonrad.

They've done it before (look, if you're able, at the deleted edits for Matthew Kimbrough), I warned them on one address so they came back and did it on another, and then on the next. -- Graham :) | Talk 01:31, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Has posted what is probably a vanity page at Srila Vishnupada, H.D.G. Ramakrishnananda Swami. I added some factual, although admittedly quite negative information to the page which this user continually reverts and has begun to make threats. Look at the edit summaries for that article. older ≠ wiser 02:13, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 205.188.116.204 and 205.188.116.139

User (from the IPs) 205.188.116.204 and 205.188.116.139 has been repeatedly adding his own family history to April 20, April 18 and sometimes April 16. Since these are AOL addresses (used by at least one legimiate Wikipedian -sorry!) we can't block them, so please just be watchful. He signed himself User:Michael by the way.

[edit] User:157.157.94.119

Has been vandalizing Akureyri persistently. No other edits from this user. ---Biekko 18:53, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:128.253.213.101

This guy (from Cornell according to nslookup) started out by making somewhat amusing and perhaps valid edits to Harvard University, e.g. changing "one of the most prestigious" to "one of the most pretentious", etc.. But now that he's been reverted a few times he's degenerated entirely into really childish vandalism and page blanking. Recommend blocking the IP username while allowing him to establish a real username from this IP, is such is possible. Otherwise recommend simply banning the IP, active immediately.

Should also add, he has attempted to make constructive changes to Cornell University, although only to enhance the existing article's account of Cornell's international academic standing. He also added useful info to the Ken Dryden article. --Chinasaur 11:44, Apr 22, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:YorubaMan, User:66.185.84.80, User:24.101.118.78, 209.151.129.82

YorubaMan (also see 209.151.129.82) has repeatedly fouled up entries related to Nigeria and the Yoruba with irrelevancies, grammatical errors and outright falsehoods - see for instance the entry for Oyo. In his comment on the edits he made to the Nigeria entry, he accused me of "lying" that "the Hausa/fulani are 2/3 population of Nigeria, It is not accurate infomation", a "lie" I clearly never committed. The Hausa/Fulani are indeed the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, going by the records of every census carried out in the country since the 1950s, and to claim that the Yoruba are the most numerous is a blatant falsehood. This person is obviously much less concerned with accuracy either in reading or in writing than he is with fouling Nigeria-related entries up with illiterate propaganda. Abiola Lapite 23:01, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

See YorubaMan's latest contribution at Talk:Nigeria for yet another example of what I'm going on about. Abiola Lapite 12:25, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

...24.101.118.78 seems to either be YorubaMan, or is at least working in concert with him, as he put back the changes to the Nigeria and Yoruba articles that I backed out. In addition, he's now fiddled with the Hausa-Fulani page, inserting the sentence Hausa fulani, are not educated, lazy people, who normal drink everyday, which is clearly vandalism by any measure. Abiola Lapite 10:00, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

...User:66.185.84.80, inserted the changes made by YorubaMan into the article on Nigeria, and graced his summary with extremely insulting references to my person in Yoruba (including calling me a bastard, a thief and a lunatic), along with the accusation that I'm "lying". Are all the administrators on Wikipedia on AWOL or something? Frankly, I'm getting tired of reverting petty vandalism and having nothing to show for my efforts but insulting remarks directed at my person. Abiola Lapite 11:22, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:195.188.152.16

Made a number of edits to musician sites, mainly adding a link to [5] and subpages, and removing some probably valid information from the pages. Now he is vandalizing the page of User:Modemac, who reverted his edits. His contributions:195.188.152.16 -- chris_73 01:38, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:24.69.255.205 and .203

24.69.255.205 has been reprehensibly busy. Please block immediately. Most recently replaced entire Afterlife article with a one-sentence epithet. Tom (hawstom) 17:36, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Dissidentcongress

Has spent about four days editing mentions of the UK Populist Party into entries. Populist party shows no signs of being important in any way. Following his entry for Populist Party (UK) being listed on VFD he created Populist Party (UK, presumably to avoid what is looking like a consensus to delete. Is also abusive troll on VFD, and marks all edits as minor. Snowspinner 22:10, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:129.93.211.55

Has been going around modifying pages to turn US spellings to British spellings, British spellings to US spellings, and some changes which are neither (e.g. imminent to immanent) apparently at random. The fact that this is two-way makes me think zie's a vandal rather than a pedant.

contributions - I haven't looked closely but this stuff seems questionable, and the user name speaks for itself. Isomorphic 01:37, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Bet you a nickel it's the same messer as User:Michael3 and User:Michael33, but there's no way it's the Michael—it can write coherent, legible English, and it's editing articles that have nothing to do with 20th-century popular music. &mdash;69.156.205.32 15:13, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Twice inserted false death figures into Léopold II of Belgium (which could have been a genuine error, at least the first time), replaced "right-wing" with "racist, facist" in Vlaams Blok, and inserted a link to a wares site.

