[edit] 66.171.124.70

Repeatedly changing Rutgers University and Cap and Skull to either remove referenece to C&S (at the Rutgers page) or to vandalise (at the C&S page). In addition, ALL of his edits (except for Jimmy Hoffa and Mafia) have been either vandalism or promoting Stephen Bronner], Order of the Bull's Blood, and Brotherhood of the Golden Dagger. Extraordinarily annoying--Etaonish 12:36, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

Has also just attempted to remove his name from the list. --Etaonish 12:37, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

Do you have a problem that I have completely redesigned and expanded the Rutgers University entry? Your petulant desire to promote an inactive organization of no consequence has nothing to do with the entry and if i knew I could just "revert" to a previous incarnation, i wouldn't have just deleted it. Thirdly, I'm in the process of writing bios for the "notable faculty" It's not my fault I started with the top of the list. As for the other two, it's in the interests of comprehensiveness. I don't care if you're a 15-year old wunderkind spending a few years at RU, you, sir, are extraordinarily annoying.
You don't seem to accept the fact that it IS considered vandalism to put stuff on the Cap and Skull page like "Yes that's how lame they are"? You also removed your name from this page (twice), blanked your talk page when we warned you, and refused to incorporate any explanation at all with your edits. In addition, I never "promoted" the organization (which is still active); I am impressed by how you expanded the page, but that alone doesn't justify you inserting your opinions on Cap and Skull into the article. We all have done excellent work on pages, and personally, I've done much more than you have. I'm simply stating, in the interests of comprehensiveness, that Cap and Skull is a secret society at Rutgers. Nothing more. I have no beef with how you're expanding the page or writing bios, (I even complimented you on what I assume is your account, ExplorerCDT). I am complaining about your inability to assume a neutral position. Wikipedia is not a depository for your opinions.--Etaonish 16:57, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 62.171.194.36

As far as I can tell, pretty much everything he's done is to damage articles, from changing all of Big Bang to "BANG!!" to changing almost everything in Paris Hilton to sexual innuendo and even crossreferencing it to other articles he's maimed in the past. hif 8.13 GMT -5, Sep 29, 2004

[edit] 60.25.123.134

Just added Japanese advertising (?) to Kazimierz Bartel and Peugeot 204. Odd targets...

I have already blocked this user once tonight at (218.17.81.99 | talk | contributions) for doing exactly the same thing. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 02:29, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] PenisCone

Vandal seemingly connected to the organized group of vandal/spammers connected with the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gay Nigger Association of America affair. He's vandalized userpages as well as the vfd page itself -- and he's still on the job. Aris Katsaris 21:43, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Blocked. —No-One Jones (m) 03:24, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 68.88.167.204

User has been adding genital related comments to various articles. Jayjg 19:34, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 209.7.119.150

IP has a history of senseless edits, but seems to have no warnings in its talk page. I think it clearly is a vandal.

[edit] 24.64.223.203

IP has an intermittent history of vandalism. On Sept 27-28 vandalized a number of articles and began to repeatedly vandalize Arthur Koestler article. Jayjg 15:14, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wiggles

User:Wiggles Contribs. On 27 September vandalised Wales at 1157 UTC, Ramiro I of Aragon at 1158, Medical/Market Center Station at 1200, and June 28 at 1202. Blocked for 30 minutes pending investigation of this user's activity, during which time user #9053 was autoblocked at 1207 UTC for coming from the same IP address.
Investigation showed the following articles were vandalised by this user on 21 September (all subsequently reverted, but not apparently reported here): John Mason at 1217, Berlin University of the Arts at 1344, Disk mirror (twice) at 1345/6, Bajoran at 1307, Army Men (game) at 1403, User Talk:Fishal at 1412, United States at 1414, and List of breakfast cereals multiple times at 1211. 1312 (twice), 1314 (twice), and 1506.
Strong warning left on his talk page. This user has never made a constructive edit to Wikipedia, therefore I recommend (and will action if I'm around at the time) an indefinite block of this user if he resumes his activities. -- Arwel 12:59, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Have blocked this user for 24 hours for vandalism of Arwel's user page, would support a permanent block after review of this user's edits. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 12:25, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • User:213.232.79.237 has just gone through vandalising disability articles; to his last edit he added the disability Wiggles disease. Strong possibility that this is Wiggles returning, will block Wiggles permanently, look out for other related edits. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:21, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 68.174.151.155

