User:Michael vandalism modus operandi [2] SkArcher 02:03, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

He inserts interwiki links? If that's vandalism, then I'm really in trouble. Guanaco 00:35, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Was he maybe inserting them to the wrong articles? That would be Michaely... Snowspinner 02:19, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
I screwed up the contrib link >_<. The user I was citing was doing things like changing a sentence from "the most human of the sciences" to "the least human of the sciences" - nothing to do with interwiki at all SkArcher 13:53, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

persistent vandalism to Internet democracy. Anonymous user (also using IP's 193.198.140.68, 193.198.128.197, 193.198.144.102, 193.198.144.79, 193.198.145.40, 193.198.129.170 and 193.198.138.46) failed to win over anybody else in a large amount of discussion (now archived) on whether to include his content. He keeps coming back, removing the existing content, and replacing it with his own dubious version. Further, he is using abusive language toward anyone who restores the proper article text. I believe it would be prudent to place longer-term bans on his IP's. -- Stevietheman 16:31, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

He's spread over a good proportion of a class B, I'd have to block a /18 or so. Does anyone think that's justified? Pakaran. 00:02, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
No it's only the one article. I've protected intenet democracy which should deter him. theresa knott 13:35, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • This user is a serial vandal, having done the same thing before and is reverting my undoing of his edits, using the following modus operandi: E will vandalise minor pages (example:anna) which are less likely to be spotted quickly, and then make minor changes to busy pages to include links to the previously defaced page. Insidious little bugger, trying to avoid version reverts to his vandalism. See List of programming languages for evidence of ongoing nature of vandalism over a couple of days.

[edit] User:CML

  • Changed Darth Vader haircolor from "blonde" to "PENISTOE" As seen here.
  • Habitually adding non-notable POV profiles of high school teachers. most of which have been or are being deleted. EX: Daniel E.Cerquitella, Jeffrey T. Nomura - and reportedly removing VfD notices.
  • Added "Adolf Hitler" to Geroge W. Bush article. As seen here.Davodd 10:26, Jun 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • I believe he is also 24.19.14.88, whose only contributions have been vandalism of Darth Vader and a flame war in defense of Jeffrey T. Nomura on the VfD page. RickK's comments on CML's talk page imply this as well. Chris N. 10:33, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 213.137.118.36

Not-so-subtle vandalism. Puts blatant garbage on pages (like "blah blah blah" for quotes, and "Nikolic is a robot" for an article on Tomislav Nikolic. Seems to have something against Serbia, and its people. It looks like they stopped after I left a note on their talk page, but I'm adding them here just in case they strike again (with 'minor edit' checked). -Frazzydee 20:48, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

          • Hello, I am the 213.137.118.36. I live in Serbia, I am patriot, but I hate politicians.

[edit] Can anyone tell me what happened to this page?

Ahmedabad the history page says that:

  1. cur) (last) 01:31, 11 May 2004 Kunjan1029
  2. (cur) (last) 05:18, 10 Jun 2004 Seems (Places of Interest)
  3. (cur) (last) 03:27, 3 Jun 2004 Kunjan1029 m (typo!)

notice how may is listed as more recent then june is this a bug ?? also how to restore a page from history?

--kunjan1029 22:22, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Not vandalism, so doesn't belong here. Definitely was some sort of bug, the page got REDIRECTed to itself. When I reverted to the 10 Jun version, the 11 May version in the history went away. RickK 22:29, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

sorry didnt know where this belonged. yeah i was reverting (learning) and u did it before me. ;) but i m glad i copied that page history coz it disappeared now. the reason i saw that page was because of this on my watchlist: N 07:31:26 Karnavati (diff; hist) . . Mkweise (Talk) (Karnavati moved to Ahmedabad) also could u move this to the bug page and let me know where it is on my talk page. --kunjan1029 22:34, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC) saw the page history for Ahmedabad I did move Karnavati to Ahmedabad coz it was incorrect. (cur) (last) 01:30, 11 May 2004 Kunjan1029 (moved karnavati back to ahmedabad see talk page for ahmedabad.) Definately a bug. notice how the time is different 1:30 when i did it and 1:31 what it shows in my post above... --kunjan1029 22:41, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Example (talk • contribs)
    An anon from Rustavi 2 Online in Georgia (likely former User:Levzur). Spamming Quantum mechanics and other science articles with text about Georgian scientists and their papers. I reverted, but he's likely to be back under different IP.Andris 02:24, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] 62.246.66.212

More East/West Germany nonsense. Was already speedy deleted, now it's back as Westgermans in East germany. - Lucky 6.9 00:58, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)


[edit] User:80.193.174.2

This user vandalized the talk page of West Germany, this has occurred not long after User:195.166.69.189 vandalized the same page.