A quote:

What are you, a bunch of dweebs? you are supposed to arbitrarily block me, so I can come back with another user name and another IP number. Looks like the machine is starting to get a bit weary of being constantly ridiculed. Best estimates are for at least another six months of this before a genuine concern for accuracy begins to replace administrative strategies based on ego and identity.

[edit] Paul Beardsell

Talk:Artificial_consciousness I asked him an explanation of his behaviour on his talk page, but he didn't reply. Please someone remind him that other users should not be treated like that, Also he and Matt Stan recently started a parallel article synthetic consciousness It is not a Wikipedia policy to create parallel articles, but this is by far not the first time when they did that. They should delete the parallel article, continue to edit the artificial consciousness and respect the people there. Tkorrovi 16:35, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Tkorrovi has not read what Wikipedia considers to be vandalism. Tkorrovi is also a lying troll. He lies again here: I did not reply? Not only did I reply but I have his reply to that. Paul Beardsell 17:52, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

I notice that Tkorrovi has just added one of his favorite sentences back into the artificial consciousness (AC) article, namely, "It may be interpreted so that AC must be able to predict in all circumstances, but as this is impossible, then we can interpret it so that AC must be able to predict the external events in every possible environment when it is possible to predict for capable human." There has been discussion about how nonsensical this statement is (even when transliterated into good English), and I therefore do not construe it as vandalism to remove/amend/improve such statements as this in attempts to have the article make sense. Indeed it can be construed as vandalism to have added such a sentence to the article. I leave it to other readers to judge. What do you construe from Tkorrovi's sentence (above)? Do you think such a sentence adds to the excellence of wikipedia? The accusation of vandalism against Paul Beardsell can be answered by showing that he is only making attempts in good faith to undo the vandalism that he perceives is being done by Tkorrovi. Matt Stan 12:23, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
I've removed the sentence again. Tkorrovi can find no scholar to support his view. Perhaps intelligibility has something to do with it. Paul Beardsell 14:59, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Sorry if you think that I try to advertise GGSearch on the wikipedia. I think it is not fair to the creator of the tool to not have this software in the Google list. You could add a third party list. I am using his software for two years now and that is why I typed it. The reason why I did it again, and again (four times if I am correct) was because I thought somebody was messing with the text. Now there is no reason to add anything else to the Google wiki because it is already complete. Sorry again for adding GGSearch to the Google wiki. To bad you don't use it yourself. That would open your eyes why I wanted to add it there. Sincerly John Mandel. Harlingen.

I did some tracking of this user. There's a pretty good case that this user is not just Lord Cornholio et al, but also at least twenty different IP addresses. The reason I have these suspicions is based on the fact that the IPs are often used to vandalize the same page: He gives each page 3 to 7 tries, and doesn't realize we're smarter than he is. Perhaps an AOL user? If my suspicions about him and his identities are correct, he's been vandalizing pages throughout the month of March, even up to today, and may (I say may, because I don't know) be the one launching attacks against RickK.

Since User:Raptor made the above edit I guess Bird is creating more puppets? - Texture 21:58, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)