Adding several questionable edits and insists on posting a substub about someone named Sheila Bush even after the article was speed-dele ted earlier today. Keeps removing the deletion notice as well. - Lucky 6.9 01:59, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:210.246.20.179

  • (User:210.246.20.179 | talk | contributions)
    -- Deliberately vandalising New Zealand page despite other users pointing out the error of his ways. It is highly likely this person is responsible for similar vandalism under the names of User:210.246.8.105, User:210.246.20.54, User:210.246.12.212 and User:Timh. Moriori 21:37, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Xlogold

  • (Xlogold | talk | contributions)
    Keeps trolling Mullet, Bowl cut, and Coca-Cola, and made a bunch of horrible substubs on hairstyles. I suspect User:Mogrady and User:68.9.174.220 of being the same person. -- Pyrop 20:45, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Gagaddd

  • (Gagaddd | talk | contributions)
    Moving pages around quickly, I gave up after the third link, I'm too busy to try to fix it now (even if I could), but the major page is Hurricane Jeanne; follow the redirects from there. Looks like about 10 moves. -- Golbez 18:20, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
From the pattern of vandalism, this appears to be the same person as 141.156.118.2, who was vandalizing User:Proteus and Mount Saint Helens earlier Kaszeta 18:25, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Blocked 72 hours as returned vandal - David Gerard 18:40, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Einstein332211

Return vandal who has vandalized monkey in the past. He's back, having moved monkey and vandalized it, also vandalisms to sugar, Cicero, and Hurricane Jeanne. Vandalisms corrected and warning placed on eir talk page. - UtherSRG 16:40, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Blocked for 10 days. - UtherSRG 16:53, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Block changed to "indefinite" to match former user id (Hi332211). - UtherSRG 16:57, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 212.219.189.68

User:212.219.189.68 Contribs has vandalized several pages today. And somewhere along the line, we've lost the comment template for new entries on this page. --Ponder 14:01, 2004 Sep 27 (UTC)

[edit] Jasondeli

Jasondeli (contribs) has committed several acts of somewhat sneaky vandalism with the edit summary "rv vandalism". -- Cyrius|✎ 05:07, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

As he vandalized my user page 23 seconds after I warned him to stop, and I had no prior contact with him, user is now blocked for 24 hours. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:13, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 67.67.218.53

User:67.67.218.53 User talk:67.67.218.53 This person has added spam to Morse code. --L$T27 22:35, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 213.249.155.235

Following two legitimate edits on February 13, 2003, this user has made a string of occasional vandalising edits. The most recent vandalism, on September 24, 2004, follows the placing of two warnings on the user's talk page.

The most recent vandalism, after being reverted, was repeated by User:217.43.27.3, who has made no other edits. No direct information on whether this is the same person.

[edit] 62.252.0.x

Keeps on inserting the same "fact" into British Empire. Has also inserted insults and changed facts to falsities in other articles. Occasional contributions to talk pages tend to be provocative rather than useful. -- Derek Ross | Talk 18:42, 2004 Sep 26 (UTC)

[edit] Willypedia on Wheels!(URGENT: returning high-speed page-move vandal)

The page was redirected as I was noting this Ancheta Wis 08:44, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC) I actually got the name wrong Willypedia not Willipedia , but two other people have detected this with the same symptom.

[edit] 24.103.63.56

Repeat edits/creation of football & 49er related pages, advertising 49ers fan page. Asked by two separate users to stop, but won't. --Feitclub 03:26, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
Back again, this time focusing on the San Francisco 49ers --Feitclub 03:45, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
User insists the link is relevant (and persists in adding it to the article), so rather than continue to revert I've posted a link to this issue on Wikipedia: Request for Comment --Feitclub 04:35, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 68.9.60.85

After a suspicious "test edit" on Sept. 19 2004, 68.9.60.85 has again added intentionally erroneous material to Voltaire, "born in Cyber City, Mars," which has been fixed.

