[edit] Request Information

AdamWeeden

Where is the issue taking place?
Talk:Brett Favre
Who's involved?
User:AdamWeeden, User:aviper2k7, User:Jaranda, User:Starwars1955 (and all of his many various IP addresses).
What's going on?
After violating (and continuing to violate) the 3 revert rule on Brett Favre (to which one of his IP aliases was temporarily banned), Starwars1955 has defaced the Talk:Brett Favre page by deleting other member's comments, changing member's votes in a consensus vote, and otherwise acting uncivil. In the pursuit of fairness, it does appear as if he was removing things that were possibly in violation of WP policy, but we only discovered that after an independent third party pointed it out. He was reverting because he thought it looked stupid, and did so without discussion, and continued even while I tried to foster discussion. He has also done this on other pages including User:aviper2k7. I apologize if I am involving you unnecessarily, but I do not know what else I should be doing.
I added myself as involved as I was reverting as well, he is still deleting comments from talk page, he has serious WP:OWN issues Jaranda wat's sup 23:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
What would you like to change about that?
I would like a way to prevent him from continuing to stifle growth on the Brett Favre article through his distractions.
Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
No, I do not mind that he knows that I reported him.