Bird seems to be mostly or totally blanking articles, most of which the user has contributed to extensively, or even exclusively. The big exception to this is the brain article. That was almost completely blanked with allegation of a copvio. I checked and the standard procedure for copyvios had not been followed which lead me to follow this up. I'd say bird requires watching over the next few days. David Newton 17:22, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • To get some context here, you might want to review Talk:Brain and also, User talk:Bird, before it was blanked, when I and Bird were having a discussion see this edit: [14]. It appears that our peer review standards were not high enough for Bird or something. Anyway s/he seemed to get bent out of shape about image formatting and decided to just leave. --Lexor|Talk 17:38, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Bird now appears to be going by the name of Accuracy dispute. Washington irving 19:56, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It appears that User:bird has now recruited a sock puppet. User:Accuracy dispute has already undone some of the reversions that were made to articles earlier. We have to sort this out.
There are two separate problems I see. One is that we have to stop Bird and sock puppets blanking articles. The other is that we have to investigate whether the articles are indeed copyvios, and if they are, we need to delete them. I'm going to protect pages that Bird is messing with so that we can sort this out once and for all. David Newton 20:01, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Where can we continue discussion of these pages. I can help re images. and original content. Washington irving 20:04, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, but you are the vandals. User bird questioned the integrity of contributions under that byline, and several users decided they would rather have innaccurate articles that were not even recognized as valid by the author. User bird stubbed the articles so better informed writers can fill them in when they find time, between their important task of telling other writers what they should do.
A mob of vigilantees moved into the USER_talk:bird page to tell user bird what user birds problem was but of this cabal of very intelligent encyclopedia writers, not one has attempted to accurately articulate what were birds concerns, and in the rush to lynch a vandal, few cared that it was bird questioning the provinence of bird's contributions. This can go on forever or people can respect that others do thing they might not want them to do and accept the loss. That is the outcome of this: the user name bird is lost to this community and I will not repair it. If people want this to stop, they will start researching and contributing to articles and will not grab a rope and yell vandal when somebody else makes a severe edit on text they wrote but can't fully trust. Or, you can spread the false romour that bird created intentionally false articles meerly for the opportunity to the be victim of a lynch mob.

Adding material of dubious provenance surreptitiously, then announcing it to be a copyright violation without specifying enough to allow its clean removal and then creating confusion with sock puppet user-ids constitutes bannable behaviour in my opinion. Pretending to do so likewise. I suggest starting on the procedure for banning Bird in all its incarnations. -- The Anome 16:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There was no serruptitious action. The material was added over the course of several weeks, there were comments added to the talk pages inviting criticism, such as the posting of a list of names of the cerebral hemispheres about which the user had honest doubts but attempted to make a good faith effor to identify. After the questionable identifications were on the talk page for two days, the user assumed them to be accepted by others who said they were watching, and placed them on the talk page. Further research led to further understanding about the regions, and more accurate identification and the user updated the caption to reflect accurate information.

When other users began to question aspects of the layout, users doubts further increased, and the user began reverting text about which user had doubts. If this is a project that ejects members who continue to question their writing after it is completed, or who do not allow other members to rest their confidence in content on the identity of an author, then that arbitration committee probably better just arbitrate, because that is the only standard at play - one which is arbitrary and capricious.

The user claims the user was hazed. There have been reports that new identities introduced in this environment were treated with either hazing or warm encouragement depending largely on political affiliation and acquiescence to acts of group agression. User:Your_Love_Is_Hollow

I did a temp-ban, as there have been suggestions that (a) this is a previously banned user and/or (b) it's a case of "rampage". I invite the Arbitration Committee to review my action. --Uncle Ed 19:13, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 137.94.11.222 / 205.189.49.40

is consistently vandalising Indian independence movement and Subash Chandra Bose with his PoV. The user seems to be ignorant of the usage of his/the article's talk page, and never reads the edit summaries. He has not responded to any request to consider rephrasing or properly substantiating his claims.

He sometimes blanks the article page to post his comments and has consistently in the past used (and has been warned for using) copyrighted material for presenting his case. A case in point is his repeated insistence in adding Swami Vivekananda to the list of Indian freedom leaders, and his blanking the contents of Subash Chandra Bose in the past (Without any substantial evidence, that would at least make it a NPOV dispute and could be dealt with)

There seems to be no way we can communicate to this user and reach a compromise. The user has not made any other worthwhile contribution to wikipedia. I advocate banning this user's IP address. chance 09:15, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)

        • I don't know. But, 137. shows no signs of tiring. He may not be a vandal who believes in blitzkrieg attacks, but as can be seen from his yesterday's edit in the Indian independence movement page he is madly persistent - saying the same things all over again, and my, what a nauseating plagiarist he is! This fellow cannot even bring himself up to defend what he says, with a few words of his own. I am sick of this attitude. I bet he is waiting for us to tire of him, and let him do all he wants, however stupid that may sound. If this is not persistent vandalism, what is? Something has to be done about this. Maybe a protection request for the pages, and not allow others edit? To protect the articles from one single person? chance 08:44, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)
        • 137's contribution for 9th Dec was the vandalising of Mahatma Gandhi. Protection of pages won't help as there's no dearth of articles for him to play with. Maybe ban the two IPs and check if he comes up with new ones. Jay 09:12, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated Vandalism by 12.64.etc/12.65.etc

    • It really seemed like more than one person, unless they were just reverting to earlier versions of articles. Some of the material was not only well-written, but worth keeping, but then some of it was illiterate. RickK 00:18, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
      • Everything from May 17 appeared to have the same style and theme. Here's an example:
        Douglas Feith, Defense Undersecretary for Policy. (Described by General Tommy Franks as the "fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth" according to Bob Woodward in Plan of Attack page 281.)

