    • Paul R. Ehrlich biography is currently biased and has been vandalized with bias since 2003. Ehrlich is Stanford population biologist warning of overpopulation in bestsellers such as THE POPULATION EXPLOSION (1990). Look at long history of edits since 2003, and extensive discussion page: Religious extremists against birth control, who deny existence of overpopulation, repeatedly vandalized webpage with propaganda slanted against Ehrlich. I edited a dozen times before giving up. Current version is still biased POV: As a biography it barely mentions five decades of Ehrlich's accomplishments or other books Ehrlich wrote. IE, he is world's foremost expert on butterfly population dynamics. Biography is overwhelmed by several paragraphs of "criticisms" of overpopulation theory. Criticisms should be limited to one paragraph, yet criticisms can be found in every sentence throughout biography, and CRITICISMS section is biggest section of biography, and centered on webpage. I re-wrote it several times but religious extremists repeatedly vandalize and revert. It should be re-written with more objective point of view and include subject's five decades of accomplishments. It needs warning flags and should be locked to prevent future biased vandalism. 209.78.98.26 22:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
    • The Mitt Romney article was significantly altered within the last two or three months, probably by someone connected with the Romney campaign. The page reads like a piece of campaign literature and contains numerous links to official Romney press releases as its "sources", as well as several glossy photographs of Romney conducting "official" business, plus most criticism of Romney has been removed. A neutrality tag has finally been added to the page, but as it may have been changed by a Romney staffer, I believe a full investigation is required. The glossy photographs were added by User:Waverider5, whose editing history is almost entirely concerned with the Romney article.
    • 152.163.101.8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) - is an AOL proxy IP address. A user behind this address carried out possible vandalism (which went unnoticed for 2 months!) but has apparently stopped. 69.140.173.15 02:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
    • The Profile Page for the Federal Bureau of Investigation was Vandalized - Federal Bureau of Investigation I'm not going to fix it because: 1) I'm not sure how to 2) The last time I made a valid contibution the Wiki someone (a flaming queer per his profile) came along and undid my edit then accused me of spaming.

    Please see Rashad Khalifa and its discussion page. The guy's name is AHMAD NISHITOBA. Ahmad Nishitoba predicted an earthquake to hit two days ago in S.F., 1/19/07, and quickly changed the prediction yet again to 11/9/07 - this has been way more than half a dozen predictions coming out empty handed. He has absolutely nothing to do with Rashad Khalifa, and he has vandalised the article over 20 times in the last few months. It's getting ridiculous!

    This IP seems to be used only for trolling. As of yet, all of his/her edits must be considered as deceptive vandalism. After a warning on his talk page (and a rev of his 2nd edit), the IP not only repeated the vandalising edit, but also made in the edit summary a deliberately false statement (rv to last Rev by Shell Kinney) and a defamatory, insulting claim (due to vandalism by antipapist Túrelio), thereby violating WP:NPA. --Túrelio 13:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

    IP editor hasn't edited since Jan 12. Perhaps IP address has cycled or they gave up? ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    81.223.23.159 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This IP seems to be being used only for trolling. From day 1 all of the edits seem trollish and I'm seeing textbook trolling activity on my talk page and others. I'm trying not to feed it (he got me for one round) but I also don't want to leave the comments on my talk page. The IP was blocked on 21 DEC 2006 but the user talked his way out of it. The policy doesn't state whether this is a blockable offense but someone reading this will know better than I. -- Mufka 15:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

    Dosn't seem likly that the IP is realy a school (seems like one user). The user apears to be young. Good news is that the user hasn't edited since the 17th and nothing realy disruptive for a while. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    I am looking for some help in a little edit war that has been going on with an anonymous user on the Cogswell College page. He/She has already reverted 3 times, and there is no page in which to come to a compromise, or speak about how the article can satisfy both parties.

    My own revisions actually have the proof listed--satisfying any point of view additions--which was a description of a complaint, and a link to where the complaint was filed...and who was involved with the complaint.