[edit] 24.146.23.30

I believe this is 142.151.177.134 who was banned earlier this week for one week. Both IPs track back to Canada. Adds the same bogus line to the article Neva. --Richss 21:46, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

Richard, I don't know why you're acting hostile towards me. I originally added the fact about Russian folklore to the article Neva months ago. Apparently, someone then decided to remove it without leaving any stated reason. It was then replaced by 142.151.177.134. You and him then got into a bit of a spat about it, and he said the fact about Russian folklore was false. I don't know why he did this. I don't know him. He's certainly not me. He simply happens to share my nationality. This shouldn't be any big surprise. So do tens of millions of other people. Needless to say, the fact that he shares my nationality does not mean I share his belief that the facts I added to the article were false. Fact is, they aren't false, and fact is, me adding them to the article is not vandalism. I don't know why you'd think anything else. --24.146.23.30 00:26, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Whatever. If you are not the person who I've dealt with previously, I apologize. You obviously saw there was some debate on the validity of the statement in question if you took half a second to look at the discussion or the history. The fact of the matter is this statement IS NOT A FACT. It may be part of local folklore. However, I've tried to look this up and couldn't find anything supporting it. It just sounded bogus, written poorly, and nobody has provided a simple reference where this piece of folklore is discussed. I will let others make the edits from this point further. --Richss 02:57, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

24.146.23.30 made a questionable edit to the Friedrich Nietzsche page that I've reverted. Steve Casburn 02:35, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

24.146.23.30 has reverted my reversion. Rather than get into a reversion war, I'll defer to an administrator about what to do next. Steve Casburn 06:03, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I don't know why people seem to be getting into the habit of reverting my truthful and beneficial edits and then complaining about them in ViP, but oh well. --24.146.23.30 18:26, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
You may want to get a user account and make a case for the removed edits you consider to be truthful and beneficial in the associated Talk page. Ray Dassen 18:55, 2004 Sep 26 (UTC)
Thank-you for your suggestions. They are truthful and beneficial. As you can see, I've already followed one of them. As you can't quite yet see, I'll follow the other within a few days, when I have the time. --Ute Oronto 21:14, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 217.194.129.100

Anonymous user 217.194.129.100 is probably spam-linking (I haven't checked the links he adds carefully). He is still at it. Gadykozma 12:59, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The spamlinks all appear to be to directory sites related to [[3]]; these sites do appear to have some actual content and don't appear to have obnoxious advertising, but don't appear to be very useful resources yet. Ray Dassen 14:40, 2004 Sep 25 (UTC)

In my judgement, this was spam. I removed it all, but anyone who finds the links useful is free to add it back. —No-One Jones (m) 14:50, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Today this user stated their intent to continue making the same revert on the Surrealism article, once per day, despite multiple editors asking them not to. 63.169.104.2 is the same as this user. This appears to be a longstanding problem.

I would second a permanent ban. This user wasn't just some newbie losing their way not knowing what they were doing: this was very deliberate. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 22:51, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
It looked very much to me like a vandalbot style attack. I see no reason not to make the ban infinite (pending, of course, review by Jimbo and/or the AC at their discretion). Jwrosenzweig 23:02, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Also support permanent ban -- Chris 73 Talk 23:02, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

Several IP addresses in the 205.188.116.XXX range have been exhibiting Treason-esque behavior tonight, including vandalising User pages like mine. --Feitclub 00:58, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

Examples:

I guess that includes 205.188.117.XXX? He uses so many IP addresses it's hard to count them all. Can anything be done about this or do we simply "revert" until one side tires out?

Wait till he tires out then revert later. Patience is the key. There's one of him and lots of us. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 01:37, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

These two users have repeatedly deleted a valid section of the article "Catholicism". I don't believe they are doing this with malicious intent, but continually deleting an entire section of an article is obviously vandalism nevertheless.

