More idiocy from the "Lil' John" camp. Nothing but vandalism from this IP stretching back several months. - Lucky 6.9 22:56, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 149.159.112.172

Vandalism of the Abraham Lincoln article, redirecting every link on the page to the article "Abraham Lincoln (poopypants)" which I have taken the liberty of destroying because of material that nearly made me vomit. I have left the pictures it references, Hello.jpg and Big-Black-cock.jpg on the server in case there is a sysop masochistic enough to want to view them. EagleFalconn 19:50, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Ack!!
User "24.198.49.225" (an anon IP) is systematically going through and deleting everything on Wikinews.

Please, someone with Administrative powers stop this vandal!

[edit] 24.64.223.203

  • 24.64.223.203 (talk) (contributions) user has a history of vandalism. In particular, user continually creates articles about "Lil' John" or various spellings and fills them with bogus information. One such article was deleted last week, if I remember correctly. Today, re-created an article called Lil' John which soon got a {{deleteagain}} from another user. Vandal removed the notice, which was then restored. Vandal again removed notice, at which point I restored it and the article was deleted (and then recreated as a redirect to Lil Jon, a bona fide article. I left a message on talk page requesting user discontinue actions. User responded that he thinks it's funny and that he does not plan to stop. User then replaced content of newly-created Lil' John redirect with bogus article; I then reverted it. He then created a new article, Little John, and again placed his bogus content. I do not have time to keep up with him anymore, so I am requesting help. [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 09:57, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • I've got some time to waste, I'll keep an eye on the lot; doing RC patrol anyway. Still, an admin warning followed by 24 block might be in order. --fvw*† 10:07, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)
      • Correction/update: User had not created Little John article, just replaced its contents with his article (didn't want you to think I was inaccurate). Article has been reverted. Thanks fvw; I appreciate it. Judging from the comment on his talk page, guy seems to delight in causing the disruptions.— [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 10:10, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • (AmericanIdiot | talk | contributions) has vandalized several articles; someone has already left a note on their talk page about the inappropriateness of their contributions, although I think they are probably well aware of what they're doing. IMHO a candidate for a block of some variety. Neilc 01:26, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Erginer

  • Erginer (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) has reverted removal of copyvio material from Kurdistan Workers Party without responding to the talk page comments I left. I'm putting this here since I don't plan to revert the article again myself. I left a note on his talk page (including "Repeatedly adding coypright material may get you blocked") I hope you will back me up on that. Note also reversion of reversion to Besiktas Jimlastik Kulubu (hist). N.B. this might be taken as a clueless newbie case, but reverting repeatedly looks like more than that.

Keeps creating DARREN ROCKS and vandalizing Stephen Sondheim (why anyone would pick that entry I do not know). Put a warning on his talk page but the vandalism continues. Probably should get a tempban.

[edit] Ríck K (note not RickK)

I am reporting my self here for the vandalism I am about to commit. I am fed up of the vandals that attack me so I am leaving with an "éxit du destructione". Feel free to ban my account for indefinte, delete all my contributions and revert eveything I fucking done! Ríck K 15:13, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Note that this was originally posted by a vandal, "User:Ríck K" impersonating the real User:RickK, in an attempt at getting the non-vandal user banned. I have put correct tracking links in at the top, replacing those placed there by the vandal. I have also permanently blocked the vandal's account, as per their request, as well as for the vandalism rampage, and for its use for impersonation. -- Karada 15:26, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 84.121.6.92