[edit] User:Michael

These entries are all likely the banned user:Michael. He edits from AOL, so blocking will not do any good. Deal with these by watching and reverting until he gives up.

Michael is creating user accounts like User:Hephaestos' father to harass User:Hephaestos and is making suspicious edits to music-related articles. Guanaco 21:05, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

You don't understand. Micheal DOESN'T GIVE UP until he is banned. RickK 05:51, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

Just out of curiousity, why doesn't AOL work for blocking? Forgive me for not knowing already. blankfaze | ?? | ?? 05:55, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It doesn't not work, it's just if you block an AOL proxy, you disconvenience a lot of other AOL users as well. Dysprosia 05:58, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Ah. AOL users surf through proxies? I wasn't aware of this. blankfaze | ?? | ?? 06:21, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Yep. It's a rather stupid strategy to conserve external bandwidth. They have a 6 digit number of users per proxy, IIRC. Pakaran. 15:45, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:64.12.117.15

This, admittedly, is a strange entry. User has a long history of excellent contributions. However, someone at this IP just listed another one of those bizarre entries where the entry name matches the article. The latest: Operative art. The total content? "Operative art." - Lucky 6.9 06:09, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

User has been adding tags such as Category:1988 albums to articles. Frequently adding two or more tags to one article, and tags are frequently wrong. Is, obviously, moving over multiple IPs so as to make it as difficult as possible to track and rollback. Snowspinner 16:19, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:64.12.116.83 and other addresses in 64.12.*

  • Here we go again. Another substub/title match. This time, it's the Plain of Ida. I give up. - Lucky 6.9 18:25, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)


[edit] 65.103.23.249

  • Another bizarre substub: Minnesota Correctional Facility - Stillwater. Title and content are the same, IP varies. I think we have us a bot since a couple of these have popped up on legitimate user histories. - Lucky 6.9 18:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Note: There is now a perfectly good stub article under this same title but by a different user. - Lucky 6.9 19:55, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think we got linked to from LUE. Needs protection. They're just having a field day out there. All sorts of fun stuff has been added...*sigh* --PMC 08:04, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • Mirv just protected GameFAQs. Whew! What in the world is LUE? SWAdair | Talk 08:22, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • One of the GameFAQs forums. It's where a lot of the older accounts hang out. Some of them are rather immature, as shown by their vandalism of the article. (LUE stands for Life, the Universe and Everything, the official name of the board) Getting linked there is a lot like getting Slashdotted - you just know that pain is coming soon. PMC 08:33, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
    • Fortunately none of them seem to have worked out that there are articles other than GameFAQ here. DJ Clayworth 17:37, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Openfly

I'm not sure if this is vandalism either, but we might want to be careful. Has two articles, Nyc2600 and Aboveten. They're both about hacker's groups. The first gets lots of Google and is listed for cleanup but the second is pure vanity and near nonsense. - Lucky 6.9 23:49, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:APatcher

  • Example (talk • contribs)

[edit] User:Spleeman

Repeatedly deleting large amounts of information from Anarchism due to its failure to conform to his personal view of anarchism. Has violated the three revert rule, and continues to revert even after having this rule pointed out to him. Snowspinner 04:13, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Colinrorr

Author of the Danny Rosenblatt vanity page. Has reverted edits on the VfD page, is pleading "freedom of speech" and has duplicated his nonsense on Freedom of Expression. Please block now. - Lucky 6.9 01:11, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

  • He has also deleted various comments from posters when he did not like what had been said. I've had to revert on the talk page once and at least three times on Danny Rosenblatt. TheCustomOfLife 01:13, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I've blocked him for 24 hours, but he'll be back with the same nonsense. I deleted Freedom of Expression and Danny Rosenblatt, which was a redirect to FoE. Guanaco 01:31, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:209.240.205.63 and User:Freelanceresearch

  • Insists on slandering the critics of Sathya Sai Baba e.g. Skeptics "such as Premanand, 'a school drop out", "Tal Brooke who is an evangelical Christian sees himself as a 'false prophet and an 'Antichrist, as predicted in the Bible." "Hari Sampath's website, sathyasaivictims.com went down after a query was turned over to Illinois police regarding a report on an internet message board that Sampath was wanted in India for theft and sexual assault. Since then Sampath's high profile public appearance seems to have evaporated." This user is probably sincere but brainwashed. User threatens to sue Wikipedia if s/he is blocked.

