172.166.77.131 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) has vandalized this page and others.

[edit] Unknown IP

An as yet unidentified user is probably unintentionally vandalising Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Often I see it has had sections duplicated, added, removed or moved around. Can an admin please investigate and warn the user responsible? Nicholas 15:34, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Are you sure it's a vandal? The has been under very heavy editing for some time now. Mistakes are easy to make while resolving edit conflicts. --fvw* 16:00, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)

[edit] 82.139.65.138

  • (82.139.65.138 | talk | contributions) Is making repeated and extremely NPOV edits to articles (and images) relating to Nagorno-Karabakh. Has also just blanked LittleDan's user page. -- Smoddy | Talk 23:39, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • And vandalized another user page and other articles. I've reverted all that hadn't already been caught. Duly warned. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:48, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 203.128.5.110

  • Vicious racist stuff in Pashtun and elsewhere. Apparently not the only person at this IP, because there have been decent edits in the past. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:47, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Which decent edits are these? The addition to the gay/lesbian list seems to be spurioous -- there's no mention anywhere on the web of a person by this name (last April); another is just a cut and paste from [[1]]. Bad'un. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:02, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 24.7.179.169

  • This user vandalize with Poland related articles.--Emax 22:25, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 68.78.135.106

  • User continues to vandalize the Neowin Entry, Reverting to the vandalized version after Its been reverted to the correct version, have requested this page is protected for now, mainly because 68.78.135.106 is not the only vandal on this page, due to the article being posted on the neowin forums, to which forum readers are taking great delight in vandlising the said page.----
  • Blocked for 24 hours for violation of the 3RR. It looks to me that some of the anons have made useful edits to the article, so I'm not sure if protecting it is a good idea.-gadfium 03:08, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • ( 65.202.185.20 | talk | contributions)
    • Created a nonsense article called "Gooberhead". The only content is "See Misty", so it seems to be a personal attack of some kind. Oklonia 22:50, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • Looks like a newbie test, not vandalism. I've speedy deleted it, and put a welcome message on the user's talk page.-gadfium 23:02, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 71.0.32.99

  • ( 71.0.32.99 | talk | contributions)
    • Made a nonsense page called "Derek allen" and it just says "is here". Oklonia 23:07, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
      • This appears to be just another newbie test. Please read Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers. The appropriate thing to do in this case is to put a {{del}} on the page they've created, and to put a friendly message on their talk page. {{test}} is the standard friendly message, but feel free to write your own if you want to.-gadfium 23:15, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

    • Keeps vandalizing articles related to Donkey Kong. I've warned him twice so far but it doesn't look like he's stopping. If he continues I'm going to temp block. PMC 23:07, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 66.11.165.56

  • Created hoax article Rob McRae, and has propagated the hoax information to Ken Jennings, Jeopardy!, 1962 and December 20. Has so far twice deleted the Vfd header on the Rob McRae article. 172.172.35.229 22:43, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Emax

  • Vandalizing and violating 3RR on the article Battle of Orsha. This user is repeatedly deleting large amounts of properly referenced material without discussion or explanation. Please help. --Ghirlandajo
I'm only remove your funny "soviet history" edits. P.S. you reverted 4 times today.--Emax 19:15, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I didn't revert but added new info 2 out of 4 times. I posted much new material putting the article into a historical perspective (from the Battle of Vedrosha to the peace treaty ending the war). I also corrected spelling and factual mistakes, as well as pointed to the lack of reliability in this russophobic article. You have added nothing, just keep deleting all additions and corrections wholesale. ----Ghirlandajo
I've warned both Emax and Ghirlandajo about the 3RR. I'll block either of them if they revert again within 24 hours of 3 previous reverts.-gadfium 21:07, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 202.83.33.45

The only thing this user is doing is adding links to his own website ("technotip.com") , a site which seems to be composed entirely of content ripped directly from other pages - this is probably to get google ad revenue. Ground