  • ( 84.121.6.92 | talk) |
  • See contributions for the insidious changes, almost vandalism to Stress, Category:Hygiene and also a Temp page etc. At least 3 of us have already warned and reverted at least some of the changes. This one should be blocked, because the experiments are not getting self-reverted, but are merely left for others to clean up. Ancheta Wis 13:23, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • This user now shows signs of finding their way around Wikipedia, and they are now experimenting with small, good edits. They also seem to be getting a clue about copyright, so I will assume good faith and give them the benefit of the doubt for now. -- Karada 15:49, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I posted a request for an explanation on this user's talk page. See Byzantine Empire (where I posted a note) for a possible explanation of terminology. But I can't find any discussion of this. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 00:50, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 210.50.68.26

including personal attacks against User:Huaiwei; I've only reverted the personal attack.   This user is the same as #210.50.176.14 which also large number of random addresses from iprimus.net.au (see Lee Kuan Yew edit history going back till at least Nov 12.  I'm ready to do an ISP complaint but I'd rather have comments about the proper way to go about it and/or an administrator volunteer to actually do it. Mozzerati
Looking at the wide range of IPs used, it would have to be a ban of 210.50.* in order to be completely effective. That's a much wider range than I would like to block (and I really haven't figured out range blocks yet). Catching IPs as they are used might be effective. I would start by posting warnings and requests for discussion on this user's talk page. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 19:54, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
this is my thought too. I actually think it's worth trying mailing abuse (inthelocationof) iprimus.com.au with details of the vandalism 'cos at least if we eventually did have to ban 210.50.* then we could give a clear explanation that iprimus had their chance and refused to help.

  • Pollution in progress. This user creates lots of empty, or near empty pages, on which he asks for contributions, about non noticeable subjects. Like Weald Sports Centre, Angley School, Swattenden. It all orbits around Cranbrook. See the user talk page: many warnings already. --Gtabary 14:59, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Unknown person has been vandalising the sandbox.
  • How can you vandalise the sandbox?! - Ta bu shi da yu 02:38, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Well, it is possible to vandalize the sandbox. There are some actions which are taboo even in the sandbox. The biggest offense is to delete the sacrosanct DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE, OR YOU MAY BE BLOCKED line from the top. Another howler is to move the sandbox (or, more creatively, to exchange Wikipedia:Sandbox and Sandbox through creative copies and redirects). Or just add a phony vprotected notice. Compared to these, posting goats and sheep is relatively tame, but still frowned upon by a great many admins. The test2 warning, which recommends vandals to use the sandbox for their vandalism seems a tad risky: indeed as it is possible to vandalize the sandbox, the vandal might just point to a test2 warning that he got on his talk page to justify his trawlish behavior... Ympendes 22:35, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The sandbox is intended for that kind of thing, anybody test out wikipedia there without disrupting the articles. --fvw* 02:37, 2004 Nov 26 (UTC)

[edit] 200.250.214.114

  • No serious vandalism but keeps removing VFD notices even after repeatedly being asked not to in comments, edit summaries and on his user page. If some admin could talk a little sense into him it'd be appreciated.
Oh joy, he just VFDed my user page. How flattering. --fvw* 02:08, 2004 Nov 26 (UTC)
I posted two warnings, including an explanation of how VfD works. All warnings were ignored. Blocked for 24 hours. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 02:29, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • That article was previously deleted according to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gurpreet Joshi, so I went ahead and deleted. If it's recreated again, then we might need to think about blocking.

He has not attempted to improve it or work through the issues but rather to aggressively just threaten to keep changing because he does not like certain facts, that are facts, not opinions. I am working with another user of an opposing point of view to try to revise my proposed article amiably and this guy is just being a malicious disruption.

  • The anonymous 208.4.153.208 is now issuing threats. I think a block might be required. Hu - you are asking for legal trouble by continuing to allow the labeling of a large group of people as "heretics" - PRETERISM is a registered U.S. trademark and you continue to allow the mark to be denigrated and allow Dee Dee Warren to create business losses for our organization. Either put a stop to this negative attack on PRETERISM, or remove the definition completely from your website. I am tired of trying to negotiate with you guys and getting nowhere with you.