[edit] User [[16]]

Persistant and repeated vandalism of Chen Shui-bian. Changes text to:

"Abian" -- president in Taiwan who cheated all the way thru his ministry as well as on winning his 2nd presidential election with forging a fake assassination (the so called "bulletgate" scandal) the day before polling day. "Abian" has then become a common usage in everyday language, such as, verb: do not "abian" on your test, otherwise the score will not be recorded; noun: my goodness, you shoe is so "abian", it makes me sick!; adjective: "abian" on you! ("abian" is used to subsitute the word "same".)

Listing massive amounts of articles on Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion in a fit of pique because his Shawn Mikula article is being voted against. RickK

Logging in and out rapidly and adding VfD tags on all the articles he listed on VfD. All say "delete vanity" and are famous individuals. - Tεxτurε 20:25, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Is using the above IP's as sockpuppets for casting additional votes in MediaWiki talk:VfD-Shawn Mikula as well as using IP's 128.220.29.140, 70.16.2.172, 66.162.147.1, possibly 218.145.25.80, possibly 193.255.207.252, 62.168.43.84, 200.73.172.196, 68.162.212.205, 80.58.33.172, 208.183.105.4; and usernames Mikula, Janus san, Kanjiish, Shawn314, and Rajesh918. All of the preceeding have edit histories that reflect their status as an obvious sockpuppet, additional edits beyond the Mikula issue are (with few exceptions) vandalism. In addition all of the above approach the debate with a single mind, revising comments made by another, following one line of debate with serveral IP's, etc. When (if) the Mikula vanity page is deleted I would not be surprised if it appears again quickly authored by one of those IP's. User does not care about the vfd process, only wants to preserve his vanity. --Starx 16:07, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

Actually my user page and my user talk are his favourite target, since I protected Joschka Fischer which he apparently insists to be at Joschka Fischers official name - after about 10 reversions back-and-forth of his moving by copy-and-paste and attempt to make him discuss the topic, but instead of discussions he went haywire. I worry we have to block a whole IP range to get rid of this maniac. andy 19:46, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Notice of forthcoming vandalism

I know it's a little unusual to address vandalism before it happens, but bear with me. ;-)

The following articles are likely to be vandalised tonight and subsequent nights between approximately 2200-0200 UTC:

(Added Culture of Georgia -- ChrisO 22:11, 13 May 2004 (UTC) )

The vandalism will occur from anonymous proxies at 213.157.209.*, 213.157.202.* and 213.157.194.*. This is the former User:Levzur (contribs / talk), who has resigned his account ahead of an Arbitration Committee decision and embarked on a series of daily reversion wars. His motives are unclear, but appear to be a combination of imposing nationalist POVs and preventing anyone else from editing the articles. Users and sysops are requested to watch the pages in question and take action as necessary. Blocking individual IP addresses will be ineffective, as he is using multiple proxies across his ISP's three /24s. -- ChrisO 19:16, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

  • Indeed, this happened. And beyond that, it went for hours before anyone got to it. Which is just depressing. I mean, come on. We had prior warning that this was going to happen, and we... didn't fix it. Yay. Can the AC at least get together and rehear this? Please? Snowspinner 02:20, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
    • I see that RickK has blocked 213.157.209.0/24 until 20 May to choke off the vandalism from that /24 at least. Levzur will probably return tonight from one of his ISP's other /24s. But I agree, the AC really needs to get on with this - it's been going on for far too long and it isn't exactly a complex issue to deal with. If those /24s need to be blocked it's better for the AC to approve this in advance, rather than sysops having to impose blocks as they go along. -- ChrisO 07:33, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

Today's attack from Levzur is now underway. -- ChrisO 21:53, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

