Hitlists

• User:GoRight/Notes
• User:GoRight/Harassment

Fomenting edit wars

• (James Hansen, August 19)
• {{fact}} bombing the Global warming FAQ - (including one for a statement that greenland is covered in ice)
• Using false BLP claims to whitewash Robert M. Carter
• The Deniers, Jaunary 9,

Original research

• Attempting to remove a statement sourced to a peer reviewed pub-med journal based on his own original research -

Canvassing

• Canvassing for support on his ANI ban discusison

Wikilawyering

• Arguing about the procedures for imposing the community ban -
• Arguing about the scope of his ban -
• Arguing about whether or not his reverts were actually reverts -
• Arguing against a properly applied community ban on Rothwell ("My thought is that you're wikilawyering excessively." - Jehochman)

Revert warring

During the ANI community ban discussion, GoRight claimed he would in the future adhere to a 1rr. This was a lie designed to make people more sympathetic to him and less likely to support the community ban:

• James Hansen, August 19, 1 2
• The Deniers, January 9, 1 2
• Reverting warring to include a misquotation (which was originally added by a Scibaby sock) on the James Hansen article
• James Hansen, March 2
• Capitol Power Plant, March 10. Reverts to restore edit made by Scibaby about snow at a global warming protest.

Misinterpreting Misplaced Pages policy

• Claims that using other sources to support Hansen's claim of energy industry funding deniers is original research
• Claims that his reverts weren't actually reverts according to 0rr -
• Using false BLP claims to whitewash Robert M. Carter
• GoRight supports Abd's claims that Jzg's administrative actions on the cold fusion articles were inappropriate. The arbitration committee later found these accusations meritless and Jzg's actions fully supported by policy.
• Claims reverting a banned user's edits violates arbcom decision pertaining to removal of sourced information. His claims are contradicted by the banning policy. (Anyone is free to revert any edits made in defiance of a ban. By banning a user, the community has decided that their edits are prima facie unwanted and may be reverted without any further reason. This does not mean that obviously helpful edits (such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism) must be reverted just because they were made by a banned user, but the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert. - WP:BAN)

Political back-scratching

• After Abd makes comments supportive of GoRight on the RFC and ANI discussion, GoRight shows up on a discussion he has never show any interest in to support Abd's advocacy . Then, after Abd is banned, GoRight lobbies to get Abd unbanned
• GoRight supports Abd's claims that Jzg's administrative actions on the cold fusion articles were inappropriate. The arbitration committee later found these accusations meritless and Jzg's actions fully supported by policy.

Using talk pages as soap-boxes

• Baiting other editors
• Referring to climatologists as "AGW scientologists"

NPOV violations

BLP violations

• Adds Fred Singer's CV as a source to his biography (while hypocritically claiming that Real Climate is not a reliable source, despite discussion on BLPN that found otherwise.)
• Reverting warring to include a misquotation (which was originally added by a Scibaby sock) on the James Hansen article

Sockpuppetry?

• user:LFOD - sockpuppet pops up in the middle of GoRight's ANI discussion to defend him (sockmaster unknown)

Meatpuppetry on behalf of banned users

Users are generally expected to refrain from reinstating edits made by banned users in violation of the ban, and such edits may be viewed as meatpuppetry. Users who reinstate such edits take complete responsibility for the content by so doing. - Misplaced Pages:Banning policy. user:Scibaby was banned from Misplaced Pages after he was caught using numerous sockpuppets to whitewash Wikiepdia's articles on global warming. GoRight has, on numerous occasion, revert warred to include Scibaby's edits, even when those edits were demonstrably false.

Examples:

• Tim Ball, March 17-18 2009: Scibaby edits Tim Ball's article to make false claims.. Scibaby is reverted. GoRight revert wars to include it, claiming Scibaby's edit is true. GoRight is proven wrong.
• Capitol Power Plant, March 11 2009: Scibaby adds biased, irrelavant information to an article. It's reverted. GoRight revert wars and later claims his revert wasn't a revert.
• A new account, user:Barstoole, starts editing Misplaced Pages articles, inserting inflammatory or misleading statements pertaining to global warming. In some cases, these edits are word-for-word identical to edits made by previously blocked Scibaby sockpuppets. . GoRight then complains that previous checkuser evidence pertaining to sockpuppetry was manufactured, implying that the word-for-word identical edits are just a coincidence. Subsequent investigation by Nishkid shows that Barstoole is one of 15 newly registered scibaby accounts.. GoRight continues claiming the evidence is fabricated until informed that Nishkid made the identification. Raul654 (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Miscellaneous dickery

• Rewriting the history of his own misbehavior - Months after the RFC is closed, GoRight adds a "closing statement" at the top falsely claiming that the community sanction did not originate from the RFC.
• Edit warring on this evidence page -