[edit] 83.17.51.138

[edit] 64.18.111.141

[edit] 63.229.217.138

  • This user has been adding dubious content to the Kraftwerk and the Nico Demonte articles. He's using those pages to promote himself, and even after being warned several times and having his edits reverted, he won't give up, and keeps readding that info. I already posted an entry at Clueless newbies, but it was of no use (I kept it there, in case someone would like to check it). I told him I'd move that to Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress if he kept doing that. He didn't stop, so I guess this can be seen as vandalism now.
Any actions will be appreciated. Thank you. – Kaonashi 02:58, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Only one edit since your last warning. I think he didn't read your warning until after that edit. Please report future vandalism, but I think we could leave it for now. Mgm|(talk) 09:28, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • He added the junk back on Nico Demonte, on 10:00, 20 Dec 2004. Protecting Nico Demonte. I already protected Kraftwerk. If he does it again on a different article, I'd say it is enough to block him for awhile. -- AllyUnion (talk) 20:22, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm moving this entry from December 20 to today in order to inform that I have blocked that user for three days, since he started doing the same he had done before to some of those articles. Some of those edits are not necessarily harmful, but the addition of copyrighted content to the Nico Demonte article called for an action, specially since he has been warned countless times already about what shouldn't be done on Wikipedia (see talk page).--Kaonashi 04:16, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 24.225.129.138

[edit] 143.50.61.66

  • ( 143.50.61.66 | 143.50.61.66 | contributions) Repeat vandal by content removal, and sneaky vandalism (see below for Dec. 14th and 17th reports). Has been warned in numerous occasions via e-mail and Blog. He should be blocked.--Afshar 14:17, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 220.245.194.103

  • Vandalised content by introducing incorrect telephone numbers and information to topic "2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_in_India". I am newto Wikipedia, please advise, I like to keep the content squeaky clean.

Jesus spammer, again

[edit] 68.21.182.128

  • 68.21.182.128 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) is another jesusspammer, he just did this page. --fvw* 03:07, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)
    • It's pretty much the same guy, and since it's a dynamic IP, it's hard to seize him. Maybe a range block?--Kaonashi 03:12, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Proudly vandalising this page, again with religious slogans and picture. --Henrygb 02:02, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 66.74.128.162

  • 66.74.128.162 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) is spamming city article with links to some kind of directory site that has virtually no local information. I posted a note on user's 'talk' page, but I doubt it will be noticed. I can't tell is this is commercial or not - but I presume it is. -Willmcw 23:11, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bobchalk

  • Insists on splitting up the article 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake despite opposition from multiple other posters and support from no one but himself. This is a current-news article, and so cannot be temporarily frozen from editing. He persists in conducting a single-handed edit war, and should perhaps be blocked. -- Curps 22:40, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Not sure if this should count as vandalism, but conversely not that useful either. Would appreciate another's view. --Vamp:Willow 17:54, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • I sampled the user's contributions, and the articles seemed to give some indication of the subject's notability (awards, box office success). They could use NPOVing, though. Gazpacho 22:27, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Christmas Willy on Wheels

Actually moved VfD to Merry Christmas from the Willy on Wheels! and wreaked total havoc on my watchlist (and others, I presume). Merry Christmas to you too, Willy. Here's to hoping you'll celebrate the rest without Wikipedia... JRM 00:49, 2004 Dec 25 (UTC)
User:195.188.152.14 may be the same person. -Aranel ("Sarah") 01:17, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • I and others mistook User:Goplat for a vandal as he/she tried to fix this damage. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:45, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
The difference between a page move and a new redirect is that a page move will include the text "X moved to Y". Both will be labelled as "new" and the new redirect page will have an empty history. If the page move makes the title better (i.e. it doesn't include "Willy"), it was probably someone fixing a move. (We can learn from this! In case it happens again...) -Aranel ("Sarah") 01:50, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] whsipertome

  • User whispertome is reverting edits in India, refuses to back up his claims my edit is an opinion. Claims I'm NPOV for adding anything other than data. I feel this is vandalism, wiki articles are very often present things backe dup by facts, these are not opinions. GregNorc (talk)
Frivolous - It's been explained that it's POV. I stopped reverting after the second rv and I entered talk, but you posted it anyway. This isn't gonna last. WhisperToMe 20:08, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You really should see about some more proper Dispute Resolution for this; the usual article revert/graffiti removal/page protection people which prowl this page really don't deal with this stuff. Even the ones with Admin power probably wouldn't dare touch the issue on their own. This needs a comittee to look at it, look at the evidence behind it, and make a decision. Sockatume 21:31, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

If someone accuses someone else of being a sockpuppet of you, or a sockpuppet of one of the folk you're accused being a sockpuppet of, then please try to come up with a better way to resolve the dispute than multiple posts here.