Creating highly POV articles, which I have listed at Cleanup. Although I have repeatedly asked him/her to stop deleting the cleanup header, they keep doing so, and make no attempt to communicate. Probably more likely a newbie who doesn't understand how things work, but can't get him to stop deleting the cleanup header. RickK 04:52, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

  • I finally had to break my self-imposed anti-blocking policy on this guy because he continued to delete the NPOV and cleanup headers, and refused to discuss it. I will do the same with the anons who have also been working on these articles, if THEY revert the headers. RickK 06:18, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
    • Blocking may not be used to prevent a user from posting unpopular opinions. A content dispute between users should be settled on the article's talk page or on their own user talk pages. If it cannot be resolved that way, there is a clearly defined dispute resolution procedure to resolve contentious issues.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but there actually is an ongoing controversy as to whether Oswald, Mickey, and other cartoon characters are a continuation of the minstrel tradition. Is this being discussed someplace? Why is it "racism" to categorize these characters as "black fictional characters"? Jpgordon 19:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Becuase: 1-the author doesn't discuss this issue, just puts it there baldly. 2-doesn't discuss anything. 3-calls them "inkblot" or "inkblotted", which is racist. 4-there is no justification for doing so. RickK 20:20, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sept. 15

[edit] User:Mansukram

Creating highly POV articles, which I have listed at Cleanup. Although I have repeatedly asked him/her to stop deleting the cleanup header, they keep doing so, and make no attempt to communicate. Probably more likely a newbie who doesn't understand how things work, but can't get him to stop deleting the cleanup header. RickK 04:52, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

  • I finally had to break my self-imposed anti-blocking policy on this guy because he continued to delete the NPOV and cleanup headers, and refused to discuss it. I will do the same with the anons who have also been working on these articles, if THEY revert the headers. RickK 06:18, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
    • Blocking may not be used to prevent a user from posting unpopular opinions. A content dispute between users should be settled on the article's talk page or on their own user talk pages. If it cannot be resolved that way, there is a clearly defined dispute resolution procedure to resolve contentious issues. See Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for more. -- from Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Unpopular_opinions
    • Does blocking this user for POV violate the above, or is this a case of simple vandalism? -- orthogonal 14:10, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • Removing dispute and cleanup headers is vandalism. Snowspinner 14:57, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

Repeatedly vandalizing the In the news Template, and indicates that he/she will continue to do so, even if blocked. RickK 22:26, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

  • The reply on the talk page actually comes from 205.188.116.16 IP. That one has not touched "In the news" but has done a few other bizarre things, like adding "I am gay" to sysop warning messages. Given similarity of IPs, that's likely the same person. Andris 22:55, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 220.244.248.80, 220.245.135.99, 69.93.60.194

These users have been repeatedly adding and readding the same negative comments onto the Singapore page, as well as removing information, with no explanation whatsoever. Not all of the additions are completely invalid (I've left a few as-is), but so far they have completely refused to discuss any of the changes on the Talk page, despite having been asked to do so — they simply revert, again and again, making it completely impossible for it to work out a compromise NPOV article with them (or even, communicating with them at all). I've done three reverts already (and User:TUF-KAT has done one) and I've asked plenty of questions about their additions and deletions in the Talk page, but there's been no response so far. -- [[User:Ran|ran (talk)]] 20:21, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 68.7.74.150

Definitely the same person. Has re-added the racism to the cartoon articles yet again. RickK 02:44, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

Maybe I'm missing something here, but there actually is an ongoing controversy as to whether Oswald, Mickey, and other cartoon characters are a continuation of the minstrel tradition. Is this being discussed someplace? Why is it "racism" to categorize these characters as "black fictional characters"? Jpgordon 19:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Becuase: 1-the author doesn't discuss this issue, just puts it there baldly. 2-doesn't discuss anything. 3-calls them "inkblot" or "inkblotted", which is racist. 4-there is no justification for doing so. RickK 20:20, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • 68.7.74.150 inexplicably keeps removing "Cartoonists" category from Carla Speed McNeil despite repeated requests for an explanation ([9] [10] [11]), needlessly changed "science fiction" to "sci-fi", and altered the description for Category:Cartoonists to remove an appropriate inter-category link. Most other edits seem genuine, though negligible. May be the same person as 64.165.8.117. ←Hob 02:48, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)

Vandalizing User:TheCustomOfLife. Gzornenplatz 22:33, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