    • I am not sure that WP:VIP is the correct place for this, but something is fishy here and i frankly don't know where else to list this...these users seem to be a bunch of sockpuppets intent on vote fraud on VfD. Things that make me suspisious:
      • All three users have been editing the same articles and consistently voted on th esame Vfd votes.
      • Dracula the bat states on his User page that the account was set up with the express purpose of voting on Vfd.
      • Forgotmytea created a "User" page called User:Dr Chicken. Such a user does not exist, the name has been used to sign Vfd votes by the above IP address [4]
      • The same IP address also did a number of edits to Dracula the bat's User page [5]
      • Additionally, Dracula the bat added an "anonymous" vote to a Vfd discussion [6] and tried to cover his tracks when I called him on it [7]
    • Now, while this might not be outright vandalism, vote fraud and disruption of the VfD process are serious enough to merit some action. Can anyone look into this? -- Ferkelparade π 14:59, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The usual procedure for dealing with sock puppets on VfD is to point out that they are probably sock puppets. This tends to prevent them from actually accomplishing anything, and why keep doing it if it never helps? If it becomes a serious or recurring problem, then Wikipedia:Dispute resolution is the way to go. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:40, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Hello all,

I would like to say that I take full responsibility for the sock puppet accounts - I am truly sorry about them, and I was not fully aware of the rules at the time. Please accept my humblest apologies in this matter, and I can assure you that since I was informed what I was doing was wrong, I have stopped. As Aranel said, I was informed, and have since stopped. However, I would like to say that I have never vandalised anything on Wikipedia or any site, least of all the paegs named, and I believe this accusation is wrongly leveled. If you look at my user page (Dracula the bat), then it explains what might have happened, but can I please assure you that I have never vandalised anything on here or any other site, especially the pages you have named.

Once again can I say sorry for attempting to modify the voting process, and state once again that I have never vandalised anything on this site, or any other. I only hope that this charge is dropped soon, rather than have me incorrectly branded as a vandal of this wonderful site.

Once again, I am most humbly sorry.

Thank you,

DTB

  • 213.51.209.230 has vandalised Cheesecake four times since Nov 12. Each time adding that cheesecake should be compared with beefcake, or stating that cheesecake is slang for "sexy young women". Needs a warning. - James Foster 01:51, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Thank you James, for your efforts against vandalism. I believe you have over-reacted and not identified the real problem, which was that the picture had been subverted to display the pinup variety of cheesecake, by someone else. It is a fact that for many decades, pinup pictures of "scantily clad" females, to use the hackneyed phrase, have been called "cheesecake". History of Pinup Cheesecake. Since the page has only one word in the title, it will need to either contain disambiguation text or become a disambiguation page that directs to Cheesecake (dessert) and Cheesecake (pinups). Sorry, James, but that is the only approach that makes sense. If an editor dislikes a fact, that is not sufficient reason for not including it. Also, when posting notices on this page, please use the template at the head of this section so that the user's "contributions" are immediately available to us. Hu 04:27, 2004 Nov 21 (UTC)

  • The database did not find the text of a page that it should have found, named "China,oldid=7646760"
Working around this error by manually copying and pasting from the History display isn't working, because my browser doesn't allow text selection in just one column of the difference display, so I would have to copy a line at a time. (Several sections are damaged.)

