    Red crossThis is a failed proposal.
    Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.
    This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
    Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.
    ShortcutThis page is intended to get attention quickly when dealing with personal attacks. It is not intended to serve as a form of mediation or a type of RFC. Only Personal attacks are dealt with on this page, on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's No Personal Attacks policy

    For editors who want a personal attack situation reviewed:

    1. Consider that in most cases, ignoring the attack is better than requesting sanction against the attacker. Do not report people if you are likewise guilty of hostility towards them.
    2. Make sure the user has actually commited a personal attack. (Please note that "personal attacks" are defined only under the WP:NPA policy. If a statement is not considered a personal attack under the intended spirit of this policy, it does not belong here.)
    3. The editor must have been warned earlier. The {{npa2}}, and {{npa3}} templates may be appropriate for new users; for long-term editors, it's preferable to write something rather than using a standard template. Reports of unwarned editors may be removed.
    4. If the behavior hasn't stopped, add the following header to the New Reports section of this page in the following format:
      ==={{User|NAME OF USER}}=== replacing NAME OF USER with the user name or IP address concerned, with a brief reason for listing below. Be sure to include diffs.
    5. If an editor removes the IP or username and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the editor's talk page or the administrators' noticeboard, but do not re-list the user here.
    6. NB - Due to misunderstanding of these instructions and/or mis-use of this process, comments not in strict adhereance to these instructions WILL be removed. This page deals only with personal attacks under the policy WP:NPA. Reports deemed to be inappropriate for this page are liable to be moved to an appropriate venue where one exists.


    For those reported on this page:

    1. A reviewer or an administrator will review each report on this page. In dealing with the report, the contribution history of the reported user shall be checked along with the diffs provided in the report. Where no personal attack is evident, then no action will be taken - however, should an administrator see that another seperate issue is evident, appropriate action or advice for that issue may be taken/given at his or her discretion and in line with wiki policy.
    2. Reports on this page stand on their own merits in accordance with Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. As such, disputes and discussions over reports are not suitable for this page except for such comments left by admins or reviewers describing their actions and/or findings. If you notice your account reported at this page, please trust that the administrators and reviewers dealing with reports will deal with it in an even-handed and fair manner on the basis of policy alone. If you feel strongly that another "side to the story", issue, or another piece of information is missing from a report please refrain from posting here, and instead leave your comment on your talk page under the title NPA Report or another other clear and related title. The reviewing party will see this message and take it into account where applicable.

    For users handling assistance requests:

    1. For each of the users linked here, open their contributions and check for personal attacks. Also check if the users have been sufficiently warned for the current personal attack and whether they've continued to commit personal attacks after being warned.
    2. Note that there is an important difference between a user who makes many good contributions and a few personal attacks, and a user whose last edits are (nearly) all personal attacks or other conflict.
    3. Do nothing, warn them again, or, if you are an adminstrator, block the user in question as you think is required. Explain things carefully to the user who listed the attacker if you feel there's been a misunderstanding.
    4. Move the report to the Open Reports section and give an update to the status of the report.
    5. Delete old reports that have been dealt with.

    Please consider adding this page to your watchlist to make life easier for non-administrator RC-patrollers.

    • He may have continued attacks with a suspected IP address puppet while being blocked:
    • Now he's attacking via edit summaries. See:


    Sloveniaiscool (talk · contribs)

    Consistent non-compliance with WP:Civil, WP:No personal attacks and WP:Vandalism by Sloveniaiscool / Ljublonia / Slovenskidom / Thatindigokid. This editor has been seeding Misplaced Pages talk pages (specifically Talk:List of micronation, Talk:Micronation) with comments about a micronation known as Academe North for a number of months, suggesting that it should be included in WP. He has not made any other contribution to WP apart from this. He has been asked by myself and Georgewilliamherbert to provide references to support his claims. So far he has not provided any reliable references. In the last few days his comments have become more abusive, and he has begun vandalising my talk page by posting "warnings" in which he accuses me of abusing him, and of being uncivil. He has also posted a trolling comment on Talk: Empire of Atlantium, in the knowledge that I am a member of that organisation. In fact, all I've done is point out that he doesn't seem to know or care about WP's policies concerning verifiability, reliable references, civility, abuse or vandalism - and warning that if he continues to ignore these policies his account may be blocked. It would be useful if a third party (preferably an admin) could clearly explain WP policies to this editor. --Gene_poole 03:31, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    TweekThePunk (talk · contribs)

    Attacked me on his talkpage here after attacking the person who put Deletesys up for speedy deletion (i.e., me) here and receiving {{npa3}} for it. Veinor (ヴエノル) 23:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