I was just about to add this myself. Repeated userpage vandalism, adding abusive comments to talk pages. Antandrus 22:35, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • I left a warning message on his talk and he suddenly stopped. He also made some additions to articles (about New Jersey towns and Soprano characters). Should those stay or be reverted? Andris 22:45, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure. Anything he has done is suspicious. By the way, I think 205.188.117.19 may be the same user--now he's using AOL. Antandrus 22:48, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

If it's Mr. Treason, he is under a hard ban and all of his edits are to be reverted. Mike H 00:46, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
Is there any way to query everything in a given IP range in a given time range, and do a mass revert? I know how to query it in SQL but one of you with the "keys" would have to do it... it appears the same user lauched an AOL vandalbot immediately after he was banned from 66.9.199.124 (Intellispace, NYC) Antandrus 00:50, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
RickK would know; I would not. Mike H 00:50, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)
You want to mass revert a whole range of AOL edits? How would you avoid reverting good edits by innocent AOLers? Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 00:53, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The time range would be narrow (the whole thing happened within about 20 minutes--and actually I think most of the vandalism was reverted; I just wondered if there was a way to be sure) Antandrus 00:55, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Nope, you'd have to be a developer to find a logged in user's IP address. RickK 05:45, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

I am going to impose a 24 hour ban effective immediate if he does not cease and desist and fully explain his objections to these pages on the talk pages. Sjc 08:44, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism, under the section What is not vandalism. I am correcting the articles. Husker007 17:11, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I believe they are referring to your joke article, continous misuse and removal of tags, and not explaining in the talk pages of your removal of large chunks of data in entries.

  • Husker007 is currently continuing to vandalize pages. I've also had to revert many pages by him in the past 12-14 hours. He has made no contributions other than vandalism. I recommend that the 24 ban be put into effect. --Chessphoon 17:21, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Chessphoon needs to read and check what is vandalism, I have not removed large chunks of data, merely changed some factual problems. User Chessphoon is reverting my edits without looking at the edits. All of my edits have been explained thouroughly in the summary of my edits. I recommend Chessphoon be talked to by a moderator about the inappropriateness of his actions. Husker007 17:29, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

    • That's not true, I've just checked you recent edits and you have not explained them. Changing the status of human fron 'secure' to extinxt is vandalism. I'm afraid we will have to block you from editing if you don't stop it. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 17:33, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Check again Missy. I started explaining them when people made it clear they needed to be explained. I changed humans from Secure to Extinct in the Wild, which is explained on the talk page. I suggest you show me one in the wild living as humans did naturally when they were wild animals if you wish to debate this point. Husker007 17:36, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