  • All of these users appear to be connected to the author(s) of the Scott Gall article. To understand where he is coming from, the Scott Gall article says
Scott Gall (October 8, 1988 - present day) is a sport inventor from Dunedin, New Zealand and has many weird codes under his belt. Most of the names are portmanteau words, most of them providing for his country's national sport... One code, which came into his mind when he saw two students who use his bus stop kicking a rugby ball across the road, is called rugbennis, a mixture of rugby and tennis, which he believes to be "sin net" backwards (because it might have been a sin to serve the ball so it touches the net.)
I have the impression that he is fascinated by these "codes" and is attempting to decode them and write articles describing the sports which he believes they ought to represent.
Not sure what if anything ought to be done, other than listing the articles on VfD when appropriate. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:21, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • (163.1.141.7 | talk | contributions) - has been active on Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Ruzwana_Bashir, they blanked this twice. The first time they blanked it [10] and started the VfD again, this could be seen as a good faith mistake. They then blanked it again [11], even though they knew not to do this. They also blanked the talk page of Ruzwana Bashir [12]. They also cleared their talk page, though this is not such a bad thing it seems they are trying to clear their tracks [13]. User has also engaged in personal attacks and legal threats [14] (they wrote "The second earliest edit of the entry includes offensive and slanderous content. Although it was reverted, it remains in the history, and is libellous. 163.1.141.7 06:07, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)"). I would say all these things are vandalism of Wikipedia. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:33, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • When I restarted VfD I thought it would be more appropriate to start afresh rather than having the lengthy previous history clogging up the main VfD page, and EXPLICITLY said to look in the history for the previous VfD discussion. I cleared the VfD page because the warning "WARNING: This page is 39 kilobytes long. Please consider condensing the page and moving the detail to another article so it is not approaching or in excess of 32KB." came up, something that has not been taken into consideration by anyone. In clearing my own Talk page I said that I had taken all the comments into consideration and wished to clear it. My "personal attack" was at someone I attempted to help by providing a link to a topic they were unsure of and received a thankless reply. This does not amount to vandalism, and I won't be posting on this site again anyway. 163.1.141.7 00:36, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Just because it is documented doesn't make it fact. Quote from original scriptures, not some persons view on a subject.
  • See [16] for a long list of his activity
Yes, please have a look and tell me if any of the contributions are factually incorrect. Also have a look at the history of OneGuy and Azaidi for proof they are anything but having a NPOV.

[edit] Racial hygiene (article)

  • User:69.194.208.35 is vandalizing, but I do not know how to revert! (grumble!) [[PaulinSaudi 14:43, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)]]

[edit] 66.210.50.50

  • Vandalised Thomas Aquinas, has vandalised a lot in the past few months. IP is from Concordia University, Atlanta, GA. PhilHibbs 13:35, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Images by User:Cheung1303

  • Despite repeated complaints (for more than a month) on his Talk page, Cheung1303 is repeatedly uploading images without indicating where he got them. In many cases the images are clearly copyrighted. I count at least four such images in the last two days. He has been repeatedly warned on his talk page that if he continues to upload images without indicating their source it would be considered vandalism. —Steven G. Johnson 01:59, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
(I went through his contributions history, and found literally dozens, possibly more than 100, images that had to be tagged as unverified.) —Steven G. Johnson

[edit] Joseph Cook (article)

  • An anonymous idiot called 203.10.110.145 has repeatedly vandalised this article. Adam 04:09, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • {{test}} message left on talk page. SWAdair | Talk 05:57, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • On whose talk page? Adam 07:31, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • The anon was not "experimenting," he was repeatedly vandalising the article. I have left a more useful warning. Adam 09:40, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • They know they are vandalizing, no need to wear baby gloves. I blocked 203.10.110.142, 203.10.110.144, 203.10.110.145 for a week. Thue | talk 10:48, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Gentlemen/ladies. I was under the impression that we first warn, then block if warnings are not heeded! Please clarify. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:22, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Yes, it does say in the policy to warn first :/. I blocked because this was very blatant vandalism over some time, in my head the warning is to one time offenders or people who do "test" type vandalism. But in any case warnings are nice, make them appreciate that they are being watched. Thue | talk 16:45, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] George W. Bush (article) - images

  • Although the article itself is protected, vandals are getting around this by replacing images with crud. Please keep an eye on this and protect images where necessary. -- ChrisO 00:34, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The vandals have hit more images, so I've taken the step of pre-emptively protecting all of the remaining unprotected images on that page to close any loopholes. All of the content on George W. Bush should now be protected. -- ChrisO 17:46, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism rampage by various IPs

    • Seems to have gone away; vandalism is reverted. Thue | talk 20:52, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 212.219.232.91

  • (212.219.232.91 | talk | contributions) created two nonsense articles, removed nonsense tag with silly explanation, then vandalized its vfd subpage, while User:Spewman removed the VFD tag on the article. @#$% kids.
    • Seems to have gone away for now. Thue | talk 20:54, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 213.232.79.239

