• Anglicanism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - Vaquero100 blanking comments on the talk page and violating 3RR on the main page. He and I have an ongoing dispute, and if I post a warning on his talk page, I'm afraid it will inflame the situation. Fishhead64 22:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Cj cawley (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) -- Constant adding his personal stories and other unsourced slanderous stuff ] also delete good edits on the article Falun Gong. Many many people (CovenantD, Miborovsky, myself, Mcconn, Omid) have complained and tried to stop him. But this still occurs. Please help or advise. Thanks. Fnhddzs 00:03, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

• Betathetapi545 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Abuse includes but is not limited to subtle but repeated and willful forms of antisemitism, vandalism, slander, intentionally confusing edit summaries, blatant POV violations, and disparaging edit summaries. This guy edits with Betathetapi545 and with several anon IPs, and the anon IPs are within a limited IP range of a UK ISP. Please see my user page, where I have documented what this guy has been doing since May. Three Misplaced Pages users are on patrol to revert his non-credible edits (which are almost 100% of his edits). Nova SS 04:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Robertsteadman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - User has been a Wikipedian since May 1, 2006. In this time he has been blocked once for violation of 3RR (see his talk page) and is responsible for this mess: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks. User also disrupted Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey#The_Big_Game in violation of WP:POINT and WP:TROLL. User has also been all over talk pages of the members of WP:HOCKEY who voted against his AFD. BoojiBoy 14:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Total misrepresntation. The 3RR was removed (and the 3RR is to be reported for an admin misusing their position). I was not responsible for the mess at the AfD - and I was invited to go along to the Wikiproject to find out more - this I have done to be met with abuse and personal attacks from the likes of BoojiBoy and User:DMighton. They want to use the project page as a chat room and want to fill WP with articles which come nowhere near to notability criteria - junior B ice hockey teams. This is a nonsense and their behaviour needs to be looked into - they are protecting pages for the sake of it, not entering into reasonable debate and not allowing newcomers to contribute. Robertsteadman 15:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• This guy is obsessive and vendictive. He has been following every major member of the WikiProject around for the last day, commenting on everything we say -- even if it has nothing to do with him or his AfD (seemingly lurking in our contribs lists). He has shown malicious intent, he given a lion's share of harrassment, forced most of us to loose the nessecary "Assumption of Good Faith", and just won't leave any of us alone. Heck, he's even declared war on all articles pertaining to sports and claims that he'll come after us first, citing the notablity essay as bible. Also, despite the 3RR issue being dropped, I personally approach the admin in question and was told me that I should be talking to the administration board about this user actions -- that this is not an isolated incident.

The editor has actually been editing since July 2005 (under various names). He is supposed to be under mentorship after being allowed back into the Wikiproject - in April he was blocked indefiniterly for using sockpuppets and making threats. Perhaps it might be best to contact his mentor regarding his failure to keep promises about behaving appropriately?

• Evidentally it did not work. Although, I do not think even the best mentor would curb this guy's behaviour. Especially with his specific targeting of specific groups on Misplaced Pages and his predatory nature, it makes me wonder if he really has anything positive to offer... DMighton 22:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

So much of the above is untrue and unfair. I might have been blocked for using sockpuppets but i NEVER ACTUALLY USED A SOCKPUPPET. And as for making threats - that is simply untrue and a statement which is trying to cause trouble. The real problem is that certain eitors don't like the idea that some of their articles are non-notable and do not want them deleted, They have meted out personal attacks which they were warned about (and some were rverted). I am trying to improve WP by getting rid of non-notable stuff such as Junior B ice hockey teams. Robertsteadman 05:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