    I am looking for a third party to look into the matter. Joel Lindley 07:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

    This sounds like a content dispute that ended a week ago. RFI is not the right place for content disputes. Incidentally, I'm not sure what you mean by "there is no page in which to come to a compromise". Why not Talk:Cogswell College? —Wknight94 (talk) 23:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    Might be a spambot. are all from this static IP-address, the same thing in other languages ( for example; I just cleaned de-WP where it didn't react when asked to stop). Perhaps someone who knows about this stuff can put the domain on the blacklist? NoCultureIcons 01:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC) P.S.: Sorry if I didn't do this right, I don't know much about how to do stuff on enWP, just trying to find someone who does. P.P.S.: It's interesting to look at this IP's contributions on es, pt, fi, sv, it etc., it all looks quite the same

    This doesn't look like a spambot since it's adding the link in different places in different articles. (Spambots typically blank entire pages with spam or add spam to the end or beginning of an article or talk page). I threw a {{spam3}} on their talk page even though s/he hasn't edited in over a week. Looks pretty benign. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    139.76.128.71 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This person has repeatedly edited Mei Lan (the panda cub), changing the translation of her name from "Atlanta Beauty" to "Beautiful Orchid". While the latter name is one transliteration of the Chinese characters, it is not the intended meaning of her name. I've reverted the change twice (on different days), written notices on the IP's talk page and the article's talk page, and, added an explanation of the transliteration in the article —— all to no effect. This person must have very strong feelings about the translation, but it is still a PPOV. I don't know how to get through to them. tess 22:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    Multiple IPs in the 167.128.0.0/16 network

    Anon. user at 167.128.59.219 was blocked due to vandalizing Corvallis High School (Oregon) after repeated warnings regarding vandalism of other pages. Since then, that article has been further vandalized by anon. user(s) at the other two IP addresses. --LarryGilbert 22:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

    All IPs reverse-resolve to hostnames in the corvallis.k12.or.us subdomain. --LarryGilbert 22:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    Additional vandalism from 167.128.54.210 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). --LarryGilbert 00:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

    24.63.203.132 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    Person has been repetitively vandalizing multiple pages that I have been working on improving (In specific, Angel (Lilo & Stitch) and other pages in that catagory) by adding incorrect information and re-adding it after it is removed, and has ignored all my requests for citing his sources or discussing the issue with me on the talk page. There was once much more incorrect information on the pages in specific, but after many weeks my editing persistance has gotten the person to only add one bit of incorrect information per edit. Because the person still re-adds the incorrect information, and sometimes re-adds it seconds after I correct it and several times in a short period, I think the person is purpously vandalizing the articles to get on my nerves. I believe that the IP is always the same person since he/she always works on the same catagories of pages. Other people have told me that the person is an "obvious vandal" and that I should consider seeking a ban, and he/she has been blocked twice before, once very recently. I posted this ban request earlier on the "obvious" page and was told "It looks like this person stopped", but since then the person has re-vandalized a page I corrected, despite warnings to stop. Please reconsider my request. Miriam The Bat 03:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

    Is also continually re-inserting incorrect text into Mater and List of experiments from Lilo & Stitch despite multiple warnings, including a final warning. Rhindle The Red 17:02, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    24.183.40.221 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    This user is apparently a grammar and spelling stickler. When this user comes across article talk pages the user edits other people's comments, mainly for small grammar and spelling mistakes.

    This user also appears to use 24.14.139.44 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (see talk page), and Mysterypaw and 66.191.117.215 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (see talk page). This user also appears to use *Ruby (see talk page). (As of this time, these usernames have made no contributions).

    The problem is not only that this user has edited other people's comments on talk pages. First it's that the user is systematically doing this. Second it's that this user has who knows how many IP addresses and I'm not sure how to warn or watch this user. Third is the issue of the user accounts. I have no idea if these are are this user's accounts. This user starts by signing with various fancy text sigs (i.e. "××××Mysterypaw××××") before moving to signing with a wiki sigMysterypaw. If this user doesn't actually have these accounts (they belong to someone else or haven't been created in the case of *Ruby) but is signing with them anyway, that's a whole other can of worms.

    I previously reported this user at AIV. This led to a discussion which was moved to the discussion page and then to the archives. TStein 09:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

    This user is also either 65.95.6.123 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) aka Turtlepaw, or, this user just edited 65.95.5.123's talk page comment not just for capitalization, but for username as well.
    This users edits are also harmful. Here the user edited other people's comments for content, changing the flow of a past discussing (user 1 says A and B, user 2 says no, it's B and C, and 24.183.40.221 changed the discussion so that it read user 1 says B and C and user 2 says no, it's B and C).
    I'm also guessing that this user is also 67.71.43.206 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), an IP with one edit (fixing typos on a talk page that this user was working on) that also originates from Ontario, Canada, where 65.95.6.123 originates from.
    Obviously, this is a really complicated case. This user moves a fair amount or at least accesses the internet lots of places, and is claiming lots of user accounts that haven't been created and that someone else will have one day. I don't know how to solve this problem, but from the IPs of the user I can connect, the user hasn't really seemed to take breaks from editing--the user has just edited elsewhere. I urge that this manner be investigated and dealt with. TStein 02:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
    On this page the user went so far as to delete information on the talk page. This deletion wasn't caught or restored in the next edits, but must have been fixed at some point because it is in the archives for the talk page. In the next edit, the user gave up on the name "Rainpool" and changed all instances of "Rainpool" to "Mysterypaw"--including where other people had replied to "Rainpool". TStein 02:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


