This looks like your typical shared IP. This one traces to Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa (I added a {{SharedIPEDU}} tag to that effect). There are several good faith helpful edits from the IP and the activity there is fairly sporadic. I'd recommend treating it like any other shared IP: assume that no two edits are from the same person. Revert vandalism, revert questionable unsourced material with an edit summary to that effect, leave good edits alone. —Wknight94 (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Riveros11 has been using a program of attempting to intimidate any alternative contributor to his religious group's topic page BKWSU by slapping vandalism tag on me and others in order to block my IP address - using alternative sockpuppet addresses that leaves his main user loking clean. The latest using the IP; 72.91.169.22, , here . I removed it. Sockpuppetry and personal attack, or just a cynical and dishonest ploy to block other users to gain control over a topic for his group, he has since faked a user page to look like a third contributor he has also intimidated with threatening warnings.

The user page for 72.91.169.22 is faked up to look like; maleabroad, complete with bad Indian-English spelling

This is an important detail as we will see later. It says;

" User:72.91.169.22

How am I vandalising? I was deelteing anti-Hindu propangda trying to create a wedge between BKs and Hindus co-religionists. No racism will be tolerated! "

If you look at the user contribution for maleabroad, here , you will see the same anti-hindu proganda stuff used on the BKWSU page, here

Revision as of 16:38, 21 November 2006 maleabroad m (deleted anti-Hindu propaganda user trying to create drift between BK brothers and Hindu co-religionists)

However, looking at the archive of maleabroad, Luis Riveros11 slapped a vandalism tag on maleabroad from the same IP address in Tampa; 72.91.169.22 (72.91.169.22 ), where Luis or Avyakt7 as he likes to call himself says;

" Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. 72.91.169.22 03:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC) AVYAKT7 "

Luis is of course a teacher and recruiter for the BKWSU Raja Yoga center in Tampa. See documentation of his talks, here , etc.

• At 02:42 am 30 November 2006 as Riveros11 he made his usual revision/accusation (rv: vandalism - User 195.82.106.244 changed article without previous discussion as stated in Talk page without obeying policies in talk page - vandalism - version from user Appledell) .
• At 02:49, 30 November 2006 he made a Administrator intervention against vandalism, here . *ipvandal 195.82.106.244 Reported user this morning. Keeps reverting page without discussion and blanks all warnings from talk page.
• At 02:54, 30 November 2006 .
• At 02.57 am on 30 November 2006 he then used this sockpupet IP address on my talk page .

If we look at the user contribution for 72.91.169.22 we see that he has used it soley to attack me ... and once for maleabroad.

If we look at his own user page for ... we see that despite making all the edits to BKWSU he has not once used it to make an IP vandalism report and only once a personal attack report.

If we look at the other IP address is uses 72.91.4.91 also Tampa Verizon and used for making vandalism attacks on Maleabroad

If we look at user contributions for Tampa Verizon 72.91.4.91; here, , we see they are again solely focused on the BKWSU, maleabroad and myself.

If we look at user contributions for 71.251.88.110 = is also Tampa Verizon; here, , we see they are again solely focused on the BKWSU and myself.

From 25/26 October 2006 when he first engaged in editing as Riveros11 , he has been a one track record Vandalism, Vandalism, Vandalism, Vandalism and whole load of admin tricks to block others ... no wonder he has been to busy to actually engage in the atempted discussion, mediation or arbitration . Except on others pages where he seeks advice and attempt to discredit me and similarly hitting other first contributors, e.g. .

I have no doubt that this is not exhaustive but it is exhausting ... I hope that we can resolve matters.

I would like to point out that the same team are also at work on Google Answers having critical or even independent pieces about the BKWSU removed, e.g. which is now http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=206345, Yahoo and elsewhere. Yes, Misplaced Pages Foundation will be targetted next if they has not already done so. Scratch me and I will bleed citations.

• One final incident, just wanted to add for the sake of completeness a Request for checkuser that Luis did under the 72.91.4.91 user where he refers to himself in the third party, "He also reported user Riveros11 ... Personal attack on Riveros11 ..." etc. . It is worth noting JUST for the amount of effort he puts into this.

• • Uh-oh ... And 72.91.28.223

I'm not convinced that this is a sockpuppet. Please WP:AGF and invite this editor to explain his or her reasoning for the deletion on the article talk page. Looks like the response to this has been unusually aggressive. Perhaps this is really someone new who could become a productive editor. Follow up if problems continue. Durova 00:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I was judging this based on the WHOIS for both: and . Is there a way to do a WHOIS on regular users for the record? Thanks for the reply, I'll just keep it status quo on the page and see what else happens. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 01:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, that seems reasonable. Still, nothing beyond a level 2 warning on either IP. I'd like to see some good faith outreach. Ask this person to participate at the article talk page. Durova 02:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I was under the assumption that they were both sockpuppets, so each warning was a cumulation off of both IPs. Upon the next removal, I'll ask that it be taken to the Discussion page as there is a system for link additions/removals (installed by me due to the high degree of link removals/additions for this article). Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand that similar matters have been longstanding problems at this page. Nonetheless, the right thing to do is to welcome each newcomer who might become productive and encourage them to contribute in accordance with site policies before issuing warnings. Some types of activity don't require that welcome - but this isn't someone who's posting obscenities to a page. They might have a genuine disagreement about that link's suitability and not understand consensus editing. Talk first and come back if they don't cooperate. Durova 20:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding 151.204.242.114, the same user with the same DNS range is continuing to remove links. I posted a lengthy note on his talk page (didn't get around to it the first time but left a note in the edit summary at Urban exploration. This is getting old. This is verifiable with a simple IP query and WHOIS on the domains.

"Regarding edits to urban exploration. Your edits are similar to that of 151.204.243.217 and 141.149.186.183. The DNS for all three IPs are from the same DNS range: , and .

Here are more differentials submitted by another user to me:
Disparaging and provocative POV presented as fact in discussion (trolling)...

Bogus personal attack report and deletion of comment...
He also reported riveros11 on a personal attack intervention board with a very attacking diatribe... Someone answered. 244 obviously didn't like the comment so he deleted it!

Personal attack on Riveros11...
Bad faith edit comments....

Personal information and false allegation of sockpuppet...

Intimidation...

Taunting...

Removing NPOV...

Removing page protection (probably to be able to post again as 244, evidence of sock puppet)...

Changing others' discussion and offensive edit comment....

Shifting of burden of proof onto those questioning the article...

Forest fire...

That's a lot of evidence over quite a few months. Thank you for searching and summarizing all of those diffs. Some of these actions aren't necessarily objectionable. For instance, Misplaced Pages doesn't take a stand against editors blanking warnings from their own talk pages. Nor is it necessarily wrong to remove an NPOV tag, particularly when it's a single action rather than a revert war. The bulk of the history looks like a heartfelt content dispute. While cult is a hot button word, this editor doesn't use it frivolously but rather supports it with links and detailed discussion - although the allegation itself is necessarily provocative, it seems to have been raised in a suitably dignified manner. So what we're left with is the sockpuppet allegation and some background history. This looks like it presents an editor who was involved in a long term content dispute and then began using socks to WP:OWN the article. Misplaced Pages:Suspected sockpuppets is the best place to handle that (and I'm glad it's already been reported there) because between that page possibly WP:DR your bases should be covered without needing to come here. A few of the other posts cross the line enough that I'd issue a warning or a short block if these were new events, but those actions took place months ago. Durova 04:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Durova, and how about this one just a day ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Brahma_Kumaris_World_Spiritual_University&diff=cur&oldid=90603114 Please note that his links offered as support to his statements does not meet wikipedia standards for an article. Those are note reliable sources. This user however, wishes to use those sources even though admins already have told him that those are not valid. I just wish someone would take action specially after offering such a lenghty proof (user .244 does not even get a warning!!)rather than sending me to post in other places.

