The ball of wax vandal (also known as Wiki ball of wax or WBOW) is an eccentric vandal who creates multiple sockpuppets and vandalises various pages in a random pattern. [edit]

Modus operandi

WBOW operates by creating several sockpuppets and adding dispute templates

and

while inserting nonsense about the "great pilgrimage to the holy land of the great wiki ball of wax". He will also add pages to the categories Category:History and Category:Landmarks. He is likely to add the above templates to user talk pages of users who interact with him, and on the talk pages of his sockpuppet accounts themselves. When vandalising, he will frequently hit the same article several times in a row with multiple sockpuppets.

So far, he has shown predilection toward the following pages: • Bob Saget and Bob Sagat • Obesity • Stockport

'


Johnny the Vandal (JtV)' is a persistent vandal and troll.


[edit] Modus operandi

Johnny has been known to insert pictures of nudity or other obscene content into pages and repeatedly make no good-faith edits and personal attacks. Users whom he prefers to harrass include Arwel Parry, Hephaestos, VelairWight, Mike Garcia/Michael, Raul654, RickK, Zoe, Curps, Guanaco, and rarely Freakofnurture. When blocked, he will often claim that he is RickK or Hephaestos and that he "lost his password" to RickK's or Hephaestos' account. Articles that he usually targets for vandalism include Crass, Death_by_Stereo, Hephaestos, Hephaestus, Penny_Rimbaud, Pete Wright, Social_Distortion, Steve_Ignorant, System_of_a_Down and The_Offspring.
==Means of identification== Johnny accounts often include "John" or "Johnny" followed or proceeded by something or another. He will often base his accounts' names on those of specific users, but will substitute either "John" or "Johnny" for part of the name or simply add "John" or "Johnny" to the users' name (e.g. Firefox Johnny). More recently, he has been using names which take after the pattern "John _ Robinson" (e.g. John Guy Robinson; John Penis Robinson). Sometimes, he will impersonate band members (e.g. Mike Ness, Jarrod Alexander) from the above bands mentioned and either claim false info or make bad-faith attacks to other admins/users and then claim he was Hephaestos or RickK; more often Hephaestos. ==Suspected Sockpuppets== For an up to date list, see Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Johnny_the_Vandal.

B-Movie Bandit (BMB) is the name of someone who used many IPs to create edit in ways that generated discussion among Wikipedia regulars. The user seems not to have created any user name, but has been nicknamed "The B-Movie Bandit". == Modus_operandi == This user would create very small stubs about movies and actors with peculiar grammar and syntax and absolutely no wikification or links. The easiest way of finding his work was to look for edits whose summary was the same as the title. An example of his work may be seen here, where he reverts an article back to a previous, worse, state. Repeated attempts to contact or educate the user have failed. It should be noted that attempts to improve articles, even when they initially fail, are welcomed. Initially many users thought that this user was unfamiliar with Wikipedia, wikis, and the correct form and style of articles. However this became less likely when this user started removing the text others had added to improve some of the articles they started or reverted to earlier, worse, text. == Major proxies == User confirmed posting via: * 64.252.0.0 - 64.252.255.255 -- SBC Internet Services - Northeast SNET-CIDR002 (NET-64-252-0-0-1) ** 64.252.160.0 - 64.252.175.255 -- PPPoX Pool BRAS1 MRDNCT SBCIS-041403120525 (NET-64-252-160-0-1) * 69.0.0.0 - 69.0.127.255 -- SBC Internet Services - Northeast SBCIS-SNT-04 (NET-69-0-0-0-1) ** 69.0.36.0 - 69.0.39.255 -- PPPoX Pool BRAS1.mrdnct SBC069000036000030319 (NET-69-0-36-0-1) User may also be posting via an AOL proxy in Manassas,_Virginia. == IP List == User has appeared at numerous IP numbers all from the same provider.