    • This user is still vandalizing talk pages. I've also now stumbled across Special:Listusers and checked all of the accounts that I know this user to have signed with and none of these accounts exist. If this user did not move around so regularly and used only one IP, it would be easy to warn this user and watch edits for future behavoir. But this user is a constant editor on Misplaced Pages no matter what city this user is in and has ignored suggestions to get a user account. Blocking this user's IP addresses might get this user's attention and get the user to finally create an account so that future problems would be dealt with as simply as a talk page warning. 13:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

    220.233.0.0/16 IPs

    This user has been progressively adding more and more hoaxes over the past two months, mostly creating fake children's animations. Examples are Hamptsse Messy and Basil Hair the Squirrel. These pages have been created from the infobox at Tweenies, but the links given either don't exist or link to something else entirely. He has been editing pages for production houses and cartoons to insert references to these hoaxes, as here: . He has also edited pages to include facts that are downright wrong, such as and . While some of his edits were quickly reverted, others were on obscure pages and remained in place from November until yesterday. He has made another hoax edit since I gave him a final warning yesterday, making this edit and being warned for hoaxing here. Please, please block him ... a lot. Vashti 11:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

    He is still at it today, making this edit. He also made this edit, which I have reverted as the only relevant Google hits for "shiff hoobs" were on the user-edited IMDB. Vashti 15:26, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
    24 hour soft block; it's a shared IP. Durova 18:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
    Well, the respite for 24 hours was nice, but now he's back, adding hoax pages at Bronwineyne and Wankado, and adding bad information at Australian Children's Television Foundation ( shows the sum of bad edits including Topper's, and being the one our friend did) and ABC Kids () . I would bet real money he's also the same user as Topper118 and various other Toppers, who has created similar hoax articles at Mr Cod, Fc. and Rocko (TV series). "shared IP" though it might be, all the users on that IP address are making exactly the same edits, if you look at the history - please can we have a more permanent block? Vashti 11:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
    I've made it 48 hours this time. If you need to return a third time I'll post a query to the administrators' noticeboard. Thanks for your patience. Durova 03:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
    He appears to be back and editing from 220.233.226.170 now - impressive since he held onto his previous IP address for at least two months. Four edits today, two which appear to be accurate ( and ) and two which are characteristic of his vandalism pattern (editing an article to refer to Cosgrove Hall Films and then linking back to their article) - . If he's made Topper edits today, I can't find them. In view of the pattern of abuse I'd characterise the last couple of edits as vandalism. Vashti 08:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    User:Topper122 appeared today and created a hoax article at The Toys (TV series). He also created a stub at Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (2D Animated), which was promptly redirected to the proper Thomas article. The article is simply a cut-and-paste of the original article's opening and infobox, except that Topper has added false creation information ("A Collingwood O'Hare production for Playhouse Disney in association with Silver Fox Films"). He then edited the Collingwood O'Hare to insert a link to his bastardised article. and to insert another series into it .
    User:Topper123 also appeared today and created a hoax article at Woodland Animations.
    User:Topper1235 also appeared today and created a hoax article at The Many Adventure of Pasley the Toy Lion, which was referred to in The Toys (TV series).
    User:220.233.226.170 has made two edits to The Toys (TV series) He has also edited Woodland Animations , again, as is typical, correcting typoes in Topper's initial page creation. He also added false information on animation houses at The Koala Brothers , Fimbles , Tots TV , Brum (TV series) , Rosie and Jim , Teletubbies and Boohbah .
    I have reverted all of these edits and expect that I have not caught them all. For the love of God, someone help me out with this guy. Vashti 09:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

    Please forgive my use of horizontal rules; the indents are getting stupid now.

    Today I discovered User:Topper888's contribution from December 2nd - he created a hoax article at ]. The links are all invalid.

    I also reverted vandalism at Ragdoll Productions dating from December 3rd.

    User:Topper1235 logged in again today (unusual) and created a hoax article at The Topsy-Turvy Show.