Listen guys, this is a bit of a joke because 72.91.169.22 is Riveros11 and User:72.91.28.223 whom both refer to himself in this and other complaints as if Riveros11 is a third party. Please see detailed documentation above. Riveros11 has been using 72.91.169.22 and other IPs to build up a bogus case against me and others in order to block me out from editing the article.

The background to this case is that Luis ] is a teacher and recruiter for this millenarianist group the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University and they have an IT team working on this article to ensure that nothing that contradicts its PR can exist there. Not even links for ex-victims as per The Family, Moonies and Scientology. Ditto, that no materials can be references from their "scriptures" or publications as per other religions. What this is all about is blocking any questions being raise. Ditto, The Family, Moonies and Scientology etc all have critical or opposition sections and links which he has removed from this one.

The history goes back to when he was suspended from a public discussion forum for making personal attacks on others which he has continued to lay blame on me for. I was the victim of those attacks. See,

With references to consistent claim that I accepted to use the sources he provided and have requested discussion of reliable sources, policy is clear;

Self-published and dubious sources in articles about the author(s)

* it is relevant to their notability;

* it is not contentious;

* it is not unduly self-serving;

* it does not involve claims about third parties, or about events not directly related to the subject;

* there is no reasonable doubt as to who wrote it.

I put in for RfC, mediation and arbitration and the guy refused to participate whilst all the time using these alternative IPs to try block me out. I am glad I found all this to understand what is going on. 195.82.106.244 12:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

This matter is now in arbitration. Durova 04:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Template:Allen Greenfield - I have definite information that the person calling for deletion of this article has a long history of writing crank letters about this specific subject for entirely personal, rather than critical or cited, reasons. Some claims made by this person, a V. Cybert of Alabama, are apparently defamatory as well as misrepresented. This hardly seems a legitimate reason to call for a vote on deletion of an article, especially when said motive is masked. //Allen Greenfield

The user is bullying me and harassing for no reason. He uses a English book with "Kannada POV" but objects and removes the cited info by me be it in my native language or English. He is highly elitist and hates anyone editing 'his' articles. I tried a ceasefire here gave the details of my citations.He told me he has located the book and he is still reverting chalukya and rashtrakuta. Mr.nichalp and mr.utcursch have been approached as well. He himself proclaims that marathi books should not be quoted but wikipedia does allow other languages books also. Now he has two English books which i have quoted he is still going on with his reverts by asking the ID, pub.date etc etc.The book i have is old (1924 AD) and hence it will not have such details.

Hi, I have been in a long edit war across many pages with goethean. I would like you look into Goethean's activities, I direct you to his talk page which shows that he is abusive towards fellow editors besides me. I even strongly have reason to believe that he has a meatpuppet Grey under his direction. He has gone to many pages I have written on and makes a comment out of nowhere after making the original comment. Goethean and me have been investigated by a sys admin Larry V but goethean has been admonished to take the high road and violates this every time with me. He has gotten me blocked for 3RR rule but if you were to look at the Ken Wilber page, I am sure he has been a horrible violator of the 3RR rule. I will admit I have no love lost for goethean, but I think his behavior towards me is systematic of how he acts as an editor.

Investigative info included in the following links: , ,, I can almost Guarentee you that this will be vandalized in some way. Report: Upon becoming aware of User:LUCPOL, a user blocked 4 times before, and constantly reminded to stop vandalizing articles, in 2006 i started to grow quite suspicious of his activities, and one day editing an article and removing a seemingly unnessecary image of Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, which i later accepted, and that reversion was soon edited to say "Silesia City" first, which is not the formal name for the region and is only used locally.Upon seeing this i suspect User:LUCPOL became angered and he then moved Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union to Silesia City, without anyone elses consensus(2-3 times.) Over this period i soon found out that LUCPOL was monitoring and watching my every reversion, even requests into his identity, in which he would soon respond and make himself apparent in personal conversations. I was later blocked unjustly as was he had used this cyber-stalking technique and pulled me into his block sentence. I started also adding an image of Frankfurt am Main, which was strangely removed a few times. The insuing events took place, in which i learned that User:LUCPOL had a personal agenda to promote an apparent RADICAL Pan-Polish/Pan-Slavic agenda (NOTE:LUCPOL has very little knowledge of the English language, leading to many unencyclopedic reversions previously.)He has also added warning templates to other users talk pages, which are almost always unsigned.

Example incident:

I know now through intense research that his opininated editing has led him to create articles in other language wikipedias that say eiether the non-formal "metropolis katowice" or "silesia city."

I found out an anonymous IP today attempted to request the protection of the "upper silesia metropolitan union" article mentioning the constant 2 month reversion-vandalism campaign by User:LUCPOL, but when User:LUCPOL saw this, he changed select words to his personal benefit, and later even completely removed the request without permission and added his own version of it(before an action had been taken), stating it was ("unneeded") (apparently this has gone unnoticed so far).I looked into this anonymous IPs talk history for any past incidents and suspicious behavior and instead i found this.-- Hrödberäht 05:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Blocked content of the article Katowice by placing large panorama image in an inappropriate location at the top.

• User adds Music video link on Cypress Hill, link is removed due to its irrelevance, but adds link back again and disobeys authority:

• found out that USER:LUCPOL has created almost every different language article on Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, or using the fake title of Metropolis Katowice, or Silesia Cityand lieing about their validity.

Saturday, January 20, 2007

• Added the fake "Silesia City" to Metropolis in place of the real Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union.
• Reverted Template:User European Union back to saying it was a nation, when its is not.
• Reverted Template:User Silesia back to saying it was a nation, when its is not.
• Notcied that he reverted Edits to Upper Silesian Industry Area and added his concept of 'Silesia City' back to it again.
• Did some research into past blocks of User:LUCPOL:
• 1 14:09, May 9, 2006 C12H22O11 blocked LUCPOL with an expiry time of 1 month (WP:3RR at Rapcore, talk page blanking & legal threats at User talk:Ulayiti)
  • 15:26, May 9, 2006 Prodego decreased block to 24hrs for 3RR,"user says he'll stop"
• 2 16:54, August 4, 2006 Alai blocked LUCPOL with an expiry time of 1 hour (revert-warring on Rapcore)
• 3 07:41, September 6, 2006 Alphachimp blocked LUCPOL with an expiry time of 24 hours (WP:3RR violation on Rapcore)
• 4 05:20, December 29, 2006 William M. Connolley blocked LUCPOL with an expiry time of 24 hours (WP:3RR violation on Metropolis)

• Answer:
  

My English is poor, indeed, I had much difficulty understanding R9tgokunks. So:

