    IP addresses

    Do not report obvious vandalism here; see Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Only report IP addresses that are engaged in complicated, deceptive vandalism that will require more than a few moments for an administrator to analyse. Please read the policies, guidelines, and procedures before reporting.

    Sockpuppetry. Socks revert good faith and constructive edits made on a daily basis, and falsely accuse such actions as being vandlaism. It has become incresingly difficult to get work done with this silliness. Socks wikistalk my contributions and solely revert edit for the intent of disruption. I've filed a checkuser request for this , though in the event the check is inconclusive, the actions of said "editors" are still very disruptive. Wikistalking is a blockable offense. -Zero 07:48, 20 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)
    • 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)