    Note -- there is no more new problems since the {{npa3}}. If anything new happens feel free to report it here. —— Eagle 101 03:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
    Note The NPA was added on 17:34 at creation of his talkpage. He then edited his talkpage to add an attack approximately 13 minutes later. Veinor (ヴエノル) 14:10, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    Mak82hyd (talk · contribs)

    User:Mak82hyd was warned twice in response to personal attacks within the last few days. Attacks preceding the first warning include calling User:Jimfbleak a "psycho" and telling me "either u r a stupid or u r just islamophobic", referring to some imagined edits that I did not make in this AfD. In response to first warning, Mak82hyd restated his conviction about me, but I decided to just let him cool off. He has now gone on to call User:Ttiotsw "islamophobic" in spite of the warnings. I did not check every single edit that Ttiotsw has made lately, but I am pretty confident that this personal attack was entirely unwarranted (as I understand it personal attacks are always considered unwarranted on WP, regardless of circumstance). This attack against Ttiotsw was a couple of days ago but I just noticed it now; it was still very recent and it was just two days after the warnings. I expect the pattern to continue. As can be seen from his responses to me, Mak82hyd thinks I am an admin for some reason (I did not tell him or anyone that so I assume it was simply my use of templates), and has continued his attacks in spite of my warnings, so I do not believe that a real admin's stern warning alone will make any further difference. — coelacan talk20:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC) I n s e r t f o r m u l a h e r e {\displaystyle Insertformulahere}

    Guy (talk · contribs)

    Recieved 2 personal attacks on my discussion page as follows: "We recognise the difference between "sharing information" and promoting an interest. Apparently you do not. Guy (Help!)" 09:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC) Warned this user on the discussion board about the personal attack policy and again recieved another attack message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpritchard (talkcontribs)

    Out of curiosity, I just looked at the page. Nothing Guy posted was a personal attack. They were simple warnings regarding WP:NPOV, WP:SPAM, and possibly WP:SPA. jgp C 21:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


    AaronS (talk · contribs)

    "When so many people have to explain as simple a concept as this to a stubborn ideologue such as yourself..."

    He has been warned multiple times for personal attacks Anarcho-capitalism 15:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

    Ehhh... that's not exactly friendly, but unless it's part of an overwhelming trend, I'm not sure if it warrants a block. Luna Santin 21:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


    Ozgurgerilla (talk · contribs)

    Makes disptruptive Rv's using "Blasphemy" in edit-summary.Here. The idiom that he was used is plural, targeted all the users which have different view than this user. Must 19:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

    This user reverted, 3 times,warnings in its talk page already;here,here and here.Must 20:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

    I gave him a warning Alex Bakharev 21:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


    Theplanetsaturn (talk · contribs)

    I'm being called "liar", "hypocrite," being referred to sarcastically, and much, much more. The user was blocked on WP:3RR yesterday, is edit-warring with two editors at Jhonen Vasquez, and refuses to accept another editor's compromise solution.

    First warning given at User talk:Theplanetsaturn at 22:56, 13 December 2006 after attack at Talk:Jhonen Vasquez

    in which his comments included "lets take a look at your lies," "Perhaps it is the stink of your hypocrisy," and "you are a poor judge of character should rethink your career, Mr. Journalist."

    Another attack occured

    which inclued "Calling you a hypocrite is accurate. ... Your glass house must be getting chilly from all your casually thrown stones."

    I gave a second warning at User talk:Theplanetsaturn at 23:29, 13 December 2006. Please help. --Tenebrae 23:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Looks like he's still committed to discussion. You might consider an RfC regarding his behavior, but for now it looks like you'll all do better to try and work together. Consider dispute resolution, perhaps? Luna Santin 02:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


    Psychohistorian (talk · contribs)

    Much more extensive evidence of the long term pattern of personal attacks is given at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Psychohistorian. Fourdee 18:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Despite being repeatedly warned about ad hominem, user has added blatant personal attacks back to talk page, commiting personal attacks again. Fourdee 00:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

    Fourdee has not notified Psychohistorian of this report, but I have done so and responded as a semi-involved third party with a timeline and some perspective (notice and discussion). — Hu 04:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