1. Case: Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union - Name Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union (polish: Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny) it's an old, now unused name retired by the new government (after elections of November 2006 ). "Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny" was replaced by "Silesia". Examples: in : , , in , , , (etc...) and pl.Wikinews. Polish Misplaced Pages for long months had article pl:Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny, and were politicians changed the name to "Silesia" than Polish wiki gained a new article pl:Silesia (miasto) (english: "Silesia city"). They both described the same thing after some discussions I created a redirect , but we delayed renaming "Silesia (miasto)" as it is a current process and we want to see what happens. But Polish wiki article states: "Silesia (dawniej Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny)" - english: Silesia city (long ago Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union") . So you see: R9tgokunks inserted wrong info into the article and engaged in revert wars , without any knowledge of the "Silesia (miasto)" issue - and he accusses me of vandalism. Further, he removed the name "Silesia" from article which seems to me to be clear vandalism: .
2. Case Frankfurt am Main - Simply, I never edited that article and have no idea why I am accused of editing it.I never even accused you of editing this article.... R9tgokunks 20:52, 20 January 2007
3. Other accounts. I am an experienced Wikipedian - Ihave 15 000 edits on pl.wikipedia , 2000 on en.wikipedia , and I decided to have an account on other Wikis for interwiki additions, so they appear under my account and not anon's IP. I don't understand what's wrong with that.
4. IP (ex: 91.120.107.93, 168.213.1.132, 207.245.84.70, 131.104.218.46, 216.171.96.18) are not mine and checkuser will verify this.Yes, sorry, I mistakenly added these based on other vandals on wikipedia that i was wishing to check on. R9tgokunks 20:52, 20 January 2007
5. Case Template:Infobox City Poland - As for my revert it's easy to explain: User:Fujicolor changes completly revamped the infobox, and I think it damaged the layout on en.wiki. I disagree with this change, thus I revert it. As simple as that.
6. Case Silesian - There is no such entity as "Polish Silesia", there is just Silesia region on the territory of 3 countries. Thus I reverted R9tgokunks' edit .
7. Case Silesia - Old version of the article had "Nation" and my dictionary tells me it translates to Polish "naród" (people); I think "State" is more correct.In america and the rest of Europe, they call Poland and the Czech republic countries(Nations),so obviously it doesnt matter what you think when it goes up against ]. User:Olessi change to "Country" is fine with me and I consider the matter closed.
8. Case Katowice - I reverted R9tgokunks' edit as it damaged the layout of article (see for yourselves). Panoramas should go at the top, I think it's a common policy.

I did not execute no vandalism. LUCPOL 16:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

1. Case Template:Infobox City Poland - Reverted a template that wasnt even created by himself...and it was reverted back by the user that created it..
2. Case: Silesia - Ok then...If you yourself KNOW that Silesia exists in 3 different countries...then WHY did you revert my edit???It doesnt make any sense....
   
3. Case: Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union - User LUCPOL lied about the validity of the names 'Metropolis Katowice' and 'Silesia City', he said they were true, but recently i found out they are fake and arent even used in Poland. Subsequent trans-language articles of wikipedia have all been created by USER:LUCPOL under the fake name of 'Metropolis Katowice', and almost all have been changed to (this case, in English) 'Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union', with MANY users telling him 'Metropolis Katowice', and 'silesia city' dont even exist, and that its the wrong name, but STILL he choses to disobey authority and switch it back because his your ignorace in thinking.
   
4. Case Katowice - Wrong, its not 'common policy', view the Frankfurt and Warsaw articles... which are some of the best articles on wikipedia.-- Hrödberäht 20:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

• Per my comments on user talk pages, I strongly suggest mediation: both users seem to be good faithed editors who have content dispute, compounded by LUCPOL's poor command of English.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  20:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Proszę przetłumaczyć na angielski / Please translate:

Do User:R9tgokunks. Chcę dojść do porozumienia. Zostawmy narazie sprawy Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, Upper Silesian Industry Area i Silesian. Te trzy sprawy przedyskutujemy później. Proszę o odpowiedź odnośnie poniższych punktów:

1. Jeśli chodzi o sprawę Frankfurt am Main to już pisałem - nie mam nic z tym wspólnego. Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?
2. Jeśli chodzi o IP 91.120.107.93, 168.213.1.132, 207.245.84.70, 131.104.218.46, 216.171.96.18 to już pisałem - nie mam nic z tym wspólnego. Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?
3. Jeśli chodzi o sprawę Template:Infobox City Poland to już pisałem - zrevertowałem tylko raz bo uznałem, że zmiana źle zrobiła dla szablonu, lecz użytkownik mi wyjaśnił na dyskusji i sprawa została zamknięta. Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?
4. Jeśli chodzi o sprawę kont na innych wikipediach/commons/meta to już pisałem - jestem z wikipedią już długo i jestem zaawansowanym wikipedystą więc powinienem takie konta mieć np. do wpisywania interwiki. Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?
5. Jeśli chodzi o sprawę Katowice to już pisałem - twoja zmiana uszkodziła format strony , więc zrevertowałem. Ale zrevertowałem tylko jeden raz kończąc ten spór. Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?
6. Jeśli chodzi o sprawę Silesia to już pisałem - sprawa została zamknięta przez User:Olessi, który zmienił na "country". Czy możemy tę sprawę zakończyć?

Proszę o odpowiedzi pod moimi punktami lub w poście osobno jako Ad.liczba. Nie powinno się wyjaśniać wielu rzeczy naraz, więc podzieliłem konflikt na dwie części. Jeśli jesteś gotowy zamknąć te 6 pierwszych spraw (Frankfurt am Main, IP, Template:Infobox City Poland, konta na innych wikipediach/commons/meta ,Katowice, Silesia) to przekreśl je w twoim zgłoszeniu i odpisz że możemy te sprawy już zamknąć, wtedy zajmniemy się pozostałymi. Mam nadzieję, że jednak jesteś otwarty na jak najszybsze dojście do porozumienia. LUCPOL 19:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Pages have been deleted, user warned and he has not edited since.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  19:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Dr. Dan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

After months of interaction with this user, I am afraid I have lost hope that he can contribute positivly to our project. While he occasionaly does useful copyediting, a very significant portion of that user's edits (see statistics appendix below) seem to unconstructive remarks on various talk pages. Of course a fondness of discussions is nothing serious (Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox, but we have more important things to deal with) - however his remarks are almost always off topic to the issue discussed and are further highly sarcastic, usually ad hominem, bordering on personal attacks and way too often leading to flaming, wasting times of other editors and stressing them out. The user has been warned to change his attitude many times - examples from his talk page: 29 January 2006, 26 June 2006, 29 June 2006, 4 July 2006, and particulary see 30 July 2006, 11 December 2006, 12 December 2006 and 12 January 2007. Unfortunatly I see no change in his behaviour - other then he is getting increasingly bold with hostile, provocative comments (this is the newest one which prompted me to file this report). Recently some editors have tried to contain the flame wars that habitually edit after his remarks by removing or achiving his posts before they get too many replies (once, twice , thrice, not that it seems to have any effect on him. His constant snipping remarks contributed, among other things, to months long withdrawal from our project of one of the most active contributors - User:Halibutt, the the 168 most active editor (see also his accusation of that user being 'a very warped, and lying propagandist at his absolute worst'). Or just see this gem, where he reffers to Halibutt's contributions as 'flaming and anti-Lithuanian propaganda' and 'a weird, hateful history of editing'. As obviously warnings are ineffective, I'd like to ask the community to consider other actions before this user manages to offend and chase of other editors from our project.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC) PS. In a recent post, Dr. Dan calls me a 'self proclaimed wellspring of knowledge regarding Poland on English Misplaced Pages'. Here he accusses me of 'falsehood'...-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• If it helps at all, i'd like to say that i highly support investigative actions.-- Hrödberäht 05:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• • I would like to address these remarks and ask for 48 hours or less, to do so. As a very active member of various organizations opposing the Iraq War, and recent attempts to escalate it, I am unable to give these serious, but untrue, characterizations the time needed to address them appropriately. I'm also on call this weekend, and as a physician, I take that very seriously. So between work and my contributions of time to the anti-War effort, I need a little time to respond to these remarks before any decisions are taken. Thanks Dr. Dan 18:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