  • Deleted the whole article of countries involved in the WWII. I suggest his IP to be blocked. --Pinnecco 10:43, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Three edits today and a couple of much older ones, seemingly all randomly adding/changing words.07:18, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Warned on talk page. Thue | talk 21:06, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 205.188.117.6

  • Just noticed scrawl on Vector_space, user has some history of vandalising other pages. Probably nothing too serious, but just in case. Seems to be tagging edits using not implausible names? Jogloran 04:10, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Warning added to talk page. Thue | talk 20:46, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 216.94.251.19

  • Nothing serious yet, but keeps reverting Aaron core to remove speedy deletion tag. JRM 00:23, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)
  • Actually, it's getting annoying. He/she's recreated the article after being deleted, and again reverting speedy tags. JRM 00:40, 2004 Nov 3 (UTC)

[edit] Ferkeplarade

  • This username has very obviously been registered in an attempt to impersonate me and vandalize Template:vprotected. In a strange way, I feel flattered (didn't know I was so well-known around here :P), but I don't think this behavior should be encouraged in any way. -- Ferkelparade π 23:35, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Blocked. Thue | talk 00:10, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 202.5.161.90

  • All contributions so far are vandalisms. Reverted patent nonsense Malaka seconds after I tagged it for speedy deletion, but that might be a simple parallel edit. No warnings yet. JRM 23:19, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)
  • The latests edits look ok, though I am not an expert on Orgy (band). Warned on talk page. Thue | talk 21:11, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Electoral_map450.jpg

  • Because of cache problems, I cannot tell who is putting the POV slogan on the image, but it needs to be frozen on the clean version. Too many people are trying to re-re-revert it causing problems. --Henrygb 23:09, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:MrCopy and User:Mr Copy

  • vandalizing Template:Current. Blocked for a week, but I am more willing to bet it will come back than putting money on any of the candidates. – Kaihsu 21:35, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)

[edit] 203.23.253.10

  • 203.23.253.10 began vandalizing Genghis Khan again today and started vandalizing 2004 Osama bin Laden video. This guy went on a vandalizing spree on Genghis Khan on October 26, and made some more edits on Oct 28 (see below). Has been repeatedly warned — perhaps this IP should be blocked indefinitely. Mateo SA | talk Mateo SA 06:39, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • indefinite block sounds good to me; he has made lots of vandalism over a long time, and the IP seems to be static. No need for us to tolerate him. Blocked. Thue | talk 08:55, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Also keep an eye on User:Hobo bogon shangri lah, who seem to be connected those IPs but haven't really done anything yet. Thue | talk 08:49, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I just got a threat at User talk:203.23.253.159: §hangri-lah and his geek hacker friends will dis ur site and will not care because their isp is shit and wont care. They will call in favours and ur site will b stuffed, even all the admin files will b deleted 2 keep the ip unbloked. Posted by special:contributions/210.49.83.9. Thue | talk 11:57, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • (210.49.83.9 | talk | contributions) also vandalized this entry, putting up a false notice that 203.23.253.10 had been unblocked (but 210.49.83.9 has now been blocked as well, however). — Mateo SA | talk 03:13, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 61.68.139.60

  • Created user pages for the IPs 203.23.253.10 and 203.23.253.159, replacing the standard notice with vandalism. Those two addresses earlier vandalized Genghis Khan (see below). Mateo SA | talk 06:18, Nov 2, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ciz

  • Ciz is repeatedly vandalising Talk:Zoophilia. Initially vandalised article page on which NPOV consensus had been broadly reached, article was reverted 6 times, then locked, switched to ranting, name calling and smearing despite requests by 2 sysops to refrain, an RFC was requested to attempt to respect his POVs. Has now resumed vandalism in Talk page instead. Main grudge seems to be that this is a page on social, psychological, legal aspects etc, he wishes it to be an animal abuse page and anyone not agreeing is an animal abuser. Direct link to Nov 2 2004 renewed vandalism: [[17]] showing deletion of other people's prior contributions.