That was not an explanation. You are playing games. Theresa Knott (taketh no rest) 17:38, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
No, you appear to be playing games. I am attempting to become a contributing member of this community, and meeting with nothing but malice and hazing from the seasoned members. I thought Wikipedia was a mature forum where new contributers were respected, but obviously I was wrong. Husker007 17:41, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • (User:142.177.109.56 | talk | contributions)
    Yet another recent re-appearance of "Entmoots of Trolls". Propose range-blocking be re-instated.
  • Yep, it's the Halifax area (hlfx59-1-56.ns.sympatico.ca) of Stentor's network (ALIANT-TEL-142-177 = 142.177.0.0/16) -- The Anome 23:09, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Range-blocking of Halifax re-instated, with time set to "indefinite" -- The Anome 20:15, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      I've removed the range block. Are we going to block 300000+ people to enforce a ban on one unwelcome user? Assuming they are editing in bad faith and are trying to subvert Wikipedia, they seem to be succeeding through our own efforts. Guanaco 20:27, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • Just for information (I won't be arguing for or against the ban), I watch RC regularly and I've been checking for 142.177.X.X IPs in few last days. There appears to be one anon who frequently edits from changing IPs in this range, makes some decent contributions and is likely not EofT. If we block the range, he might get blocked as well. Apart from him and EofT, I haven't noticed any anon edits from this range. Andris 16:05, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately, this is the only way that we can enforce the hard ban of EoT, without endless manual chasing, or resorting to complaints to his provider or legal action. EoT is indefatigable once started. Unfortunately, it's better to block all Stentor customers in Halifax from editing, rather than subject Wikipedia's audience of several hundred million to EoT's output. I presume that 300,000 is the whole population of Halifax, however the block was much smaller than that, and presumably not everyone in Halifax uses the same ISP: even if we were to block the entire 142.177.0.0/16, we would only be blocking 65,536 IP addresses; as it was, the block was carefully crafted to only cover the minimum possible range of about 14,000 IP addresses that EoT "roams" across. If this creates a problem for this group of Stentor customers in Halifax, perhaps Stentor could consider looking at their own AUP for their users, and consider the commercial/legal costs and benefits? Perhaps the warning message should be "You are blocked from editing because of the behavior of one particular Stentor user in the Halifax area. To fix this, please mail abuse@aliant.net, citing this message." Perhaps we should also consider the relevance or otherwise of section 301.2 of the Canadian Criminal Code? -- The Anome 13:29, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • "Blocks may be imposed in instances where threats have been make or actions performed (including actions outside the Wikipedia site) which expose other Wikipedia editors to political, religious or other persecution by government, their employer or any others. In such a case a ban for a period of time may be applied immediately by any sysop upon discovery. Sysops applying such sanctions should confidentially notify the members of the Arbitration Committee and Jimbo Wales of what they have done and why. See No personal attacks." -- from Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Personal_attacks_which_place_users_in_danger
      • Is encouraging complaints to the anon's ISP, and possibly invoking the Canadian Criminal Code, contrary to this policy? -- orthogonal 14:06, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • I'm suggesting an alternative to range-blocking, not implementing it. Clearly, we should not do this without serious consideration. However, you might want to recall why this user was blocked in the first place, which was explicitly for rather serious "threats". As I see it possible means for response to recalcitrant hard-blocked users are: (1) exhortation [failed] (2) blocking [see above] (3) recourse to ISP AUPs. By the way, we don't have to "invoke the Canadian Criminal Code". It invokes itself when someone does something contrary to it. Are you saying that we are not allowed to discuss these things here? -- The Anome 15:07, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC) (updated)
        • Of course, if you have a better idea for a practical solution, I'd love to hear it. -- The Anome 14:44, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
        • No, of course we are allowed to discuss this. And we should discuss it. Although perhaps on a general policy page where more users might see it. I just wanted to note that doing it might leave you open to an immediate block -- and I wouldn't want to see that happen to you. -- orthogonal 15:06, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'd like to assume good faith, but it's difficult. User:211.28.227.159 is altering the population figures (and some other stats) of many countries, reverting accurate figures to outdated figures. Doesn't have a talk page . Moriori 20:18, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • I checked his edits and they precisely match 2004 (the most recent) CIA World Factbook. The only exception is New Zealand which you reverted. There he has taken data from an earlier 2003 CIA Factbook, possibly by mistake. I think there is no vandalism here. Andris 21:59, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • OK, fine, but could be urged to give an edit summary when amending an important stat. Also because the stats he gave "precisely match 2004 (the most recent) CIA World Factbook" that doesn't mean they are accurate. CIA Factbook isn't always right. Example, 2004 Factbook has NZ population as 3,993,817 as at July 2004. That was incorrect because it was over four million. How many correct population figures for other countries did he change to innacurate CIA stats? Cheers. Moriori 23:24, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree about New Zealand but the rest of his edits seemed good to me. India's population was larger than the 2002 or 2003 number in the article before, as it should be, since the population is growing there and Russia's number was less, as it should be, given the very low birthrate there.