  • I'm disappointed to see that some admins have responded by protecting all of the articles on the list above. This is simply not a viable solution. Levzur has been at this in one form or another since December. He is simply trying to make us give up and go away. Zviad Gamsakhurdia, for instance, has already been protected at least six times over the past few months and Levzur has resumed attacking it within hours or days at the most after protection is lifted. Protection will achieve nothing except blocking anyone from editing the articles, which is apparently his aim - he does not debate or discuss his edits except to insist that he is right and everyone else is wrong (that is, when he bothers to explain his edits at all; he's not done this for some time). We can't leave articles protected indefinitely, which is what would be necessary if we were solely reliant on protection. In my view, blocking his IP addresses is the only solution to this persistent vandalism. -- ChrisO 22:03, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:212.219.92.98

This fellow is back and is (again) vandalizing sites repeatedly. An Adim warned him a month ago. Is it time to act? [[PaulinSaudi 10:49, 12 May 2004 (UTC)]]


[edit] User:66.185.84.80

This is still a problem user. Has begun updating articles with links to [www.benbest.com], which is in no way a noteworthy site. There's a long pattern of behavior here. Can someone please put a stop to it? Snowspinner 05:05, 17 May 2004 (UTC) Has been making troll/anti-Semitic edits to Whites, Heteronormativity, Jews, and Zionism. Has been abusive in his comments, suggesting a general vendetta aganst me. Violated three revert rule on Zionism with four attempts to add a link to Bias into the article. Snowspinner 06:49, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

  • He has also violated Wikipedia:No Personal Attacks - c.f. "I had also become accustomed to your ravings containing one to two lies per sentence." from further down in this discussion.
  • Has continued personal attacks into today - c.f. Talk:Caucasian race, specifically "you unfortunately being highly biased against White people and all" towards the bottom of the page.
I have not "continued" anything "into today." You being biased was highly relevant to the topic at hand. Also, you have admitted your bias against White people on several pages, so this is like a person saying to a child that he/she is a "young one." Specifically, you proved your bias against White people by saying that anti-White sentiment didn't exist whatsoever. Your trolling display is tiring, to say the least, Snowspinner. - 66.185.84.80
You are lying, mister.
1. I have not made any trolling or anti-semitic edits. I am trying to preserve objectivity and fairness, and you, with your clear bias for your people (as can be expected, but does not belong on Wikipedia), will not have any of that.
I'm sorry, who do you think my people are? Snowspinner 07:03, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
2. I do not have a vendetta against you, stop thinking so highly of yourself. I am watching the Recent Changes page and you happen to be involved in a lot of the POV edits while I have been on the last two hours or so.
"We are several people here who don't appreciate your bias. Stop attacking articles, Snowspinner." - You, editing Heteronormativity
3. Where do I flatly lie? You flatly lie yourself, even in this very complaint. For example, in addition to previously pointed out lies,
4. I have not said anywhere that Bias is references Zionism. I said that because you disallow that article to be NPOV, the article is relevant to Bias. Therefore I added the Bias link to the Relevant Articles section under the article itself.
I confess on this one. I misread one of your edit comments as saying that Bias links back into Zionism. My apologies. I retract that section of my complaint. Snowspinner 07:03, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
Thank you for playing, but truth is not so easily obscurated.
Indeed, one need only consult the edit history on the pages. Snowspinner 07:03, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
5. Also, you accused me of breaking the three-revert rule, when you have done the exact same thing. Consult the history pages. Luckily you are unable to fold your black wings of bias over them.
As I have said, my actions were not a violation of the three revert rule - I reverted two unrelated edits of yours - one three times, one two. That said, if you feel my actions are vandalism, you may feel free to list me on this page, and we'll see how it plays out. Snowspinner 07:23, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
Now you are blatantly lying again.
EVIDENCE OF LIE - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Zionism&action=history
  • 06:16, 12 May 2004 . . Snowspinner (Well, if anti-white sentiment exists (As you claim it does), NPOV demands that an article on it exist as well. And if it's relevent to a topic, as anti-semitism is to this, sense demands linking.)
  • 06:09, 12 May 2004 . . Snowspinner (Because no article on anti-white sentiment, europhobia, or anything else exists that I can find, I imagine.)
  • 06:03, 12 May 2004 . . Snowspinner (Considering the usage of "Zionism" by anti-Semitic groups, I think a link to the article on anti-Semitism is reasonable. The articles are on related subjects - this is enough to justify a see also.)
These three reverts are in sequence, and about the same thing, namely whether Zionism should contain links to Anti-Semitism when White nationalism does not have any such sympathetic links. So, I have uncovered yet another lie by you.
- 66.185.84.80
Which would be relevent, if it weren't for the fact that the rule is against more than three reversions. Regardless, my revert history is immaterial here - if you want to accuse me of vandalism, do so. But whether or not I have broken rules does not affect whether you have. Snowspinner 07:38, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
I am sorry, that was a mistake of mine then. Entirely mine, indeed, and I read your post all too quickly. See? I can admit to my mistakes. Can you?
Again, excuse my false accusation. I am new to Wikipedia and its rules, and I had also become accustomed to your ravings containing one to two lies per sentence. - 66.185.84.80
Mr. 66.185.84.80, might I suggest that you explain your edits on the relevant talk pages rather than simply making them again and again when people revert them? I see a lot of edit warring on controversial pages going on, but virtually nothing posted to any Talk pages by you. Just a thought - might make people less quick to shout "vandal". --Stormie 07:04, May 12, 2004 (UTC)