    These don't seem like blatant personal attacks. Incivility, perhaps, but he's still making an effort to discuss the issue at large, as far as I can see. If you can establish this as part of a greater trend, in an RfC, or link to some more severe comments, I may be more inclined to take some action. Luna Santin 08:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    A quick examination of Psychohistorian's contributions indicates a wider pattern of much more abusive and uncivil comments on talk pages, all in the same vein - insulting the editor, or insulting their education. Again calling editors ignorant and accusing them of "bitching" , calling editor "paranoid" and "unreasonable" , says editor has "inferiority complex" , again insulting editor's education and implying editor has not reached the 11th grade , education & "put it at your level" , etc. Everywhere I look in his talk page edits there is personal abuse, and he has been warned about this previously . He knows the policies on civility and no personal attacks and chooses to disregard them. It seems to me he needs to be corrected by more than a warning. Fourdee 18:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    I don't know why you are witch-hunting Psychohistorian but I must say he's extremely cold (even too much for my taste). He virtually never engages in ad hominem discussions and many if not all of your alleged PAs can't be seen as such. Example: when he says that he dislikes that editors employ more time "bitching at each other" than working in the article, we can't but agree with him. When he says that "this fact seems to be eluding you", he's not calling the other editor (a pretty aggresive one, btw) "ignorant" as you claim, just expressing his frutration at the fact that he's not understood. When he says that "is a skill you should be pretty competent in by the time you reach 11th grade if you're in a good school system" he's not talking at the other editor but using a common generalistic form in English. Finally warns from Thulean/Lukas19 have no validity: that user has disqualified himself by systematically abusing the PA warn system on any minimal and even many imaginary slip. He doesn't discuss: he provokes you and waits for you to say anything that could even vaguely resemble a PA and then he places one or three warnings in your user talk page.
    In brief, you have nothing. --Sugaar 18:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
    Although he may be right, he is definitely using a language that is unessecarily confrontative. He should cool down, IMO. --Regebro 19:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)


    Darktrax577 (talk · contribs)

    This user beagn by a quick vandalisim to Greenday. This was corrected by AlmightyDavi (talk · contribs) Dartrax577 then began to attack Davi and repeatdly vandalized his userpage. He recently added this: Hello, I am Fag Davi™. Do not question my life style. Today, 29 December 2005, is my first day out of the closet on Misplaced Pages. I have made it my duty for now to cleanup some of the articles on Anne Rice's novels, and throw in some articles on how gay sex is a beautiful thing, and God loves us all. I am brand new to all of this stuff, so for now, patience.

    Datktrax577 has also said on Davi's page that Davi hated GreenDay. He has vandalized his vandalized his page numerous times and continues to do so.

    He has vandalized no less than 16 pages blanked numerous pages and has signed numerous pages as Craig Adams. As in ""Ban me please! Craig Adams is the man you are a big fat flan."" on User talk:Jvtostinha page.

    He is also in the habit of going to various Admin pages and asking them to ban him. Always signing it Craig Adams.

    I also believe that he may be using his IP adress to attack people as wellUser:209.66.192.143 The attacks have the same style and he has vandalized many of the same pages. and also seems to have a vendetta against Davi. --St.daniel 01:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

    Just vandalized Luna Santin or your page. I left you a message on your disscussion but this is just in case you missed it.--St.daniel 21:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


    Mael-Num (talk · contribs)

    A habitual crosser of the line, attacked Moncrief here and me here. Fully unrepentant, arguing that calling me a "dishonest and single-minded user" was "a statement of fact"

    You do realize that your obscurantism on the matter, which any admin worth his salt will surely research on his own, merely verifies that you aren't being wholly honest, with the admins, on the Derek Smart Talk page, and most importantly, with yourself. Completely omitted were the facts that you engaged in revert warring over archived discussions that weren't even concluded yet and then lied about the outcome consensus of those discussions. All of this was done following a previous discussion, which had already reached the same conclusion (the one you distorted).
    I'd recommend you follow the advice you've already been given and, among other things, participate in the discussion istead of attempt to override it. Just because the truth describes you in a negative light, it doesn't make it a personal attack. Mael-Num 01:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Appears to be an abusive sockpuppet of one of the recently blocked edit warriors on the page. Support an indef block. --InShaneee 05:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

    Gene Poole (talk · contribs)

    User gene poole has continually personal attacked me on the micronations talk page, after I persistently warned him to stop and I suggested he follow wikipedia's etiquette and civility policies he deleted the warning and started to accuse me of personnel attacking him on my talk page and started to threaten a report and block of my user account, this user just seams to be looking for a fight. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Sloveniaiscool 00:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

    Please provide diffs to support this report. I'll look over their contribs, when I have some more time, but since you're more familiar with the situation, you're more likely to know exactly what to look for. See WP:DIFF, the help desk, or use a {{helpme}} on your user talk page if you need any assistance with that. Thanks. Luna Santin 08:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