Adding sneaky vandalism to various pages. I know what to revert on List of unseen characters because it's not the first time he has done it there, but I'm unsure of his other actions. He tends to do some useful work between his vandalism, so his contributions should be checked very thoroughly. --Conti|✉ 13:31, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)

Anyone that does that should have all their edits reverted. We surely don't need that kind of problem to deal with. PhilHibbs 18:29, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
On the contrary: I don't want to swing the axe before I've gotten the whole story, but what it looks like is that this character is not a true vandal but, rather, someone who ignores the concept of NPOV. Referring to the owners of Tom Cat on Tom and Jerry as a 'yuppie couple' is by no means NPOV, and yet they were indeed partially hidden characters. I say we keep a close eye out, but it might be that all User 64.165 etc. needs is a prod in the right direction. -Litefantastic 14:59, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'd like to assume good faith, but it's difficult. User:211.28.227.159 is altering the population figures (and some other stats) of many countries, reverting accurate figures to outdated figures. Doesn't have a talk page . Moriori 20:18, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

  • I checked his edits and they precisely match 2004 (the most recent) CIA World Factbook. The only exception is New Zealand which you reverted. There he has taken data from an earlier 2003 CIA Factbook, possibly by mistake. I think there is no vandalism here. Andris 21:59, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
  • OK, fine, but could be urged to give an edit summary when amending an important stat. Also because the stats he gave "precisely match 2004 (the most recent) CIA World Factbook" that doesn't mean they are accurate. CIA Factbook isn't always right. Example, 2004 Factbook has NZ population as 3,993,817 as at July 2004. That was incorrect because it was over four million. How many correct population figures for other countries did he change to innacurate CIA stats? Cheers. Moriori 23:24, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)
    • I agree about New Zealand but the rest of his edits seemed good to me. India's population was larger than the 2002 or 2003 number in the article before, as it should be, since the population is growing there and Russia's number was less, as it should be, given the very low birthrate there. And I left him a message, asking to give an edit summary.Andris 13:42, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

(User:142.177.41.102 | talk | contributions)
Hard-banned user EntmootsOfTrolls (Craig Hubley) has returned.

Does that mean, like Michael (formerly, at least), that we are to delete/revert everything he does? He's written some lengthy economics articles, what about those? Adam Bishop 20:19, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 66.2.146.112, 66.2.146.47, 66.2.146.138

Same person, defacing User:Get-back-world-respect and vandalising various other articles. Also contributed a copyvio and fictional nonsense. IPs resolve to Internet Allegiance Inc, Dallas, Texas. — Trilobite (Talk) 03:49, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I believe it's the same person as the hard-banned User:Paul Vogel.
It's probably not Vogel—none of these IPs have edited his favorite articles (cosmotheism, classical pantheism, pan-atheism, etc.) and the writing style is different. —No-One Jones 22:24, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 220.244.224.10

Vandalising persuasion technology. Possibly the same user as User:Pop (contribs) who also vandalised that page. Has been warned. Angela. 03:16, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:203.53.110.10

[edit] 213.94.250.128

Looks to me like vandalizing, sometimes subtle. --Glimz 01:17, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 81.131.122.157 and 82.43.74.120

Seems to be the same person, has made four inexpicable removals of whole sections from River Thames. Both IPs resolve to British ISPs (though strangely not the same ones) and the vandalism follows the same pattern. I have posted warnings to both IP talk pages. — Trilobite (Talk) 22:59, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:203.166.96.237

This is apparently a proxy for the public school system in New South Wales. Lots of previous warnings. Latest is a bizarre little substub called Miss keane. - Lucky 6.9 03:53, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:203.10.121.88

  • [User:203.10.121.88]] | [User_talk:203.10.121.88|talk]] Repeat vandalism despite previous warnings on talk page, most recently to Persia reverted by User:tom- - Contributions need to be carefully reviewed. - Triona 23:44, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] StarFucks

Uploading porn which was then used to deface cowgirl, vandalizing Linux. —No-One Jones 23:19, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This user should be blocked for having an offensive username because it contains the word "fuck". I can't block him/her/it because I am not an administrator. --Lst27 23:28, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Has been permanently blocked, until somebody undoes it. RickK 23:46, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 65.27.75.56

Bragging about his vandalism at http://www.frozennorth.org/C2011481421/E652809545/index.html. RickK 21:49, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

  • And seems to be done with it, though his contributions still need watching. —No-One Jones 21:52, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 69.138.229.236

Subtle vandalism, inserting inaccurate or nonsense facts into articles. Some have been caught, others not.