    User:220.233.226.170 made the following edits today:

    • vandalised Fun Song Factory, changing the creator information and removing the link to the genuine creators.

    Vashti 12:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


    Today, he removed a prod tag at The Topsy-Turvy Show. (AFD here).

    He also removed the prod tag and the broken links at The Wind in the Willows (2007 Film) (AFD here).

    He also removed the prod tag and the questionable date I'd pointed out in the prod at Giddy Goanna (TV Shows) (AFD here).

    Vadalism of the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service article. This IP keeps sneakily vandalising the Fire Station call signs (because they are written in the phonetic alphabet), and example of this vandalism can be found here . This IP also wrote the phrase 'I am gayboy' on top of two of the headings, an example of this vandalism can be found here . I have left a TEST4 template on their talk page because I thought this was necessary as they vandalised it seven times, although I was considering leaving a VW template. If you do decide to block this IP will you please tell me on my talk page which a link can be found in my signature!

    We've seen this article being attacked before. I've semi-protected. Post again when the need for protection has ended. Durova 00:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
    Unprotected per editor request. Note to other admins: this is a persistent IP vandal with a shifting address who waits about 1 month between attacks. Merits blocking on sight for recognizable offenses. Durova 03:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
    Update - this has been reprotected recently by Durova. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    86.8.105.64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    Nearly entire edit history is vandalism (e.g. this diff, which has been repeated something like 20 or 30 times in the last six months), and if it isn't clear vandalism, it's pushing a pro-England POV (note placement of English before Scottish in the ancestry). England is a fine country and all, but I'm getting really tired of cleaning up after this guy. He has been warned multiple times on his Talk page not to continue his vandalism, but without admin intervention and a resulting block, it's sort of pointless to warn him as he continues to vandalise.--chris.lawson 15:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

    Looks pretty fishy, but this editor has begun discussing changes on talk pages. Post again if vandalism resumes. This is very close to a block. Durova 00:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
    I realise it's been a while, but it happened again yesterday.--chris.lawson 22:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
    Acknowledged. Keep an eye on this. A single edit isn't worth reopening this issue but if it resumes with more frequency, I will block pretty quickly. This is obvious bad faith behavior and not worth risking a disruption of any magnitude. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    As I call the UPN vandal, this IP delibirately adds incorrect information to film-related articles, such as this, this, and this.

    He's been known to use sockpuppets; a list of them can be found here. Look at UPN's history for other socks I may have missed. --AAA! 06:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

    The problem is that most of these appear to be shared IP addresses (and the vandal can easily switch to others within those ranges at random). There's no way to reliably block him/her without potentially affecting many other anonymous users. This is why I've semi-protected UPN and 2007 in television.

    This IP was previously blocked as User:Skimall for personal attacks, & entering his entries into the main Telluride article. He continues to constantly add his personal advertisements to the article. skimall is not by any stretch of the imagination a valid local blog, guide to visitors, or source of news. That he considers it such is, if nothing else, proof of his own stretched imagination. I cannot go through regular means of attaching Vandal tags, etc as he is very malicious...

    Correction: neither the registered account nor the IP have been blocked. The account's user page has been deleted as an advertisement. This may be a new user who is unfamiliar with how Misplaced Pages works. I recommend first giving them a welcome, then if necessary a warning. Let's hope they become a useful contributor. Follow up here if things don't improve and the warnings escalate to level 3. Regards, Durova 01:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

    You're right, sorry about that, it was the user's page + comments that were removed. But no, no doubt whatsoever, it is the same person. Their only objective is to place advertisements, & place them before other links. Grye 22:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

    Appears to be using a cable modem - IP hops around but the behavior remains the same - inserts a claim that Danny DeVito is a Scientologist. I can find no reputable source backing this up - and the link provided by the IP doesn't state this. A few forum/blog appear to have picked up the same claim (possibly from here). This is extremely dicey per WP:BLP and despite attempts to question the IP in question (including via the article history) it persists in reinstating the claim. Probable socks of the IP:

    209.226.121.19 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

    The persistent vandal to Lyme_disease is back for the third time - multiple IPs (all 209.226.121.xxx as documented below). Two previous requests for investigation are below; the vandal left immediately after each request was posted (so no action was taken), and then returned later. Vandal is obviously watching WP:RFI, and is clearly determined to disrupt Lyme_disease - even posting the comment "Finally! Destroy this stupid article!" after agreeing with content dispute comment by a registered user (perhaps the same IP?) (see history below).