[edit] User:Nasrallah aka User:Viriditas

  • User:Nasrallah | talk | contributions). Vandalized my User page with an incorrect sockpuppet alert. [16]. According to Wikipedia sockpuppet rules such tags should only be placed on a User page if "the account has been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by either:
  • the user's own admission
  • matching of IP addresses

The above text should not be added in the cases of accusations of sockpuppetry which have not been proven." User:Nasrallah is a sockpuppet of User:Viriditas who maintains a pseudo-scientific sockpuppet directory User:Viriditas/wikipuppets that he uses to issue constantly changing stream of accusations of sockpuppetry based on identity mis-matching. His last edit on the directory (about me) was at 02:04, 22 Dec 2004 [17]. Subsequently, he logged in as User:Nasrallah and vandalized my User page two minutes later at 02:06, 22 Dec 2004 [18]. Both sockpuppet User:Nasrallah and owner User:Viriditas should be blocked for User page vandalism. --Wiesenthaler 03:23, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You added a comment to your own user page [19]stating that you are a sockpuppet. Therefore, you have "been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by... the user's own admission", surely? Sockatume 04:02, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Addenum: you do realise the irony of this request, don't you? You say that they labelled you as a sockpuppet with inappropriate evidence. You are calling for a ban because one's a sockpuppet of the other... also with zero evidence. Seeing as so many related users are caught up in this nonsense (Nasrallah, Viriditas, Wiesenthaler...), I suggest that some sort of higher-level arbitration is needed on the entire situation. Sockatume 04:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I admit to being a sockpuppet. That is not the problem and there's nothing wrong with being a sockpuppet. I did not vandalize anyone's User page despite three arrogant and abusive editors doing it to me in the past two days (in addition to reverting all my edits - without just cause). The Wikipedia rule states that the tag User:Viriditas placed on my User page should not be placed on the User page unless the sockpuppet has been shown unambiguously to be linked to a specific User by either self-admission or IP address. User:Viriditas vandalized my User page without either condition being met. He insists on playing sockpuppet detective and trying to link me to other Users so that he can convince sysops to block me for violating the three revert rule - when I have never done so. Today he added the accusation linking me to User:Alberuni. Yesterday, he accused me of being User:Goldberg, User:HistoryBuffEr and User:195.7.55.146. Yesterday, I was wrongly accused of being Goldberg's sockpuppet and improperly threatened with a block by a sysop who lacked evidence but pursued a similar line of abuse and cupidity as User:Viriditas. Tomorrow, who knows what form of abuse they will devise? --Wiesenthaler 04:27, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Ah, I see, I suppose there are plenty of reasons for somebody to set up a sockpuppet, anonymity for example, without there being a need for you to be marked out. Anyway, as I say, it's worth getting a committee of the Higher Ups in to sort things out, as I'm tired of seeing this "situation" popping up on WP:VIP. Frankly I'm pretty tired of people taking potshots at eachother and claiming everyone they disagree with are sockpuppets/are part of this or that generic ideological group/are breaking the 3-revert rule. I'd say that, if people are accusing eachother of breaking the 3-revert rule, it's time to protect the article and get in the Arbitrators. Sockatume 04:42, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Attention by higher-ups is fine by me but there is no question User:Nasrallah vandalized my User page and therefore he and his IP should be blocked. --Wiesenthaler 05:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Frankly, your edit afterwards suggesting a job opportunity reflects poorly on your judgment. Please take these petty disputes off the page; we've more serious things to worry about. Mackensen (talk) 05:24, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You have more serious issues to worry about than User page vandalism? Like what? There have been no other entries of vandalism in progress on this page for over two hours. Perhaps if you took action against any of the three aggressive editors who violated Wikipedia rules by vandalizing my User page in the past two days you wouldn't have to waste your time writing your opinions about what I have a right to put on my User page. --Wiesenthaler 05:34, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Wiesenthaler, you admit to being a sockpuppet. Notices can be posted if the account has been unambiguously shown to be a sock puppet of the user by either:
  • the user's own admission
  • matching of IP addresses