So granted: 24 hour block. Your analysis appears to be topical and substantive, but the persistent sniping violates WP:CIVIL. When the block expires please continue the content discussions without personalizing the disputes. Respectfully, Durova 21:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I am very surprised by this move. Particular contributor Dr. Dan directly asked for time to respond to this matter, the time was not given. There is WP:AGF? Dr. Dan is the best copy editor and he deserved the right to present his view and point the problems. Also does the policy which states: Please remember that reporters may not be entirely ‘innocent’ themselves, so be sure to check their edits and treat all sides fairly. Also was carried out? Because looking in presented “evidence” contributor Piotrus did not mentioned some issues which should be mentioned in this case. Also does this case should not be placed in under investigation case? So I convinced that the ban should revoke and let contributors present their cases without any rush. M.K. 22:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm also very surprised. First of all, although I don't know Dr. Dan well, I have come across him on pages where he was arguing with a friend of mine, and found that his behaviour with people on a different side was fine. I've looked at these "offences", and they don't seem to have anything like the level of disruption to justify a block. Remember, blocks are not meant to be punitive. From experience, I think that if this had been taken to WP:ANI, people would have been told to get a thicker skin or to have a nice cup of tea. Finally, Dr. Dan specifically asked for time to respond to the matter. I think it's precisely because of concerns about it turning into a forum for "Please, teacher. Johnny said something naughty" that WP:PAIN was recently abolished. This block should be undone. Musical Linguist 22:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

If Dr. Dan has time to post several personal attacks and flame other contributors on various talk pages a day, but no time to do a minor copyedit more often then once a week or so, perhaps this will give him something to think about and reevaluate his priorities. He has been warned enough on his talk page, and he had ample time (months) to respond to those warnings and adjust his behaviour. And, Musical, there is a level where 'Johny being noughty' is too much for our community to take, and when Johnny suceeeds in getting one of our most active users to go on months-long wikiholiday with his personal attacks, it's a proof enough that growing thick skin is not enough in this case.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  22:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

First of all your "evidence" should be placed under full investigation. For instance in this case, this "personal attack" was under big suspicion among editors . And let remind you that person have quite a problem in his real life, and he did not hide just noted about timing. And if you hold such attitude which you presented, I am regret, but I am not regret Dan, but you instead. M.K. 22:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I am quite confident that experienced RFI editors like Durova know when they've investigated enough. For instance in the discussion you brought up most editors criticized Dr. Dan for it, and the defence 'grow thick skin' as I explained above is not the one I recognize. I don't see why I should learn to take such abuse - per WP:CIV and our policies, it is the uncivil editors who should learn how to behave.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  23:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Especially then admin making such statements as this . BTW, what do you calling among other things, to months long withdrawal I understand that you historically related with user:Halibutt (), looking his contributions from 06.12.23 I cant see any so called "months long withdrawal". And another note do you intent to prosecute and all Lithuanian community, because Halibutt unambiguous made clear (bold some points to better see):

"Unfortunately, an ongoing campaign of slander and blackmail against me has forced me to abandon wikipedia for some time. Death threats from Ghirlandajo, anti-semitic comments from Renata and her Lithuanian pals, offending my parents by Dr.Dan, offending my nationality and culture by the nationalist Lithuanian community here - all these were a step too far. Perhaps I'll come back when they change their ways - or wiki finally starts to defend serious editors against trolls and ultra-nationalists. Regards, //Halibutt" "Interesting" statment deserves reaction, you say WP:CIV? BTW, did you mentioned here (for the background) that your friend, as you call it he 168 most active editor, Halibutt recently already started to mocking particular nations language, as well as living persons etc. ? M.K. 01:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Anybody who want's to verify how Dr. Dan (and M.K's) campaign effects Halibutt, you are welcome to check stats here (comapre pre-September to post-September). If you'd like us to investigate Halibutt's offences, or those of any other editor, you are free to post here with diffs or start a WP:DR procedure; otherwise, please stop your campaign against Halibutt (and if I can understand your post correctly, myself).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  02:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

First of all, Dan's outrageous suggestion that my parents were members of the commie party, while funny in itself, was meant to discredit my views. This is not the way to go.

Secondly, I was indeed on wikivacations. Recently I thought that it could be nice to come back, but apparently it was not. Sorry for that, M.K., next time I'll think twice before posting anything on wikipedia. //Halibutt 02:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Take this with a huge grain of salt

I would like to warn anyone who was lucky enough to not have had any disputes with user:Piotrus, and therefore having not been a victim of his intimidation, to take his complaints with a huge grain of salt.

The essence of all these conflicts is never civility but the long-lasting content disagreements over many articles tendentiously edited by Piotrus to suite his Poland-centered world-view (I would have gone one step further and called this even Polish nationalist world view but Piotrus' nationalism is admittedly, less extreme than that of some others). Piotrus' persisting with pushing the Polish nationalist POV into various articles brought about conflicts with valuable editors from all countries that happen to be the neighbors of Poland and have lots of shared history, primarily Russians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians and Germans. This by itself would not have been abnormal if not Piotrus' reprehensible tactics he is persistently using by trying to win such content disputes through expulsion of his opponents through blocks or forcing them quit. In the past he used false 3RR reports, cherry-picking of admins to bring his complaints to, WP:AN, WP:ANI. Most recently he used several times the WP:PAIN which is now thankfully shut-down specifically because of the Piotrus'-like abuse of it. Now he found a new venue to push for expulsion of his opponents, this board.

He has succeeded in achieving one of his goals already. User:Ghirlandajo, the jewel contributor, left the Misplaced Pages and does not seem returning. Now it is Dr. Dan's turn. Who will be next I wonder?

To summarize, these conflict are purely based on content disputes and their resolutions belong to the article's talk, RfC's, etc. Attempts to present this as civility issues or policy violations are misleading and aimed at achieving another content "victory" by expuslsion of another opponent. When such tricks were tried against Piotrus' friend Halibutt, I was equally critical then.

Anyway, I've seen enough to initiate the administrative recall of Piotrus for the unethical behavior unbecoming for an admin. I refused to do that earlier despite many calls I received in private from the Russian, Lithuanian and German editors in the past year. I was mistaken then and it's time to correct this now. --Irpen 05:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I never expected you, Irpen, to scoop so low and to present so many misinterpretations (to say the least). I have just four comments. 1) No diffs in the above post should give everyone a pause. Fiction, of course, is hard to back up with diffs. 2). Similar accusations were raised by Ghirla and M.K at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Piotrus. M.K's rant was not supported by anyone except Dr. Dan (suprise...), and Ghirla ended up in ArbCom and Mediation, where he agreed to put himself under a civility parole (requested for, among other things, to stop a flow of similar unfounded accusations). I'd thus advice, Irpen, that you don't repeat his mistakes. 3) In any case, according to the message at User:Ghirlandajo, I had nothing to do with his wikibreak (and Irpen tryong to insinuate anything else is just another example of fallacies of his arguments). That said, you are free to try DR or initiate my voluntary recall, the last attempt to do so proved quite fruitfull, I think. 4) As for my 'persistent pushing of Polish nationalist POV' - I invite anybody to read comments by our Featured Articles Director on my RfC. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  07:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC) PS. Important note: To summarize, these conflict are purely based on content disputes and their resolutions belong to the article's talk is completly untrue, as I have no problems with Dr. Dan content editing (occasional copyediting). It's his flaming on talk which is usually off-topic to article's in question I have the problem with.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Piotrus, you won't impress or scare me by showing what happened to your other opponents. So, please no "advises not to repeat" stuff. As for diffs, I could dig them if memories fail you somehow. I thought you remember you false 3RR report against Ghirla, that was dismissed false. Also, you may recall your inciting Elonka to post a complaint on him to WP:ANI. You may also recall your inciting someone who I never met to submit a report on myself during our dispute over Taras Fedorovych. You may also recall your asking William M. Connolley‎ to block Fisenko over a content dispute he had with you. Should I dig the diffs or you remember those cases? --Irpen 07:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you are trying to catch up with the party you missed - i.e. Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Piotrus, where those issues were brought up and dismissed. I am sorry to disappoint you, but WP:RFI report against another user is not a good place to try to start Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Piotrus 2, and if you think you can try to turn this from discussing Dr. Dan to discussing Piotrus, I am afraid you'll not succeed. Per my last post, I am waiting for an apology for claims dismissed by my RfC as well as other accusations ('persistent nationalist POV pushing' and similar).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  07:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