    Please note that Lyme_disease is a very highly politicized disease - some of the Talk:Lyme_disease page history was deleted by administrators a few months ago due to potentially libelous content against a prominent researcher in the field. Though this article is well-documented and was selected for WP:V0.5 (A-Class rating), some users have expressed anger that two sides of the Lyme "controversy" are both represented on the page, insisting "there is no controversy" and that only one side should be represented. Suspicious behavior from this vandal suggests political motives, eg. vandal started out by making arguably legitimate edits with POV consistent with the "no controversy" position, and then as documentation was added to article supporting another position, he started with the penis references, etc. In addition, after the content dispute discussion on Talk:Lyme_disease went against his view and in favor of including both sides of the controversy, he (without explanation) removed the POV tag he'd previously wanted (perhaps because it directed reader to Talk:Lyme_disease), and when the POV tag was restored, he vandalized the very first line of Talk:Lyme_disease -- both suggesting an effort to keep readers away from the discussion on Talk:Lyme_disease as soon as it was no longer going in his favor.

    Because vandal stops immediately when request for investigation is posted, he has never been banned. The suggestion to request page protection doesn't make sense, as it is all coming from 209.226.121.xxx and is clearly a lone determined vandal who is watching this request for investigation page, and apparently not vandalizing other pages. See history below (previous requests are unaltered except addition of internal links) 75.37.237.209 02:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

    From 30 June 2006 request:
    209.226.121.83 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • block user • block log) -- Multiple IPs (all 209.226.121.xxx - listed below). This user is back to vandalizing Lyme_disease and Talk:Lyme_disease. Has a history of persistent vandalism to Lyme_disease despite numerous warnings (some deleted), related to extreme POV. Vandalism from user temporarily stopped after request for investigation was submitted 21 May 2006 - see below (no action was taken since things had calmed down), but started again as of 25 June 2006 (talk page) and 26 June 2006 (article).
    From 21 May 2006 request:
    Prior to vandalism, first edit from IP was generally legitimate though some was reverted as POV; IP had comments on talk page about chronic Lyme patients being lazy, not really ill, etc. Since then IPs have gone on a streak of vandalism - a combination of foul language/images ("penis" references, "sluts", etc) mixed with statements offensive to Lyme patients (laziness etc), and page/section blanking. Recently something more complex is happening - after a registered user added POV tag and related comments on the talk page, 209.226.121.25 initially expressed elation - "Finally! Destroy this stupid article!" But after another registered user strongly defended the article on the talk page, 209.226.121.4 attempted to delete the POV tag on the article and replace it with a merge tag, with no explanation. Now for the first time, blatant vandalism to the talk page ("slut") was added by 209.226.121.71, to the first line of the talk page. (After this was reverted, the IP vandalized the talk page of the user who reverted.)
    IPs: 209.226.121.83, 209.226.121.30, 209.226.121.71, 209.226.121.25, 209.226.121.48, 209.226.121.110, 209.226.121.142, 209.226.121.155, 209.226.121.62, 209.226.121.92, 209.226.121.40, 209.226.121.149, 209.226.121.174, 209.226.121.70, 209.226.121.4
    Not necessarily vandalism, but related extreme POV: 209.226.121.127, 209.226.121.25, 209.226.121.141, 209.226.121.121 // --70.22.141.98 15:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

    This looks like your typical shared IP. This one traces to Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa (I added a {{SharedIPEDU}} tag to that effect). There are several good faith helpful edits from the IP and the activity there is fairly sporadic. I'd recommend treating it like any other shared IP: assume that no two edits are from the same person.

    Riveros11 has been using a program of attempting to intimidate any alternative contributor to his religious group's topic page BKWSU by slapping vandalism tag on me and others in order to block my IP address - using alternative sockpuppet addresses that leaves his main user loking clean. The latest using the IP; 72.91.169.22, , here . I removed it. Sockpuppetry and personal attack, or just a cynical and dishonest ploy to block other users to gain control over a topic for his group, he has since faked a user page to look like a third contributor he has also intimidated with threatening warnings.