Therefore, placing a sockpuppet notice on your user page isn't vandalism. If User:Viriditas placed the notice "before either condition was met", he could still have matched IPs without your knowledge. If you disagree with that decision, just ask comments instead of attacking whoever is placing them and be sure to include proof of why User:Nasrallah should be a sockpuppet. Mgm|(talk) 09:42, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

How do you propose that User:Nasrallah/User:Viriditas matched IP addresses without my knowledge? Is secret evidence now accepted to make baseless accusations and vandalize User pages? I don't think so. --Wiesenthaler 16:16, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Don't report it per se, but go to Wikipedia:Requests for comment and list the page. This will get other editors' attention, and people will start to look at the page and contribute their input. This will hopefully allow people to come up with a compromise and stop the edit war. If that doesn't seem to help, if the battle is between just two editors, try to reason things out with the editor on the talk page. Then try Wikipedia:Requests for mediation. If that doesn't work, well you can try and put more load on the already overworked arbitrators, but that process takes ages. Samboy 15:13, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wiesenthaler claims SlimVirgin and I have vandalised his user page.

Wiesenthaler, stop the histrionics. I placed my question on your User page in error, and have now moved it to your Talk page. My apologies for that mistake.

[edit] User:Wiesenthaler

Mindlessly reverting Yasser Arafat, AIPAC, and making up derogatory terms for List of ethnic slurs. A sockpuppet of User:Goldberg, who is a sockpuppet himself. Has exceeded 3 reverts on the articles and should be blocked. Jewbacca 04:36, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Please, could an admin help out with this issue? User:Wiesenthaler, who also seems to be User:Goldberg, is adding anti-Semitic material to pages, including his own Talk page, where he's written "I like (k)ike." He's also adding anti-Semitic material to List of ethnic slurs and has deleted material from Yasser Arafat several times today. Other editors are in danger of violating 3RR in an effort to get rid of his vandalism. His edits can be seen here. Many thanks, Slim 05:04, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
See his comment at the bottom of Talk:List of ethnic slurs:
This page is an equal opportunity slur festival, in case he missed the point. All races and ethnicities are subject to slurs equally here. Jews don't get a free ride by whining about anti-semitism, at least not on this page. --Wiesenthaler 04:33, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Your position is utterly absurd. How could possibly think that using anti-semitic slurs while vandalizing articles and acting as a sock puppet is even remotely acceptable? Carrp 05:11, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I have not vandalized articles. The anti-semitic slurs I edited on the page entitled List of ethnic slurs are completely legitimate. Sockpuppets in and of themselves are not a violation of any rules. Do you need any more help finding answers today? --Wiesenthaler 06:51, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You are the one mindlessly reverting pages Jewbacca. In any case, making reversions and reasonable edits is not vandalism. As for the List of ethnic slurs, all of them I made are completely valid. See [26]. If you have a complaint, take it to the Talk page. This attempt to block a user for making edits you do not like is just an abuse of Wikipedia process. Did you really attend Stanford? --Wiesenthaler 04:43, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's funny how a "non-sockpuppet" who made his FIRST edit today is familiar with this page. Jewbacca 04:45, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
There's no law against sock-puppets. There is a rule against misusing sock-puppets to evade the three revert rule or other deceptions. I never claimed to be new. But I'm not Goldberg as you have maliciously accused me (in violation of Wikipedia civility rules). Finding this page was easy. Just followed your trail. [27] --Wiesenthaler 04:54, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I do not have to be civil to someone who proudly adds anti-Jewish terms to List of ethnic slurs and uses anti-semitic slurs on his own user page. "I like (k)Ike!", where kike is a derogatory term for Jew. Jewbacca 04:57, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
You don't like my edits s you think you have a right to violate Wikipedia rules? Instead of exempting yourself from Wikipedia rules and norms, why not just exempt yourself from Wikipedia? --Wiesenthaler 05:04, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Reinserting this entry after Wiesenthaler vandalized this page by removing it Jewbacca 05:14, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Notice abusive edit summary on this page's history from Wiesenthaler: "I like (k)Ike" is a term of endearment, like "you're my #1 nigger" Jewbacca 05:16, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