GrandCru is the common alias of a Wikipedia vandal. As of February 2006, it has 21 suspected sockpuppets. == Modus_operandi == This user's usual targets are articles related to Taiwan and China as well as pages of users he/she has problems with (such as those who work on cleaning up this user's vandalism). The typical forms of vandalism committed by this user are redirecting links, posting disparaging (and usually false) material directed at China, using profanity and redirects (especially on user and talk pages) and inserting nonsense into pages. As noted above, GrandCru will frequently target any other user who attempts to revert his/her vandalism, such as Bobbybuilder (talk · contribs), Zzyzx11 (talk · contribs), Wyss (talk · contribs), and MarkSweep (talk · contribs). He may also be responsible for attacks on Jiang (talk · contribs). ==Links to Mickey== GrandCru is believed to possibly be an alternate identity of Mickey, another vandal. == See also == * User:Bobbybuilder and User:GrandCru, Incident Archive 32, Admins' noticeboard * User:GrandCru and socks, Incident Archive 32, Admins' noticeboard GrandCru

The MilkMan accounts are a long list of suspicious accounts that follow a standard naming pattern. It is strongly suspected they are all sockpuppets of a known vandal, such as WoW, or a new, as of yet unknown one. His account names all follow a semi-standard pattern. As suspicious accounts they are all blocked. If you see a MilkMan name, alert an administrator who can ban them. Then add {{milk}} to their userpage and {{UsernameBlock-MilkMan}} to their user talk page. == Suspected accounts == :Please add others if you find them; use the syntax MM (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) (dd Month year) where "MM" is the name you are adding, changing any spacing in the username to underscores (_). All accounts in this list have either been used for MARMOT/Willy vandalism or are suspicious. :This list is not exhaustive.

The North Carolina vandal is a vandal who vandalises using multiple aliases. == Modus_operandi == The vandal often attacks targets having to do with North Carolina, particularly places in the north central region of the state, as well as adjacent areas. He has often vandalized Stokes_County,_North_Carolina. He also vandalises pages related to Elitism, Beer, Luxembourg, Mississippi, Per_capita_income, King_of_the_Hill and characters from the show, and some other topics. The vandal has created several identities, under each of which he affects a specific mode of editing. The North Carolina vandal has also created several stub articles. While some of these have been about small places which are real or supermarket chains which actually exist, others have been nonsense. == Sockpuppets and identities== The vandal's main identities, and their patterns of behavior, aside from the original vandal, are the following: #"Jake Remington" – has targeted Elitism and Budweiser #"Danielle Cunio" – has made POV-pushing edits to Christianity and related articles #"Regara" – has vandalised Riven and related articles #"Hijoli Cribi" – accounts used to persistently recreate a Myst-related hoax article. #"Jim Beanball" – Suspicious account User:Jim_Beanball:_the_NCV's_new_alias created on July 3, 2006, followed by a string of accounts using the new name. #"Jeb Berkeley" – accounts with this name or variations thereof have vandalised pages including this page's talk page and the user pages of blocked NCV sockpuppets. All accounts should have {{NCV}} added to their user pages. Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_the_North_Carolina_vandal contains a list of users with pages containing the {{NCV}} template. == IP addresses == * 63.19.x.x (main range for many months) * 65.54.x.x On January 21, 2006 he edited from 205.244.118.139 (talkcontribsdeleted contribsWHOISRDNStraceRBLshttpblock userblock log). Through April_2006, this vandal has edited from an IP range of 63.19.128.0/17. There are at least two logged-in users in good standing at that range, so it should only be blocked for short periods when the vandal is active. In July 2006, he was editing from the following ranges: * 4.136.90.0/24 * 4.136.93.0/24 * 4.136.111.0/24 * 4.136.249.0/24 ==See also== *Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/North_Carolina_vandal/Appearences_outside_of_English_Wikipedia North Carolina vandal