[edit] User:69.40.127.62, User:24.218.135.223 and others

An anon with shifting proxies. The article is nothing more than an echo of the title. See D. Ray James Correctional Facility if it hasn't already been speed-deleted. There's been about a dozen of these today. - Lucky 6.9 21:35, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:66.87.145.165

This user (who has always used the same IP) as been vandalising International Star Registry repeatedly for about one month now, deleting every mention of criticism and essentially trying to turn the article into advertising. Also wrote on my talk page twice, first making vague threats, then trying to insult me, more or less.

I have protected International Star Registry for now, but of course, that can only be a temporary solution; I'd advocate blocking this user (especially since they never contributed anything useful), but I'd like to hear other's opinion on this first. A 24-hour block is unlikely to be effective since the user only seems to edit every couple of days at most. -- Schnee 20:05, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I banned the IP after more personal attacks on my talk page (and, in the process, unprotected International Star Registry again). If there's any objections to the ban, please discuss them here. Thank you! -- Schnee 14:12, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Looks like Nika started where 68.192.144.32 left off, doing the same exact edits but in multiple pieces. Has anyone confirmed the source for these statistics?

I've blocked the IP for 30 days and User:Nika indefinitely. There's no reason we should tolerate this kind of vandalism. Guanaco 17:52, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[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 02:06, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I don't really see a problem here. Yes they're stubs (of the pathetic kind even) but it's valid information. The stubs will get fixed eventually. - Hephaestos|§ 02:09, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
With all due respect, I am convinced that this is more than a problem and is on its way to becoming an epidemic. The stubs are almost totally without content, virtually useless and other users are starting to become irritated by the whole affair as well. I can't see the logic in keeping these for the sake of simply having an entry...and not all of these get fixed. Several are still languishing and others aren't much more than wikified. The dinglefritz just drops these things and runs. It's like dealing with an idiot savant. - Lucky 6.9 07:19, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

The user has only vandalized the Africa article once but made comments endorsing genocide (see:[4]), making comments such as "I'LL BE SO GLAD WHEN WHITES ARE OBLITERATED FROM THE PLANET AND THE WORLD IS ALL NON-WHITE."

  • (User:194.8.54.251 | talk | contributions) - Ones I've checked for this IP (I've only checked this one) actually seem factually correct, which is a worry since, I er, reverted a few without really, cough, looking I've reverted my reverts for this IP --bodnotbod 14:53, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)
I should, perhaps, make it clear I do not have the intention of looking at the 2 IP addresses I haven't annotated - I probably gave the impression I was going through them systematically. Erm. I'm not. It's annoying. I mean, I noticed that other people had been reverting those I did look at, so I'm sure I'm being overly anxious. Which reminds me, I haven't had my tablets. --bodnotbod 00:48, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)
(There seems little doubt these IPs are all one and the same person: see Michelle Branch: history for instance).
I'm not knowledgeable about these things - but having looked extensively at the edits made by the two IPs I've annotated I wondered if it was two students sitting next to each other in the same library: one of them a fairly nice chap and the other intent on being mischievous. Cos there's a definite difference in behaviour depending on the Ip you look at. --bodnotbod 17:20, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

Making extensive changes to YYYY in music, YYYY in sports, YYYY in film (where YYYY is a year). Changing lots of dates, for instance in 1984 in music and Michelle Branch, he insists on repeatedly changing her birth year from 1983 to 1984, although, for instance her official autobiography and many other sources say 1983.

Also insists on creating pages with lowercase last names, like Summer altice, which others then have to move to the uppercase version.

There are far too many changes for me to research, and this is not my area of interest anyway. I don't know if he is mixing legitimate changes with vandalism, or is just seriously misguided, or what.