  • One does not have to look carefully at Wiesenthaler's wonderful new ethnic slurs to recognize his disingenuousness here. Examples:
    • ZOG – U.S., Jews. Refers to Zionist Occupied Government, the Jews' influence over US politicians.
    • Zionist – U.S., Europe, South America, for a Jew. Refers to most Jews' political goal of colonizing Palestine.
    • Nickel nose – U.S., a jew. Refers to facial characteristics and money-centered nature.
    • German candle – U.S., Jew. Refers to incinerated Jews in World War II.
    • German oven mitt – U.S., Refers to incinerated Jews in World War II.
  • This isn't editing an encyclopedia; this is inserting explicit anti-Semitic sentiments. My conclusion is that Wiesenthaler is what Jewbacca says he is: a vandal. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:10, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Maybe you should delete the page if you don't want anti-semitic slurs in the encyclopedia. I don't see you complaining about the anti-black, anti-arab, anti-italian, or anti-chinese slurs. Thisis the source. Maybe you should sue them too. [28]. --Wiesenthaler 06:17, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • Nope. It's not the anti-Semitic slurs -- it's the definitions of them. "Money-centered nature"? "Most Jews' political goal"? Good try, but you're not fooling anyone. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:35, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
It's all in the source, if you bothered to check [[29].
  • "7.06 Zionist: Jews are typically Zionist in political nature. The ultimate goal being to take over Palestine. Also: Zog",
  • "Gargamel Jews Refers to greedy, money centered nature of Jews. Reference from Smurfs cartoon."
Where is your outrage over any of the other slurs except for Jewish slurs? You are fooling no one. --Wiesenthaler 06:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Who cares where you're copying the garbage from? It's still garbage, much of it made up solely for the purpose of putting it on that list or a similar one. "German oven mitt" indeed. At any rate, my outrage is irrelevant. Show me some other entries on the list which have definitions that are, in themselves, ethnic slurs (as opposed to descriptions of them.) If your entries said, for example, "Nickel nose: Refers to stereotype of facial characteristics", it would be clear that you were not attempting simply to try to get away with your anti-semitic utterances, but rather were legitimately expanding the article in question. Such appears not to be the case. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:56, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Who cares about sources? Indeed. You are quite the encyclopedist. Show you some other entries that are themselves ethnic slurs? Take your pick from any letter of the alphabet. EuroNazi – U.S., Europeans, referring to Europe's history of dictators, communists, nazis, and imperialism

  • Good demonstration. Perhaps you're right; those also don't belong in an encyclopedia. The way to deal with that, however, is not by adding more garbage; it's by removing the garbage which is there. Feel free to do so, if you are so inclined. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 07:43, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Agree, the best way to deal with racist non-encyclopedic crap is to remove it, not to add to it. A little bit crazy, but hey, that's what I'm here for. FWIW, I've not heard many people in the UK use "Zionist" as a synonym for "Jew", except to make some tired political comment. Sockatume 06:03, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
These oh so politically correct sentiments are just window dressing for what is really just very common bias and censorship in Wikipedia. No one listed the slur page for VfD, did they? None of these moralistic self-serving Jewish editors lifted a finger to delete a single slur against anyone but Jews, did they? But when I added the slurs against Jews to this long list collection of pejorative terms for every other race and ethnicity - oh look out! I am accused of being anti-semitic. My edits are reverted. A complaint of vandalism is lodged against me. I am hounded and harassed. --Wiesenthaler 06:25, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
        • Actually, you're wrong. The page was listed for VfD a few months ago. It was voted to "keep", but most of the "keeps" indicated the page needed serious cleanup. It wasn't cleaned up. It's on VfD again, and you've made an excellent case for removing it.--jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 08:23, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 143.50.61.66