If you have evidence to back up such a claim of POV pushing, I would be very interested in seeing it. Can you please provide diffs? Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 06:53, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

WD, you have not been around where everyone who edited with Piotrus have been lately. At the same time you just love to get involved in all sorts of personal conflicts with your uninformed opinions. I suggest simply that you study every matter before opining. The disputes here are deep. They run for years and your last attempt to get involved was extremely unhelpful. I would rather prefer that this is dealt by Durova or anyone else more or less familiar with the context, if you would please allow this. --Irpen 07:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Durova is actively working in a mediation which involves Piotrus, so I do not think she would be the best person to look into the matter. I can myself, or another user may, but in either event you should provide diffs to support your claim. If you can indeed support such a claim I would support a recal of Piotrus, but if you cannot I would ask you to withdraw this damaging accusation. I realise my efforts earlier with Ghirla did not go as well as could have been hoped, and I have taken that as a learning experience. In my defense a series of other users that seemed to have some agenda "supported" me, and in the end were altogether unhelpful in the matter. I can of course leave the issue be if you so wish, however, as I said, you should prove this claim or withdraw it, as it's a fairly damaging thing to accuse someone of. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 07:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

WD, I just want to say I have always appreciated yours (and Durova) attempts to uphold WP:CIV and other policies here. I think that your actions have always upheld high standards.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  07:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, WD, I would prefer that you leave the issue alone. I consider you by your attitude unfit to get involved in interpersonal conflict resolution and this was best demonstrated at PAIN. That said, I can't prevent you from further involvement into such issues as this is what seems you want to do. But since you asked me about this particular issue, then yes. Please stay out of it if you can. --Irpen 07:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

• One mistake is hardly something to hold a grudge on someone for, nor does it ever speak fully for one person's abilities or attitudes. In any event, I would appreciate diffs (or other evidence of that nature) or a retraction of your comment, please. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 07:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, now we are getting somewhere. So there was a mistake, huh? And was there an apology? Anyway, was your offer to leave the dispute if I request so meaningful, or you intend to persist with your involvement despite I gave a clear answer to your offer? --Irpen 07:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

And WD, please consider my request to stay in; I always found your comments helfpul and well-meaning. PS. I second WD request for a diffs (proving that point) or an apology.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  07:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Any attempt at a sort of mediation or informal dispute resolution only works if all parties to it agree to the matter, and Irpen clearly does not, so I will not further investigate or look into the matter, though I reserve the right to get involved at a later time should I feel compelled to do so. I will however, clarify a few things. First of all, Irpen - I left Ghirla a large apology on his talk page. He is an extremely valued contributor, and someone I regard with a tremendous deal of respect. I never intended to slight him in any way. Secondly, I stand by my request for Irpen to provide diffs, or at least give some reassurances that he is having this looked at by a third party. I don't feel comfortable leaving an issue with what, if unproven and unbacked, amounts to a personal attack unresolved. So, Irpen, I beseech you, please provide some diffs, or some evidence this matter is being looked into. All I ask if I am to be uninvolved is to have assurance that someone is looking into it. ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 07:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Now, you can rest assured that Durova is a very thorough person and she will get to the bottom of this if she chooses to stay in. I trust her judgment a lot. Thank you. --Irpen 07:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

WD, to fill you in - those issues where discussed in December at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Piotrus filled against me by Ghirla. As his accusations were supported by 5 out of 40+ people who commented there, and criticized by many more, the case ended up at ArbCom and User:Durova/Mediation, where Ghirla withdrew most of them, apologized and agreed to be put under civility parole, I really wonder what's Irpen's angle here with trying to revive this - but as I said above WP:RFI is not WP:RFC and this entire section is only distracting us from discussing Dr. Dan abuses.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

There were raised questions about pushing POV, interesting example , and I am sure if not intervention form the side particular article would mislead till now. Interesting stance Piotrus demonstrated then one contributor started to mocking one nations language again contributors made clear about such behavior , but Piotrus "explanations" were no good, especially then some time ago same situation arise and was noted that there was no "mistakes" in such case . Does explanations needed for accusations of various organizations, which Dr. Dan presented? M.K. 11:49, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

User contributions analysis

Of last 500 edits (that's since mid-September'06) using these scripts:

• article space: 37%; Misplaced Pages space: 3%
  • Significant article edits (copyedits/small rewrites/content/reference additions): 2.6% (13)
• talk (article, user, etc.) space: 60%

Is trolling prohibited?

Since this is not a Request For Comments call, I'll refrain from posting a longer comment on Dr. Dan's behaviour or Irpen's absurd accusations above. I'm however concerned about the grounds for this RFI in the first place. I don't think there is a wikipedia policy that explicitly prohibits trolling. Is the fact that an editor is being counter-productive enough to call for admin actions against him ? --Lysy 13:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Lysy, thank you for what appears to be your support concerning this investigation (I mean its grounds, etc.) Fortunately there is not a wikipedia policy explicitly prohibiting trolling. In that case, I wouldn't be able to thank you. Dr. Dan 22:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Lysy, that you don't like something does not make it absurd. That Piotrus' in the past many times played various tricks to achieve the blocks of his content opponents is a fact.

• His false report against Ghirla to 3RR board is a fact.
• His provoking Elonka to submit an ANI report on Ghirla is a fact.
• His contacting William M. Connolley‎ regarding his conflict with Fisenko to ask whether this is 3RRable is a fact.
• His advising someone to submit a 3RR report on myself over Piotrus' dispute with me at talk:Fedorovych is a fact.
• His report to PAIN on Ghirla that was promptly removed by JzG as trolling is also a fact.

Now that the PAIN is deleted because it was most often frivolously used as Misplaced Pages:Request to block my opponent board, the new venue for this activity has been found, this board.

Piotrus should just cease attempting to eject his opponents from Misplaced Pages through blocks. This report is just another take on it. I say, this board should likely follow PAIN into the wastebasket because complaints are always brought out of context and investigating them in full requires an incredible patience of the investigator to reveal the full scale of events. --Irpen 20:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The only thing that is a fact is your bad faith interpretation of the events, Irpen. I ask you once again to stop repeating claims already discredited in my RfC and either blank them or apologize.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  21:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you need diffs, Piotrus? I am sure you remember now each and every instance I brought up above. I can back them up with diffs and you know that. I hope Durova will finally figure this all out once she is back. Once this "investigation" is over, I will submit this board for deletion to follow WP:PAIN. There is a normal DR course and there are also attempts to circumvent it using various pages as a substitute for the Misplaced Pages:Request to block my opponent board. --Irpen 22:10, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Several users asked you for diffs. But you know what - we are just joking, we don't really want them... Sigh. I hope Durova or some other admin will look at your posts and take appopriate actions. And it was actions of people like you who try to gain immunity from wiki policies like WP:CIV that doomed PAIN, not actions of those like me or WD who try to deal with such abuses.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  00:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, Piotrus, since your memories seem to be failing you, here are the diffs that show your pattern to use various sneaky tricks to achieve the blocks of your content opponents:

• False report against Ghirla to 3RR board.
• Provoking Elonka to submit an ANI report on Ghirla.
• Contacting William M. Connolley‎ regarding your conflict with Fisenko to ask whether this is 3RRable.
• Advising someone how to submit a 3RR report on myself over your dispute with me at talk:Fedorovych.
• Your PAIN report on Ghirla that was removed by JzG as trolling is unavailable because PAIN's history is deleted. But here is the disscusion.