The Pelican Shit vandal (Also Mr. Pelican Shit with varying capitalizations) is the common name of a vandal who repeatedly vandalizes with the phrase "Pelican_shit" by inserting it into articles, blanking articles with it, and writing nonsense articles with the phrase repeatedly. On September_30 2005, an anonymous IP on Wiktionary claiming to be this vandal claimed that he will stop vandalizing, citing a lack of non blocked proxies. http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Vandalism_in_progress&diff=611059&oldid=592718 It is not known if this was sincere. == Purview and relations == This vandal has also hit up on other Wikimedia projects. The Ass Pus vandal on Wiktionary has been clearly shown to be an alternate identity of his. In addition Wiktionary:User:Lugnut acted similarly to the autofellatio redirect vandal. Example showing the relation (Note the different text): Highpee on Wiktionary and Bludngutz on the Wikipedia. He confirmed that he was also the "bugger" vandal (who inserted the phrase into various widely used templates) via his contributions under an accounts named "%8FAguilator". http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress/Long_term_alerts&diff=prev&oldid=10240443 === Other notes === *A user who calls himself "Pelican Shit" and "Mr. Pelican Shit" has been rampant on SourceWatch for months. http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch:Block_log *During a Willy on Wheels attack at the Homestar Runner Wiki, "Mister Pelican Shit" attacked also. *A user vandalised several pages on Wookieepedia similar to "Pelican Shit" vandals elsewhere, using a series of usernames, as noted here. Some of these usernames were related to the Homestar Runner wiki. == Modus_operandi == Like many other prolific vandals, detecting pelican shit vandalism is easy as he follows a standard pattern. * Googling for "pelican shit", * Looking for pages linking to "pelican shit" and * Checking the category Category:Pelican_shit will turn up almost all of his handiwork. In some instances he may have acted similarly to Willy on Wheels using the page move function to append "covered in pelican shit!" to random pages. However, another account claimed this was an imitator. They, like Willy on Wheels once did, have used HTML formatting vandalism in text boxes. An example of a different attack can be seen here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Edit&diff=prev&oldid=13688751. The vandal used to frequently attack Template:Shortcut to insert these text boxes until high visibility templates were protected. For several months, he vandalized Wikimedia Commons by replacing the featured image with the shock image "Bottleguy". He has, since then, done similar attacks on other wikis. === Account creation === The vandal almost always creates usernames to vandalize, not revealing his IP address. Unlike Willy on Wheels or the Communism vandal his account names aren't obvious or related. In the past (when it was allowed) he would create usernames that started with the nonprinting character "%8F" to impede blocking attempts. A list of accounts that have tagged as sockpuppets can be seen here. Pelican shit vandal

Randallrobinstine is a persistent childish vandal. It has been commented by certain users http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Randallrobinstine that patterns of his behavior (e.g. poor speech) may indicate that he suffers from Autism. ==Modus operandi== Randallrobinstine often vandalizes images with a paint application or replaces images with sloppy versions made with a paint application, and inserts random words and sometimes false information into articles. An example of his "paint application vandalism" may be seen here (link not working). Here is an example of his random word vandalism (and further paint application vandalism) http://web.archive.org/web/20060913000000/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FX_Networks&diff=43050252&oldid=43049941. Pages which he frequently vandalizes are generally related to media, and include such pages as FX_Networks and That_70's_Show. He sometimes vandalises video game-related articles such as Super_Mario_Bros._3 as well, though not as often. He has also been known to create articles that are either of an insignificant nature (such as a list of cable stations from Leavenworth,_Kansas) or complete nonsense and to vandalize the user and talk pages of those who have warned him for vandalism or banned his accounts. ==Suspected sockpuppets== Randallrobinstine socks frequently include vrray in their names. For a complete list, see Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Randallrobinstine. ==Block history== His static IP, 69.76.206.218 (talkcontribsdeleted contribsWHOISRDNStraceRBLshttpblock userblock log), was indefinitely blocked by Deckiller on March_22, 2006, but that block was rescinded on May_10, 2006 by Nlu per former Wikipedia policy (IPs previously were not allowed to be blocked indefinitely except for open proxies). Nlu then blocked the IP for a month. Almost exactly one month later, on June_11, 2006, Randall returned to vandalize again using the account Vrray2006, until that sockpuppet was blocked. He then vandalized without logging in, resulting in his IP to be blocked for two months by Wikibofh. Since the expiration of his block, he has resumed vandalism. See the block log for his IP. On September 17 the IP address was blocked again for one month, but was an anon block only. On September 26, 2006, the IP was again indefinitely blocked, allowing no new account creation.

See also: Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_SuperTroll == Modus_operandi == SuperTroll edits under a variety of names that are variations on "SuperTroll" or "HyperTroll" and runs a vandalbot that creates usernames with random characters. == Notes on blocking == Note that Opal is a dialup ISP and that all IPs from its ranges are highly dynamic. Blocks on these ranges lead to known collateral damage (e.g. User:REX). If you do block one of these ranges, please stay around to unblock in case of Collateral_damage. Click here for more information. As well as vandalism under recognisable variants of the name "SuperTroll", the entity is running MediaWiki vandalbot software (of a type that has been spotted being tested on small mediawikis). == Possible connections == There is a user running the same variety of MediaWiki vandalbot software, often at similar times, based in Denmark. This vandalbot comes in from the range 83.92.128.0/17. User names include Programmer X and Programmer-X. Non-vandalbot posts include the brag that they are the creator of the SUPER COOL bot (the text appears to be English translated into Dutch by Babelfish or similar).