[edit] 128-bit era (multiple IPs)

MULTIPLE IPS -- For this listing it is easier not to list the IPs, but list the problem instead. There are multiple IPs using 128-bit era as a chat room. I keep trying to revert to a good copy of the article but keep getting edit conflicts. They are reposting over each other so fast I can't even revert. I'll check this article later to see if it is possible to revert. Just wanted to let others know so they can look into it also. Thank you. SWAdair | Talk 08:21, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I've blocked all but one IP involved (total of three IPs blocked). I would have protected, but the last time I did that without warning the users (in that case, there were five IPs doing it) I was chided in an edit summary. Heh. If it hasn't cooled down already (or if the users return), I'll protect the article. -- Hadal 08:29, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The page has been protected for now, as the vandalism just kept coming. *sigh* -- Hadal 08:57, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:4.228.213.*, User:4.228.90.*, User:4.227.175.*

This user has been repeatedly adding an off-topic paragraph to Anti-American sentiment, and before that was making other contested edits as well. I would ordinarily consider this to be a dispute over content, but he's taken to "disguising" his edits with misleading edit summaries or by immediately making "legitimate" edits afterward to make reversion more difficult. Also changes IPs after every edit and won't respond on the article's talk page. Seems to have an anti-Canadian and anti-immigration agenda. Bryan 01:13, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User creating actor substubs

known as:

and probably others refuses to answer several messages to his page, keeps creating pages regardless. Modus operandi the same. He's also using an anon IP roaming address. Not deliberate vandalism, just a pain. Dunc_Harris|☺ 21:52, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC). Move to speedy delete articles?

Could it be a bot? The substubs all seem to be the same. These aren't normally candidates for speedy deletion, but if he refuses to be talk to, that may be what we should do. Guanaco 21:58, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The edits seem to be too slow to be a bot. Guanaco 21:59, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I think this user may have acquired a username as user:TheCustomOfLife user talk:TheCustomOfLife, special:contributions/TheCustomOfLife. thank whatsit for that. Creating a lot of new pages. Trying to talk to him/her... Dunc_Harris|☺ 22:20, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

User:TheCustomOfLife denies that he/she was the substub author, sorry for the misidentification. Dunc_Harris|☺ 22:36, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I am fairly sure the only IP User:TheCustomOfLife editted from is 65.0.129.226. I have found him very responsive, and he picked up on wiki markup fairly quickly, then Wikipedia intro style, and even took the responsibility to circle back around and clean up his early entries. He has greatly expanded/improved Wikipedia coverage of US soap operas, and has turned Another World from a minimalist stub I made from the original contribution ("The emmy-winning NBC soap Another World air from 1964 to 1999 for 35 years.") into one of the most comprehensive TV series articles on Wikipedia. Not bad for someone who's only been here one week. Niteowlneils 00:04, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
User:TheCustomOfLife has been incredibly helpful in cleaning up the mess left by the anon with the ever-changing proxies. He/she refuses to answer polite posts. I've even tried an insult, but no go. Also, he/she never returns to flesh the articles out. I got reamed for putting these up for speedy deletion and I am sick and tired of either cleaning them up myself or posting them for cleanup. These should be deleted on sight as vandalism assuming that the proxies can't be blocked. They're a waste of time, and I feel we all have more to contribute to this site than cleaning up the electronic equivalent of toilet-papering a house. - Lucky 6.9 00:06, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This IP address is always going back and changing information about Soka Gakkai International and related pages to remove references to Soka being considered controversial or a 'cult' by some. I feel like the article text does a good job of representing both sides of the argument (ie. being NPOV), but s/he seems to just be interest in whitewashing the whole situation. This has happened repeatedly over a long stretch of time, all from the same IP. Does the community agree that this is worthy of a ban by wikipedia standards? --Carl 08:55, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

He or she did it again. The summary said, "Don't know what NPOV means. Corrected facts and removed editorializing," but in actuality, all they removed was the statement that some people believe that Soka Gakkai is a cult. Well, go to http://www.buddhajones.com/ and you'll see that it's true. Some people think it's a cult. Does everyone? No. Does wikipedia say it's a cult? No. Someone should really ban this user, since they only spout propaganda for Soka Gakkai, instead of helping with anything else.

Nothing interesting here. Your garden variety vandal. Already reverted, just waiting for the block. Snowspinner 03:57, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

Don't block unless this user continues to vandalize. When Snowspinner made that comment, the anon had not been warned. Keep an eye on him. Guanaco 04:05, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Eek. My bad, sorry. Was excessively multitasking when I posted this one - shouldn't have asked for the block, and should have warned myself. :( Snowspinner 17:50, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

=== User:217.128.42.12 Maranatha Bible College === might be abuse might be ignorance, I can't tell don't know the user's history Williamb 13:12, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)I have not vandalised or in any way altered Wikipedia pages, I am using a school computer so is it possible that another user on this IP address has offended exiting material?

Yes. Though this sort of question is better asked on the Wikipedia:Help desk. -- Beland 02:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC} I would have thought teen or younger would be the culprits, but once politics and religion were considered i realized what true and immature sickos we,re dealing with..