This attempt to block Dr. Dan fits nicely into the same pattern. You forced me to spend time to dig those out as if you forgot but they are all here now for review. --Irpen 01:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A user previously warned by up to Test4 (User talk:VinceB/Blabla1) and blocked for edit warring and sock puppetry has now changed a citation from an academic journal (replacing "nationalist" by a weaker description, not mentioned at all in the cited article). This kind of vandalism is especially threatening to WP:CITE. After this vandalism was reverted, an IP with only three edits in its history (all of them reverts to VinceB's versions of articles) did absolutely the same. A very similar situation has happened in the past (VinceB and his sock puppets trying to remove academic references describing a political party as nationalist and finally blocked for it).

These IPs were not me as logged out. Go ahead, and CHECK! This is absolutely outrageous, and disgusting. OK, I understand, that I went a bit too far, as Tankred, sorry. Yeah, pretty similar to mines, I checked them. Since the same internet provider and city, I understand the accusaton, but I'm absolutely sure, that 91.120.etc was NOT me. In the other, I'm not really sure, but I do not remember it. So go ahead with the checkuser. And before accusations, I didn't changed my mind, that these were not me. I'm just simply not sure in one of them, since it reverted Juro only. :-) --Vince 19:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I simply reverted an indef blocked user, User:Koooon's edit to user CoolKoon's previous one. If you check history , you realize, that it may be a sockpuppet in an editwar, against User:CoolKoon (this why Koooon was blocked). So giving me as the one, who added fake is a LIE. My only mistake was, that I didn't checked, if a possible then indef blocked sockpuppet's edit was a fake or not.--Vince 19:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

As the Strážay, Tomáš. 2005. Nationalist Populism and Foreign Policy: Focus on Slovak-Hungarian Relations. Slovak Foreign Policy Affairs I/2005 ref is not online I cannot verify what is the original wording, hence I cannot vefiry 'vandalism' accusation. Vince has been blocked in the past several times for violations of WP:NPA, warned many times and has been found guilty and blocked for using socks, thus I would suggest filing WP:RFCU and if Vince is again found gulity of suckpuppeting, a long block is in order. The circumstansial evidence (user has been using socks in similiar manner in the past) would indicate he is guilty, but unless another reviewer argues for a block based on this, I am tempted to WP:AGF and not block Vince based on just the evidence above.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  21:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Tankred (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Tankred as usual, above, does note care about the WHYs, just the WHATs, and of course he understands them in the most hostile way, as it can be understanded. In Slovakization article, I simply reverted an indef blocked user, User:Koooon's edit to user CoolKoon's previous one. If you check history , you realize, that it may be a sockpuppet in an editwar, against User:CoolKoon (this why Koooon was blocked). So this is a LIE.

Tankred should be warned to WP:CIV, WP:FAITH, and asked to reduce hostility in his comments against me. He's doing a campaign against me. I never was blocked due to vandalism, only edit warring, and not logging in. Since that time, I learned the lession, but this guy is simply disturbing me, as you can see, not being thretened to fake some incidents to reach his goal to block me indef. Tankred is the one, who forces me to remain unlogged, today, as .--Vince 19:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I also want the personal abuse placed on his userpage against me removed, and warned to WP:NPA. --Vince 20:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess this is just a retaliation for my Request of investigation of VinceB's edits. VinceB, I think it would be perfectly sufficient to write your comment once, as you already did on this page. However, I am serious about the investigation request because I have no time to deal with your dynamic IP again. Changing cited text to something else is against the very pillar of Misplaced Pages that is WP:CITE. It should be dealt with. Tankred 22:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, of course. I never disputed it. My problem is wth your style, and behave against me. Please don't act like if you still don't know what my real problem is with you. Again, yes, should be dealt with, if I make a mistake, I should be warned, but not in your style - warning templates, "reverting vandalism by VinceB", continuous accusations and denunciations on every possible forum, showing single mistakes as continuous purposed behave etc. this list would be too long. You are agressive, hostile, and highly uncivil, and seemingly you have some personal vindictiveness or whatever childish thing against me. And you simply can not stop. Just look at yr userpage. I put similar thing to my userpage, with difflink, and wanted to put more links to them, when I was angry, but I didn't do it, moreover I removed it when you asked for it. See the difference? You do the same calmly, so you can avoid being blocked for edit warring. It is impossible to talk normally with you - for me at least. You are full with fixa ideas, and you project them all into me. You think that I'm a kind of far right scum, or whatever, wich weaks up, and falls asleep with the Turul, and wants revision and Justice to Hungary and whatever. And this is a fuckin' big lie, and has nothing to do with the real me. Same stands to PANONIAN. Juro's rhetorics and believes partially sticked on you also. I'm researching the question, wich is an awesomly huge difference. this is also mentioned on my userpage, almost from the first time, since I started to use this account instead of being an IP and doing such (mainly routine) activities, like this or this. My only reason, why I use an account is that IPs are not counted as a human in English Misplaced Pages. If they are reverted, noone would check the revert's right. "Sorry, no time for this, buddy". Well, at least it is clearly proved, that it's the same with usernames also, so there's not as a big difference as I thought. I can rename and create articles. Wow. This is the only + what I get, when logged in. And tracking users, whom revert everthing what they can from my contribs, not even caring it's content, or rightness.

And yes, I can't stand dilettantism, or pushing obvious lies, and/or fakes no matter with how many sources - their writer counts only, and they are checkable by everybody -, and I'm pretty short tempered wich leads to hurt some ppl, whom I did not wanted to. --Vince 00:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the above rant has no claims to investigate (no diffs to policies Tankred or PANONIAN have broken). As such it seems to be a violation of WP:NPA itself and I concur with Tankred that its seems like a 'revenge' for him repoting Vince's violations above. I'd ask Vince to remove (strike out) this request and apologize for it; otherwise I think we may have a case of personal attack (false accusations and such) to deal with.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  21:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Sam Wereb (talk · contribs) has been following me around wikipedia editing anything I have written and undermining all my edits, he has become a serial pest. He has made bold personal attacks in the past followed up recently by snide comments in an attempt to provoke some outburst that will never come. Sam Wereb (talk · contribs) is frequently sarcastic about other editor's good faith editing; for example, referring to "Mikey's little article" when I put a well-referenced article (Ernest Emerson) up for Good Article review , prior to this he unsuccessfully tried to delete a large well referenced portion calling it "spam,spammity spam" because it contained a single link to the subject's website and his belief that mere mention of any company is advertising, even when the article is about the company in question. When JzG (talk · contribs), SandyGeorgia (talk · contribs) and Jeffpw (talk · contribs) pointed out to him that my edits to Ernest Emerson were not spam and were very well-referenced, he condescendingly replied with, " All very cozy -- and irrelevant". He has been warned in the past by Durova (talk · contribs) (his libelous accusations against me are archived on the WP:PAIN )around 11/18/2006-11/20/2006, %28aeropagitica%29 (talk · contribs) , and Jeffpw (talk · contribs) , and myself yet he simply blanks his talk page, removing indications of past behavior without archiving. I've offered links to wiki: civil, and have tried working with this caustic individual to no avail. One of his latest tactics is to call wikilinks to other wikipedia articles I have worked on as spam and advertising. He has personally posted objections to the length of the Knife entry, yet the only change he has made was to lead people away from an article I have written that is linked from there Walker linerlock.