Won't take no for an answer on zionism no matter what reality says. His motives are rather suspicious and he is clearly trolling the page. GrazingshipIV 06:59, May 12, 2004 (UTC)

Exactly which reality says that the zionism article is not related to bias? Your personal reality of emotionally motivated opinions? If anybody's motives are suspicious it is the people who blatantly refuse to have the same standards of objectivity in politically correct and politically incorrect articlees just because they feel like it. Also, you just violated the personal attacks rule Snowspinner is on about. - 66.185.84.80
I fail to see any personal attack in GrazingshipIV's post there - he said you were trolling. This is a judgment of action, not of character. By the same token, am I violating personal attacks by listing you as vandalizing pages? Snowspinner 21:46, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

Wasn't Paul Vogel banned from posting to Wikipedia? Why, then, is this address still posting here? RickK 14:07, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

I am not Paul Vogel, I don't even know who he is. Before a week ago, I rarely ever visited Wikipedia beyond random reads on topics of interest during surfing. I think it shows bad judgement of Bcorr to ban me for unfounded suspicions of being another user, and right as I was in the middle of a debate too. I demand an apology, and I'd like to warn you all against the injustice of spreading malicious rumours that aren't even founded. - 66.185.84.80
This is clearly Paul Vogel using a new tactic to make the same changes to the same pages with the same extremist comments. The chances of two people using the same IP with the same exact views on the same articles is improbable. The only other possibility is that Paul has put someone on his own account to harrass as his proxy. Either way I see this as an attempt to circumvent the ban and continue his crusade. This IP needs to be blocked for attempting to get around the ban. - Tεxτurε 18:50, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
No, nothing is clear here, and I still don't know - much less *is* - Paul Vogel. Tell me exactly what has transcribed, beyond downright 1984 censorship. Where did he do edits with my IP? My contributions page shows only my work this latest week. Before that (its an old IP) some assorted people with the same IP has edited at various times in various topics of no interest to me. - 66.185.84.80
Also, what "extremist" comments would that be? The kind that doesn't exist, but looks nice on a complaint? I dare you to show us these "extremist comments," liar. If you think it is extremist to make note that racism is also commited against Whites, then I am afraid that you are biased against Whites and give different treatment based on race - a racist in other words. - 66.185.84.80
Although I think this user should be banned, I am not sure why we think it's PV. Vogel has never used IPs beginning in 66.185 so far as I can tell from User:Paul Vogel. Indeed, he appears to be in New York, not in Canada. Where am I missing evidence that Vogel ever used this IP or ISP? Snowspinner 20:11, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
Ah, the heck with it, he's now lying and saying I've admitted to bias against whites, and I don't care anymore. If you want to make him go away because he's Vogel, be my guest. If you want to do so because he engages in personal attacks, all the better. Either way, one less user contribution list I have to regularly check to see what needs reverted. Snowspinner 17:20, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