Rovoam is a POV-pushing sockpuppet vandal whose original account was banned on April_11, 2005. ==Modus_operandi== The vandal originally started his campaign of vandalism in February 2005, under his Rovoam account. He later was banned for causing a huge pro-Armenian dispute on Nagorno-Karabakh and a few other Azerbaijan-related articles. He was often using IP addresses/open proxies to continue his vandalism. Soon after his ban, he started using hundreds of IP addresses, and continuously reverted on many Azerbaijan-related pages, many of which were later protected, multiple times. He's also been blocked on the Russian WikipediA, where he claimed his name was "Andrey Kirsanov". It is suspected that he may have affiliations with BBIH. Rovoam

Willy on Wheels is a page-move vandal who may have imitators.

Modus operandi The following is the form of vandalism that Willy most frequently engages in: 1. Accounts are created, frequently many at once, the vast majority of which contain either or both "Willy" and "on Wheels" or some variation thereon in their names, sometimes imitating legitimate users's names or using crude translations. 2. Using these accounts, random pages are retitled, usually by adding "on Wheels!". 3. Occasionally makes references to Liverpool or Merseyside, e.g. Wheels_Of_Liverpool (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log). Willy has also vandalised to a lesser extent in other manners, such as by adding this image to pages. It should also be noted that has claimed to have used a vandalbot.

Action

Any username containing the words "On Wheels" or any near permutation or discernible reference (e.g. "on Tires", Not "on Wheels") can be considered a WoW-type account and blocked indefinitely and without warning. Be sure to replace the userpage with Template:WoW. If the name seems on the outer edge of likelihood, add

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

or Template:UsernameBlock-WoW below it or on the talk page. Any user that moves any pages in a blatantly bad-faith manner, or with references to wheels, should be blocked indefinitely and tagged as above.

Suspected sockpuppets As it is believed that some other users have created accounts that resemble WoW accounts; accounts should not be considered proven WoW sockpuppets unless they actually participate in vandalism of a WoW nature. Nonetheless they should be blocked on sight. A list of all accounts suspected of being Willy on Wheels can be seen at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Willy on Wheels. The category both accounts suspected because of behavior and accounts that were blocked before they could be used for malicious behavior.

Other appearances and connections • Mr. Pelican Shit may be Willy, although he/she has claimed otherwise. • The Communism Vandal is possibly Willy. This can be seen in blocked users whose contributions display both WoW tendencies and TCV tendencies, although it is far more likely that such users are impersonators who have knowledge of both vandals. • MilkMan may be Willy. • The Loyola vandal has been alleged to be Willy. • Bobby Boulders has been alleged to be Willy, though evidence seems to suggest this is not the case.

Other notes • Jesus On Wheels is a legitimate user despite the resemblance between his name and those of WoW sockpuppets. • The original person (or one of them) claims to have quit. [2] (link also explains things such as Willy having used vandalbots) • They use WoW in their edit summaries.

MARMOT is one of Wikipedia's most notorious vandals, known for using proxies and bots (User:Love_Virus) to vandalize Wikipedia. User:MARMOT had been unbanned on one year of probation as of November_12, 2005, promising to "not vandalise" (see this Wikipedia Signpost article). MARMOT was rebanned as of January_17, 2006 by Jimbo Wales after evidence of extreme policy violations (imitating another user's IP_address) came to light (see User:Brion_VIBBER/Cool_Cat_incident_report). ==MARMOT Intel== ===Proxies=== #200.226.137.9 #*DNS resolved 200.226.137.9 to 9.137.226.200.in-addr.arpa.ig.com.br #200.226.137.13 #*DNS resolved 200.226.137.13 to 13.137.226.200.in-addr.arpa.ig.com.br ===NTL proxies=== #62.253.64.19 #* DNS resolved 62.253.64.19 to brnt-cache-8.server.ntli.net #62.253.96.40 #* DNS resolved 62.253.96.40 to winn-cache-1.server.ntli.net #62.253.96.42 #* DNS resolved 62.253.96.42 to winn-cache-2.server.ntli.net #62.253.96.44 #* DNS resolved 62.253.96.44 to winn-cache-3.server.ntli.net #62.253.128.11 #* DNS resolved 62.253.128.11 to cmbg-cache-1.server.ntli.net #62.255.32.11 #* DNS resolved 62.255.32.11 to brhm-cache-3.server.ntli.net #62.255.32.12 #* DNS resolved 62.255.32.12 to brhm-cache-4.server.ntli.net #62.255.32.14 #* DNS resolved 62.255.32.14 to brhm-cache-6.server.ntli.net #80.3.96.40 #* DNS resolved 80.3.96.40 to asfd-cache-1.server.ntli.net ===NTL IPs===