There's plenty of other constructive work he could do on wikipedia if he's got too much time on his hands. He's turned this into a vendetta for whatever reason. Please investigate this stalker-like behavior. I just want it to stop so I can continue to be a positive contributor and not have to check on every last article I've written or contributed to just because of Wereb's histrionic outbursts and blatant vandalism.

A simple comparison of his history against mine will confirm this.

Thank you. --Mike Searson 10:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Piotrus,

Here's one: Calls me "Mikey Boy" as if he's talking to a child, 4-5 days ago. Calls me a "girlscout" 4 days ago for referring him to WP:Civil. Same time period, libels a list of celbrities who own another knifemaker's knives:, refers to my article as a "love letter":

Calls me a "shill" for my friends:

It may seem petty to an outside observer, but wereb started life on Misplaced Pages with an agenda , which he lied about when confronted with it and tried to hide it: And it's all an attempt to derail a GA Nomination. I would like to just ignore this person, I've offered several attempts to work constructively with him, to no avail. Latest tactic is to libel magazine writers in a lame attempt to discredit the source material: perhaps that's better than him deleting 1/3 of an article under GA review, but why should I have to defend sources who are professional journalists in Cutlery trade publications that have been around for 30+years?

I made this report a 5 days ago, wereb has not been around for a few days, but I am sure this will resume when he returns. All it does is keep me from positively contributing to articles and forces me to debate him. --Mike Searson 22:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

SNIyer12 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

I honestly don’t know if this is the right place to put this, however, Misplaced Pages:Requests for administrator attention says this page is the place to report “serial pests”, and SNIyer12 definitely qualifies as that, while I’m not sure if s/he is an “obvious vandal”. When I was a far more active editor, I was frustrated by this user so much that I started an RfC which unfortunately failed to garner much comment either way—including from the user, even though s/he was informed on his/her talkpage. Based on recent additions to the RfC which I noticed in my Watchlist, and on this recent comment on the aforementioned user-talk page (which, as usual, the editor has failed to respond to), I felt it was time to seriously seek admin help in dealing with this problem. --WikidSmaht (talk) 18:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I have left that user a note to reply to RfC. If s/he does not, and continues to disruptivly edit those articles, I think a ban may be in order. On the other hand, since that user seems to be doing edits to other articles that seem to mostly constructive, perhaps a WP:MEDIATION may be helpful? Personaly I dislike RfCs as they rarely produce a concluson (your case with the user refusing to reply seems to be an exception, though).-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Mediation is a socond-step dispute resolution process. At the time I filed the RfC, I was under the impression that mediation requests were being turned down unless a first-step process had been completed. Then, s/he never replied to the RfC( in fact, almost no one did) and I ended up becoming inactive on Misplaced Pages. I may try to file a mediation request, but I fear that s/he will again ignore it, not even explicitly refusing to participate. Although, I suppose that inaction in and of itself could make the issue eligible for arbitration. --WikidSmaht (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

A review of Wellreadone's user contributions indicates a history of subtle vandalization of articles. He removes tags such as "unreferenced" from articles without comment and replaces information with bogus information not verified by sources (eg he overwrote the previous biography replacing "Marcello I'm Bored" with "I'm So Bored" and included a large section of writing and directing credits many of which are not included in the person's IMDB listing). He has also deleted his own user talk page to remove negative comments and vandalism warnings by editors (these comments are visible by reviewing the history page). Had the user on my watch list from a couple of months ago as well due to similar behavior that is cropping up again now in January.

Because of copyvio. He ignores all attempts to contact him or do anything against the copyvio in Kim Mehmenti-article. Now he also uses his user talk for the copyvio. Also works as IP and not only here but also in the other wikis. In the German wiki known as Benutzer:Semimk, in the Albanian one he uses the same as here. In the German wiki we wrote an article to stop him and now we only have to remove the pictures now and then. As far as I've seen the Bulgarian wiki has done the same.

I request that the above user be investigated for violating the policy on vandalism, especially filing reports rather than using dispute resolution to get the facts discussed rather than trying to delete the facts, user used vandalism criteria and complained and got IP user 75.15.203.99 banned, while the facts that were posted were not only true but taken from other articles on wikipedia. I think the facts should be checked from a neutral point of view

trueblood 01:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Multiple users found that edits by an anonymous user operating under IP 75.15.203.99 constituted vandalism. I documented these and requested the block, which was reviewed and granted by administrator (aeropagitica). The same anonymous user appears to have then switched to IP 75.15.204.215 and continued vandalizing articles. Other editors have since reverted these edits. Given the record of vandalism and uncivil behaviour by User:Trueblood786, I wonder if User:Trueblood786 may have been the anonymous editor in question and sought to avoid accountability by editing under the IPs mentioned above.

Other editors who have acted on the vandalism in question include User:Eagle 101 and User:The Haunted Angel (both recipients of multiple barnstars including The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar) and User:Eliyahu S. -- Aylahs 02:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The only things I have deleted from MY own talkpage that were left by you or your sockpuppets in what I perceived as bad faith or are issues have been sorted out - plus I will delete any edits made from unregistered sockpuppets--Vintagekits 00:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

No, you have removed warning messages from other users from your talk page such that other users cannot see you have already been warned about certain things - such as personal attacks. This means users continue to give you just warnings, unaware that you should fully understand what you are doing is wrong, given the pervious warnings. Thus, you can continue to get away with what you are doing - principally being uncivil. Logoistic 23:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

NB My sockpuppets are legitimate. Logoistic 23:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

You only admitted they were sockpuppets AFTER I left the sockpuppet tag on your page. I removed your edits on my talk page as I considered them to be left in bad faith. I consider that your (and your various sockpuppets) treatment of me is coming close to harrassment and I am trying to stay away from you and not get drawn into edit wars or arguements with you but you are making it very difficult.--Vintagekits 00:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

This user is a persistant abuser of wrestling related articles and is a constant nuisance. He was reported for vandalism but the reporter was told it was a content dispute. As is visible from both his talk page, and the WP:PW talk page he has been asked many times to stop and read the WP:PW guidelines, then told, then warned. Yet he continues to ignore everything and persist with his disruptive edits; any help would be useful. DavyJonesLocker 00:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

this person has gone crazy. i don't know how many more accounts he has created so far. check out his contribs, he is doing nothing, but to revert and revert. and he is reverting the same thing that gunslinger47 and tjstrf were reverting. this guy has obsessive compulsive disorder, someone should look into those three accounts, you will find that those three accounts have similar partners, updating similar articles, and most importantly, reverting like a crazy man. he does not care what that article is, all he cares is to revert after revert. that is serious vandalism. he has been reverting the same articles for last few days.

check out Government of China, he used the name gunslinger47 to vandalize. then he used the user name someguy0830 again to vandalize the same article again. he has gone crazy! someone should suspend all those three accounts. it is the same person who is doing the same reverting.

he has reverted this single page for the FOURTH time already.