[edit] 12.221.137.162

Keeps blanking sections of Greek mythology. --Slowking Man 23:08, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

  • Should now have been blocked by Grunt. -- The Anome 23:19, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] SilentCrs

User continuously vandalizes GNAA with POV edits - (one isn't vandalism, I know, but multiple times, and reverting after reverting is.) DX 14:28, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Emperor George II

Empire of Atlantium related vandalism, possibly trying to blame Gene Poole by turning his user page and talk page into a redirect to him. cesarb 13:20, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Mrdelayer

  • (User:Mrdelayer | talk | contributions)
    Obnoxious vandalism like uploading pictures and redirecting user pages to Hitler.-- Shibboleth 05:09, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • 3 day ban applied. -- The Anome 14:11, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 152.163.253.100

Inserting (probably) unnecessary links to Paul Buissonneau in other articles. Repeatedly removed {{delete}}, and {{vfd}}, after I listed it. Also blanked the page's Vfd entry. --Slowking Man 03:04, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

It's AOL. The only serious option is to revert all the bad edits. Guanaco 03:15, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ugh, AOL, the bane of the Internet. --Slowking Man 03:17, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 200.45.69.210

Recently changed Ounce and Pound to have incorrect metric equivalent, and on 11th August changed Yard so that that there are 33 inches in a yard. A subtle vandal, this one -- keep an eye on him! -- Arwel 23:45, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 203.54.78.11 and 210.11.188.11

Has been adding nonsense about himself and vandalising pages on Togo and Australia. Has been warned on both ip's. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 10:47, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Linux


[edit] 195.170.0.63

Spamming EDTA, Complex (chemistry), and Citric acid (which I just reverted) PhilHibbs 19:12, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • This IP hasn't edited since May, then made two edits yesterday. For EDTA, new information (addition of copper to the list) came with an external link. The link could be considered spam but does offer additional related information not found in the article. I kept the link, but moved it to External links so the text could link to our article on copper. SWAdair | Talk 08:27, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Vandalised Obesity

[edit] 12.218.226.135

Vandalised Cowboyneal in apparent conjunction with 69.109.126.246


The above are probably slashdotters testing the wiki. Expect more of the same because of this interview with Jimbo Theresa Knott (Nate the Stork) 13:43, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 66.194.217.221

Repeatedly adding rubbish to Invertebrate PhilHibbs 13:03, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Appears to be on "last warning" already PhilHibbs 13:07, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:195.92.198.74, User:195.92.198.75, User:195.92.198.72

Tiny difference in IPs, which suggests one user on dialup to me, and User talk:195.92.198.75 has a comment about similar vandalism. — OwenBlacker 19:56, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

Also probabaly User:195.92.198.72 Talk: similar pages attacked on 12:41, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) Iainscott 12:43, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This user has link-spammed many articles with: *[http://www.geopageslist.com Department of pages] -- Ponder 18:26, 2004 Sep 1 (UTC)

[edit] 207.70.141.194

I've never reported anyone before. 207.70.141.194 just blanked "current events" with a "hello " message and appears to be on final warning on his talk page. MPS 14:14 1 Sep 04 (UTC)

[edit] 207.235.242.9

Repeatedly attacking pages like User:Grunt. This IP is on final warning before a block. --Lst27 17:24, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Repeated attacks on Mark Latham. -- Lacrimosus 11:33, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

newbie turning into vandalizer? Tokyo and Japan pages.--Jondel 04:39, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:64.165.11.16

Adding sneaky vandalism to various pages. I know what to revert on List of unseen characters because it's not the first time he has done it there, but I'm unsure of his other actions. He tends to do some useful work between his vandalism, so his contributions should be checked very thoroughly. --Conti|✉ 13:31, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)

Anyone that does that should have all their edits reverted. We surely don't need that kind of problem to deal with. PhilHibbs 18:29, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
On the contrary: I don't want to swing the axe before I've gotten the whole story, but what it looks like is that this character is not a true vandal but, rather, someone who ignores the concept of NPOV. Referring to the owners of Tom Cat on Tom and Jerry as a 'yuppie couple' is by no means NPOV, and yet they were indeed partially hidden characters. I say we keep a close eye out, but it might be that all User 64.165 etc. needs is a prod in the right direction. -Litefantastic 14:59, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