(143.50.61.66 | talk | contributions) His vandalism was reported on Dec. 14. His IP is: 143.50.61.66. He keeps posting non-published personal views which I have refuted at my personal weblog. It is unacceptable that a non-specialist administrator like (Hadal | talk | contributions) (who is not a physicist!) would revert my editing back to this individual's diatribe. I do not have the time nor the energy to correct this person's vandalism and misinformation being publicized by tacking himslef onto popular pages discussing my work i.e. the Afshar Experiment. I have already told him by e-mail that he can put his comments in the discussion section and we will have a go at it, but that he should not go directly to the main page without a published reference for his arguments. We did this with (Lumidek | talk | contributions) and the results have been satisfactory to both sides. I request that 143.50.61.66 be immediately blocked for Sneaky Vandalism.- Prof. Afshar 14:38, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Um, so you're listing me along with a supposed vandal because I reverted an unexplained deletion? I saw an IP remove an entire section of (seemingly valid) material without justification; you could have used an edit summary to explain your actions. I've noticed that, judging by IP similarity, it would appear you've been editing double-slit experiment for quite some time, and from the edit history, I'm not the first person to revert your changes (e.g. here). I'm sorry for intruding on your pet article, but please understand that adding one point of view to an article is not vandalism. This page is not for listing content disputes, which is what I'd call the tiff between you and 143.50.61.66. As for what's "acceptable": Anyone can revert anyone's edits, and your edits have no priority over the edits of others. -- Hadal 20:28, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Dear Hadal, I did not intend to put you in the same category as the vandal. I understand why you felt your action was justified, but the issues being discussed are very weighty matters in the physics world, and it is not easy for non-experts to point out a logical vs. nonsensical arguments. Besides, I have no quarrel with the Vandal posting his arguments in the discussion section, where I will accordingly respond. It is just that it is not professional to put out disinformation on a popular page without going through the discussion page first. Until he has either published his arguments, or gone trhough the discussion process 143.50.61.66 should not be allowed to reduce the quality of the main pages. Prof. Afshar 15:46, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • This is not vandalism. This is a disagreement. You can have your dispute on the talk page; you can enter a request for comment; there are various ways to deal with this. But it's not vandalism. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:38, 18 Dec

2004 (UTC)

What would you call this [Sneaky Vandalism]? The red words on the left are his "objective" contributions! Also, please take a look at his history of content removals. This inexcusable behavior on a serious topic at the heart of Quantum Mechanics must stop. I am new to Wikipedia, and would appreciate your help with this individual. As I said, I have no problem with a discussion on the discussion page, but he should not be allowed to devalue the contents of the main pages by his juvenile antics.-- Prof. Afshar 20:35, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I agree that the addition in question is not vandalism. However, I think this addition violates a couple of items from what Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is not a soap box (item 3) nor is it Primary research (item 9). I think we are encountering a fundamental problem with Wikipedia here: We do not differentiate between a well-renowned physicist and any 'ole yahoo on the net who posts something anonymously; there seems to be this idea that a well renowned physicist's point of view about advanced physics holds no more weight that some yahoo on the net who barely passed physics at community college. This is, well, wrong (and one of my objections to young earth creationism; YEC can only exist in a world where some small-town preacher who has never taken a geology course can somehow know more about geology than all the well renowned geologists). If you want real scientists doing articles about the science they know well here on Wikipedia, there should be some consensus that their ideas (in their area of expertise) hold more weight than someone who won't even give us their name.