He reverts any constructive edits, in spite of consensus from outside admins and long-time editors, to retain a 'attack' section called Controversy in the IIPM article, which is on a large educational institution, and possibly is covered under the 'living persons' category, as the Misplaced Pages article affects the lives of its students directly.

This user has repeatedly removed maintenence templates from a page s/he created (Guatemalan Fir), which is in desperate need of cleanup and sources. I have left requests for him/her to stop, and later warnings to stop, on this user's talk page many times. The user has not acknowledged them, nor stopped removing the templates. I don't think that the editor is intentionally being a vandal, but after multiple warnings I don't know what else to do. --Icarus 19:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

• While this user has not logged in to edit the page in quite some time, a string of anonymous IP addresses have continued to remove the maintenence templates. It is very obviously the same user, as other edits to the article follow the same patterns as well. I continue to do what cleanup I can, and I don't know what more can be done by me or anyone, but I thought that as my earlier request was still on this page, I should leave this update lest it appear that the problem has been resolved just because the user is working anonymously now. --Icarus 22:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

XL8RTION continues the exact same pattern of behavior on the article that caused the issues in the past week and a block of the article.

Looking at this user's block log, he was previously blocked by Friday on the 9th of Dec. 2006 for problem editing. I initially contacted Friday, but have not received a response. Soccerguy1039 is continuing his disruptive edits, refusing to sign comments, then removing the {{unsigned2}} templates that other users place next to his comments . Several users have asked him to stop, yet he continues. I believe he is also operating a sockpuppet by the name Emokid200618 (talk · contribs). Their contribs are identical, including the removal of unsigned templates on Talk:Final Fantasy XIII . Soccerguy1039 and Emokid200618 have also made identical edits on Template:Kingdom Hearts series (Soccer = ; Emokid = ). Emokid has also vandalized George W. Bush, though it was a minor nuisance. ( ) Apologies if this is the incorrect place to report this, but it doesn't seem to fit WP:AN, it isn't obvious vandalism (WP:AIV) and isn't only about sockpuppets.

Category:Anti-Semitic people Vote

There was a recent Vote to change the +cat name from Category:Anti-Semitic people to Category:Antisemitic people and it was decided to keep the hyphen. Hashomer has moved the category anyway and without any further vote. In addition, the editor has changed the link at the articles in the category. Would you please move the category back and have the editor revert back all the changes made to each article linking to the new category Category:Antisemitic people. Thank you 69.156.78.94 12:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

My apologies, I'm a new user and this was an honest mistake. I noticed that the parent category used the spelling Antisemitic for instance "Category:Antisemitism" and that the article on the subject was Antisemitism. I thought retaining the hyphen in the Anti-Semitic people category name was just an oversight and it would just be a housekeeping change to move it over since most encyclopedias try to be consistent in their spelling. I was unaware of the vote in November otherwise I would have left well enough alone. I will revert the move now. Hashomer 19:36, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Cheekychops (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

I would suggest a warning be given to User:Cheekychops as he has repeatedly edited living person biographies to add comments stating that various male actors are actually "gay and are dating casting director Lee Dennison". When these entries are removed by other editors he repeatedly replaces them. He cites fake sources and even when confronted continues to insist that the citation is genuine, or alternatively suggest a different citation, resulting in more work for other contributers to disprove him yet again. Examples of this vandalism include

1. Many edits to Colin Farrell
2. Vin Diesel
3. Ron Livingston
4. Mark Anstee
5. Rob James-Collier

In light of the potentially defamatory nature of these comments, and the sheer number of them, perhaps it would be wise to block this user?

The "Lee Dennison" mentioned in all these quotes seems to have also existed for a short time as User:LeeDennison who created a vanity article about himself which was subsequently deleted. I think this is the same user as User:Cheekychops.

The user has also added many other entries referring to "Lee Dennison" to various articles.

First user name got a Test4, and I gave the second a blatantvandal warning last night. Checking the second name's contribs brought me to the spurious articles Fisherman's Choice and Bailey's Creek Fisherman's Challenge. I tagged them as hoaxes, and 68.39.174.238‎ tagged them for speedy, which apparently went through today. Lord Tortiville II has already recreated the Bailey article. Neither account has many edits. The first one made some to automotive articles, which I didn't look at; the other has basically only touched Back to the Future and the two nonsense articles.

Actually there were more edits on the newer name, but they appear to have been rolled back or something.

User:Media anthro and User:Squeakbox

I've had a user come to the mulatto board making constant changes. When I left him a personal note on his user talk, he responded to me on his own talk page. The only way I knew he did that was I went back to explain another edit I did. I told him that if he needed to leave me a message he needed to leave it for me on MY page, not his. He finally figured it out and posted a message on my page saying something about he would block me because he was an edittor. He's a new user and in no way was I vandalising, he was. I told him I would report him for both vandalism and harassment because there was nothing to show he was an editor. Then some guy named User:Squeakbox contacted me saying that administrators would block me if I reported User:Media anthro saying he wasn't an editor because he really was.

Hi there, been trying to dissuade freescotlandparty from repeatedly removing justifiable and referenced material from the Free Scotland Party page. He makes no attempt to justify this in return but simply keeps reverting. I have posted notes on the edit history log but I'm not competent enough to use the presribed templates. I did leave a message on the obvious vandal section but it looks as though it might not have been acted upon (possibly because the warning procedure wan't followed correctly). The users name is identical to the page name so I can only assume that he's deliberately censoring material he doesn't like. Can someone please help warn the user correctly or take further action. Thanks.

This user has been reported here but I'm not sure if this may be a better place to do it. This user has been nothing but a nuisance since coming onboard. The user continues to personally attack other editors because he does not agree with them. The warnings have been low key and subtle in hopes to assist him become a better contributor. I really feel this user needs to be heavily scrutinized. He is not contributing but is in fact creating issues on Misplaced Pages violating disrupting wikipedia to make your point. His adoptive editor recently un-adpoted him (Dispute page), because nothing was changing. He has been blocked twice for various things. I feel that he needs some stronger guidance in order to help him become a positive contributor to Misplaced Pages. Several editors have mentioned that it is highly likely, though not conclusively proven by checkuser, to be the users last account, Perspicacious (talk · contribs). If you follow the trail, you will note that this user has not been a positive contributor. He has consistently attacked editors and he's turned his personal talk page into something to talk about editors he doesn't agree with. He has consistently misquoted and misrepresented what other editors have said (see and for examples) Polite suggestions and invitations to learn the policies, ask questions, warnings, etc., have all failed. Instead user tries to turn around policies to fit his agenda and attack disagreeing editors. If you take a look at his user page and talk page you will see this.

To add my input, this user has shown absolutely no sign of relenting. Even while blocked, he continues to make accusations and attacks against not only the editors who registered repeated complaints, but also the editor who tried to adopt him, and now the administrator who imposed the block. Every attempt to deal reasonably with this individual has resulted in utter failure, as he tends to compulsively blame and demean others who disagree with him, often resorting to misrepresenting them on numerous Misplaced Pages pages in attempts to prove his position. Hours and days have been wasted in dealing with his individual's numerous disruptive contributions, and his presence has become a significant drain on both the human and electronic resources of this community. Thank you for your time. Zahakiel 05:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

User is really bad at editing and makes ridiculous spelling errors and changes dates and numbers without citing any sources. —Centrx→talk • 03:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

User is still editing in a broken fashion. It's hard to tell if his additions are in good-faith, but they are questionable and without sources unverifiable, and they are full of spelling and grammatical errors, etc. I have advised him about this on his talk page. Even if this user is acting in good faith, he may be doing more harm than good. —Centrx→talk • 13:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
