I endorse this request. I was alerted to his activity last night via AIV, and while reviewing his contributions discovered that many of the articles he'd created had been flagged for AfD due to being possible hoaxes.

A classic case of ]--the only reason I didn't indef him myself was because the articles just barely escaped G3 territory in my mind. While the user is now blocked, I agree that a sweep of the IP and any others he used is necessary due to the level of disruption. ]] 18:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC) I endorse this request.

JARIAN

  • Supporting evidence:

I just blocked JARIAN after another editor noticed that he had been creating some rather subtle hoax articles about a spate of actors, then inserting references to those imaginary actors into other articles. He sometimes made similar edits while logged-out. I am concerned that (due to the apparent editing skill of this vandal) he may be using other accounts either to practice or (worse) to further damage Misplaced Pages.

Hoax biographies included

These articles were typically presented in properly-formatted, internally-wikilinked style. Some included credible-looking infoboxes, bogus links to IMDb, and Misplaced Pages categories. An effort was made to further bolster the credibility of these hoaxes by adding references to these imaginary actors to our other articles. (A non-exhaustive set of examples: , , , , , , , .)

I endorse this request. I was alerted to his activity last night via AIV, and while reviewing his contributions discovered that many of the articles he'd created had been flagged for AfD due to being possible hoaxes. I blocked him for one month since he'd been blocked before for disruption, but TenofAllTrades ramped it up to indef after seeing that he'd engaged in a deliberate effort to bolster the credibility of these hoaxes. A classic case of gaming the system--the only reason I didn't indef him myself was because the articles just barely escaped G3 territory in my mind. While the user is now blocked, I agree that a sweep of the IP and any others he used is necessary due to the level of disruption. Blueboy96 18:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