I can only imagine he hoped that if we went to block him, we'd block the wrong person. I'm not sure what needs to be done about all this, but the trying to change the comments and the mention of his IP address prompted me to mention it here. DreamGuy 02:03, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] wiki originated attack

On 12/13/2004 between 12:33 and 12:55 pm, my firewall software detected an attack from 207.142.131.245 www03.wikimedia.org, the nature of the attack was "Microsoft Multiple Application/OS GDI+ JPEG Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attempt detected". I've never had any dealings with wikimedia, but my understand is that it is closely associated with wikipedia. Please investigate a possible virus, or malicious administrator at your site.--Silverback 12:06, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

It looks to me like someone may have uploaded a JPEG containing the GDI+ buffer exploit. Although it could be a false alarm. Can I ask the following questions to clarify... Were you viewing a wikipedia page at the time of the warning? Did the page contain images? What is your OS? What is your firewall? -- FirstPrinciples 22:23, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Goldberg

If you do not agree with his edits you should go through dispute resolution. Goldberg has not broken the 3RR as far as I can determine. And his edits are not blatant vandalism. If I'm wrong, please provide links to diffs for further examination. Mgm|(talk) 10:47, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
Goldberg vandalized my User page and personally attacked me [48]; Goldberg also personally attacked me twice on Talk:Yasser Arafat, in what could be construed as vandalism of the talk page. [49] [50]. --Viriditas | Talk 15:21, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:Vandalism:
Bullying or stubbornness Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them on an article's talk page, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is a matter of regret—you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, it is not vandalism.
Harassing or making personal attacks We have a clear policy on Wikipedia of no personal attacks, and harassing other contributors is not allowed. Some forms of harassment are also clear cases vandalism, such as home page vandalism. However, harassment is not in general vandalism.
Goldberg obviously has problems with your reverts and calls you names for it. It's unfortunate, but not vandalism. Go through the proper dispute resolution procedures, and I'm sure this can be resolved. Good luck! Mgm|(talk) 19:44, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

It was an abusive edit summary, but the revert does not qualify as vandalism. Jewbacca 02:52, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
Interesting, see who is defending pals in socks. HistoryBuffEr 03:42, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)
A revert of your version on an article that has seen your version reverted dozens of times is not vandalism. Jewbacca 04:07, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
Looks like a rather petty argument, in my opinion. If you want to see real jihadipedia, check out Islam, Qur'an and the things linked in there.

[edit] Gzornenplatz has violated arbitration injunction

Trusted administrators,
I apologize for placing this here, but do not know where else to report a violation of an arbitration injunction.
I need to inform you that User:Gzornenplatz has violated the section of the injunction against him (and other editors) that states "Gzornenplatz, Kevin Baas, Shorne, and VeryVerily are banned from reverting any article more than twice in one 24 hour period whilst Arbitration is on-going. Sysops are hereby authorised to enact 24 blocks for violations of this." Gzornenplats has violated this rule, reverting a page three times in 24 hours here: revert one, revert two, and revert three
Please ban User:Gzornenplatz for 24 hours for violating this injunction.
Once the arbitration case is closed and Gzornenplatz is banned for at least two months, we hopefully will not have to deal with this again. Samboy 23:14, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Samboy -- Perhaps G'platz has violated the injunction, but you've violated the 3RR in the same article. Perhaps you should both be blocked? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 23:24, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I hadn't realized that about the 3RR page. Since that is the consensus, I'll go along with it, of course, but I still think this is an inappropriate page for 3RR requests. Maybe we should create a separate page for those requests. — Mateo SA | talk 05:36, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Goldberg

  • (User:Goldberg | talk | contributions)
    • This is a sockpuppet (along with FamilyFord car4less) whose only edits are attempts to get around the 3-revert-rule and continue efforts to force wholesale replacement of the Yasser Arafat article with an article rewrite by User:HistoryBuffEr. HistoryBuffEr has been in revert wars on the Yasser Arafat page attempting to replace the article with his personal version for three months, wiping out many other editors' work, and refusing to engage in discussion on the Talk page. There is an ongoing arbitration case concerning HistorBuffEr for this [62]. Meanwhile, all of Goldberg's edits have been reverts to HistoryBuffEr's previous wholesale rewrite versions, usually after HistoryBuffEr has exhausted 3 reverts. Here is Goldberg's latest revert to HistoryBuffEr's version [63]. Notice that Goldberg is reverting to a copy of HistoryBuffEr's wholesale replacement from 4 days earlier [64]. Also, please note that "Goldberg"'s claim to be replacing the "anti-semite version" is a sham, since he's replacing the same version HistoryBuffEr claims is "pro-Zionist". This Goldberg sockpuppet should be permanently banned; its creation by whoever created it was purely to cause disruption. --MPerel 19:59, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 61.145.206.xxx and 61.45.207.xxx, the "Guangzhou spammer"