    • 21 so far.. can someone block this idiot? --Stormie 06:26, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
      • I do not think ViP is the appropriate place for this - it's very likely that this is a naive new user. Until some more good faith efforts are made to contact the user, they should get the benefit of the doubt. Which does not mean that these articles shouldn't be listed for deletion - they should, and they should be listed en masse. But I'm not willing to call it vandalism yet - it could be naivete. Snowspinner 06:29, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
        • Hmm, I think it is extremely unlikely that this is anything other than wilful vandalism OK, watching his further efforts, I am now willing to concede that this user may be naive (or insane), rather than an active vandal, but what "good faith" efforts can you make with an anonymous user who shows up and creates dozens of nonsense articles? You posted something on his talk page (far more politely than I would have I must say!), he has ignored it - I say block him and see if that makes him slow down and read your message. --Stormie 06:35, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

They also maybe using a non-registered username. After careful investigation I found out that this person was making their posts from an Anonymous Web Browsing Service called Guardster.com. I thought AWBS's are a big NO! NO! on Wikipedia? Misterrick 06:57, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Schadenfreude | talk | contributions

Blanking Five-Year Plan, Joseph Stalin and other pages. Andris 22:00, May 7, 2004 (UTC)

  • Vandalism warning issued -- Arwel 22:24, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
  • FYI correlation: User:Schroeder & User:SchroedingersCat vandalized the same set of articles yesterday, which I have reported. Also, today Schadenfreude targeted my page. --Humus sapiens|Talk 22:37, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
    • Yes, I'd noticed it was probably the same person, and was trying to annotate your warning when Andris created this entry! The Anome has also issued a warning to this user about abusing other users. -- Arwel 22:40, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:64.12.116.83 and other addresses in 62.12.*

Blanking random pages, especially User:Maximus Rex's talk and user pages. Knows that he/she/it is vandalizing (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:64.12.116.83&curid=639693&diff=0&oldid=0). Maybe User:CoolDude from below? Paullusmagnus 02:06, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 213.157.194.83, 213.157.194.115, 213.157.209.203, 213.157.209.217, 213.157.209.234

These IPs have been apparently used by the same person to make similar "corrections" into several pages related to Caucasian languages, e.g. Laz language, Svan language, Megrelian language, South Caucasian languages, Iberian-Caucasian languages, and Caucasian. According to all the sources I have seen the "corrections" are incorrect and misleading, apparently attempts to present a distorted view of the linguistic situation of the Caucasus for political purposes. This person also insist on adding (suspect) ethnic classification comments to articles that are strictly about language.
Unfortunately the person refuses to cite his sources or provide any comment or justification whatsoever.
It is very likely that the person is this user who withdrew from Wikipedia a few days ago after having become the subject of several complaints.

[edit] User:24.19.6.250

Update: User is back at work in the past few days. Still reverting existant pages to junk pages on Xena characters. Snowspinner 03:40, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

Long history of junk updates about characters who may be minor characters on Xena. Seems to overwrite legitimate mythological entries with them. Possible that updates are not even characters in Xena, but characters from an online RPG - see Template:VfD-Saraphine for discussion and evidence of this. Snowspinner 23:01, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • I agree...the user has even been contacted numerous times on his talk page, but has persisted without responding or adapting. Postdlf 3:26 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • Not just mythological entries. See the history of Shasta. RickK 03:36, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I'll see if I can make an afternoon of reverting any entries by this user to older forms then. /sigh. And I'd so much rather be talking about Kant or videogames, too. Snowspinner 05:56, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • I've looked into this a bit further, and after a random sampling, I am reasonably convinced that few of the characters user has added are actually characters in Xena - I feel that all articles contributed by user ought be deleted. Snowspinner 16:02, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree with Snowspinner, except that care must be taken in deleting, to ensure that overwritten valid content is restored. Recent examples, where I restored the former contents, are Beth and Misery. In both cases I left in the Xena content but without trying to verify that the characters are "real" as opposed to coming from a Xena-themed RPG or fanfic. Deleting them all seems reasonable even if a few babies get tossed out with the bathwater. JamesMLane 06:53, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:7fex5q2ek

Has vandalized User:Adam Bishop and moved it, and has also vandalized vandalism appropriately enough. Snowspinner 22:29, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

-He/She probably is new to Wikipedia and doesn't know how things work sometimes, so he/she just post messages in articles. If we tell him/her what to do, he/she would probably do the right thing. --Lst27 22:52, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

I would agree, were it not for the moving of Adam's userpage, which suggests both a level of competency and an ignoring of the large warning sign on the Move this page option. Snowspinner 22:54, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
Currently a little ways into a 24-hour block. If user has good intentions, user will be back and be more reasonable about doing things properly. Otherwise user may be blocked again as necessary. - Fennec 23:00, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