  • ( 61.145.206.133 | talk | contributions) The "Guangzhou spammer." Usually he hits the Jew article. He's in a database of known massive internet spammers [68], for example, and uses a variety of IPs closely related within the range 61.145.206.xxx through 61.145.207.xxx. I suspect he adds massive spam to the Jew article because the article has a high Google ranking, and he wants to increase the Google ranking of his pages. He has been persistent for a while, and has been warned numerous times. Antandrus 01:29, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 82.32.38.159

Vandalizing several pages. Specifically those that deal with Microsoft and alternatives. Is apparantly a Microsoft-lover.

How are these accusations "false"? That IP address — not one "similar", but that particular IP address — added the penis image to all of those year articles; the edit histories offer proof of this. And, frankly, there is no way we're going to revert and put that image back on the top of all the year articles from 1950-2078. Nice try. - jredmond 22:25, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

    • I now believe this wasn't a vandal at all. It appears that David Storobin of Global Politician was attempting to donate material from his own site, and it never crossed his mind that it would appear to be someone else violating his intellectual property rights! I've suggested that he set up an account so that it is clear what is going on here, then log in and re-add his contributions that have been reverted (inappropriately, as it turns out) as copyvios. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:26, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
Even so, he could try to integrate the added text into the articles. So far the contributions of 24.185.149.111 were to dump a bunch of text into seemingly random place without any attempt to integrate it into existing writing. On the other hand, he never failed to sign the text with an URL to his web site. This appears more like a desire to promote the web site, rather than to make a useful contribution. --Gene s 07:56, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 216.209.153.2

  • This was brought to my attention by another anon. Seems this guy is posting a bunch of nonsense articles about a non-existent or totally non-notable actor named Paul Paquette. No IMDb for him or his movies whatsoever. Also a bogus article called "Arrowhead" about this guy's supposed band. He put the info on the Arrowhead disambig page. Google points to an artist of the same name. Not the same guy. To top it off, I'm getting nasty notes on my talk page from a fairly new registered user who insists that untrue articles aren't speedy deletion candidates. He's posting them for peer review instead. I already reviewed the articles. They're totally false. Sigh... - Lucky 6.9 00:02, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Users Critical and CStar

  • Has there been a troll / vandalism on eight pages and three users?
For the record, the user Critical ( talk, contributions), who slapped the "disputed NPoV" sticker on some pages, has made his or her first edits tonight (or today) and within less than two hours has attacked eight articles for PoV, including (ironically given the CStar example given on the Logical fallacy talk page), Physical law. These were the only "edits" (plus weak justifications on talk pages in the same vein as this one). I don't think the PoV claim has merit. We may ask if this series of attacks is to be taken seriously.
For the following reasons I am thinking that these pages has been the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll and the PoV sticker should be removed sooner rather than later, if not immediately. We may note that CStar ( talk, contributions) after making edits, paused during the period user Critical made edits, and then CStar took up responding to these edits after the series of user Critical edits ends, as if there is only one user involved, and the user logged out, changed cookies and logged back in. Further, user CStar left a note on Charles Matthew's talk page, Chalst's talk page, and Angela's talk page pointing to a supposed PoV accusation placed on the Logical argument page, when in fact no such sticker has been placed. Perhaps the irony regarding the Physical law page is not so ironic. Hu 05:26, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)
I've responded to this on the Logical fallacy talk page.CSTAR 14:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Point of information
I have responded to this on the logical fallacy talk page, as well as on the pages of the above mentioned users. It does appear that these pages were as Hu suggests the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll. But I wasn't the perpetrator. This suggestion appears to have been an honest mistake, I consider the matter closed, and it appears that Hu does as well. CSTAR 01:56, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