    The user page for 72.91.169.22 is faked up to look like; maleabroad, complete with bad Indian-English spelling

    This is an important detail as we will see later. It says;


    " User:72.91.169.22

    How am I vandalising? I was deelteing anti-Hindu propangda trying to create a wedge between BKs and Hindus co-religionists. No racism will be tolerated! "


    If you look at the user contribution for maleabroad, here , you will see the same anti-hindu proganda stuff used on the BKWSU page, here

    Revision as of 16:38, 21 November 2006 maleabroad m (deleted anti-Hindu propaganda user trying to create drift between BK brothers and Hindu co-religionists)


    However, looking at the archive of maleabroad, Luis Riveros11 slapped a vandalism tag on maleabroad from the same IP address in Tampa; 72.91.169.22 (72.91.169.22 ), where Luis or Avyakt7 as he likes to call himself says;

    " Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

    Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. 72.91.169.22 03:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC) AVYAKT7 "

    Luis is of course a teacher and recruiter for the BKWSU Raja Yoga center in Tampa. See documentation of his talks, here , etc.


    • At 02:42 am 30 November 2006 as Riveros11 he made his usual revision/accusation (rv: vandalism - User 195.82.106.244 changed article without previous discussion as stated in Talk page without obeying policies in talk page - vandalism - version from user Appledell) .
    • At 02:49, 30 November 2006 he made a Administrator intervention against vandalism, here . *ipvandal 195.82.106.244 Reported user this morning. Keeps reverting page without discussion and blanks all warnings from talk page.
    • At 02:54, 30 November 2006 .
    • At 02.57 am on 30 November 2006 he then used this sockpupet IP address on my talk page .


    If we look at the user contribution for 72.91.169.22 we see that he has used it soley to attack me ... and once for maleabroad.

    If we look at his own user page for ... we see that despite making all the edits to BKWSU he has not once used it to make an IP vandalism report and only once a personal attack report.

    If we look at the other IP address is uses 72.91.4.91 also Tampa Verizon and used for making vandalism attacks on Maleabroad

    If we look at user contributions for Tampa Verizon 72.91.4.91; here, , we see they are again solely focused on the BKWSU, maleabroad and myself.

    If we look at user contributions for 71.251.88.110 = is also Tampa Verizon; here, , we see they are again solely focused on the BKWSU and myself.


    From 25/26 October 2006 when he first engaged in editing as Riveros11 , he has been a one track record Vandalism, Vandalism, Vandalism, Vandalism and whole load of admin tricks to block others ... no wonder he has been to busy to actually engage in the atempted discussion, mediation or arbitration . Except on others pages where he seeks advice and attempt to discredit me and similarly hitting other first contributors, e.g. .

    I have no doubt that this is not exhaustive but it is exhausting ... I hope that we can resolve matters.

    I would like to point out that the same team are also at work on Google Answers having critical or even independent pieces about the BKWSU removed, e.g. which is now http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=206345, Yahoo and elsewhere. Yes, Misplaced Pages Foundation will be targetted next if they has not already done so. Scratch me and I will bleed citations.

    • One final incident, just wanted to add for the sake of completeness a Request for checkuser that Luis did under the 72.91.4.91 user where he refers to himself in the third party, "He also reported user Riveros11 ... Personal attack on Riveros11 ..." etc. . It is worth noting JUST for the amount of effort he puts into this.

    I'm not convinced that this is a sockpuppet. Please WP:AGF and invite this editor to explain his or her reasoning for the deletion on the article talk page. Looks like the response to this has been unusually aggressive. Perhaps this is really someone new who could become a productive editor. Follow up if problems continue.

    I was judging this based on the WHOIS for both: and . Is there a way to do a WHOIS on regular users for the record? Thanks for the reply, I'll just keep it status quo on the page and see what else happens. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 01:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    Okay, that seems reasonable. Still, nothing beyond a level 2 warning on either IP. I'd like to see some good faith outreach. Ask this person to participate at the article talk page. Durova 02:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    I was under the assumption that they were both sockpuppets, so each warning was a cumulation off of both IPs. Upon the next removal, I'll ask that it be taken to the Discussion page as there is a system for link additions/removals (installed by me due to the high degree of link removals/additions for this article). Seicer (talk) (contribs) 04:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    I understand that similar matters have been longstanding problems at this page. Nonetheless, the right thing to do is to welcome each newcomer who might become productive and encourage them to contribute in accordance with site policies before issuing warnings. Some types of activity don't require that welcome - but this isn't someone who's posting obscenities to a page. They might have a genuine disagreement about that link's suitability and not understand consensus editing. Talk first and come back if they don't cooperate. Durova 20:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
    Regarding 151.204.242.114, the same user with the same DNS range is continuing to remove links.

    Bad faith edit comments....

    Personal information and false allegation of sockpuppet...

    Intimidation...

    Taunting...

    Removing NPOV...

    Removing page protection (probably to be able to post again as 244, evidence of sock puppet)...

    That's a lot of evidence over quite a few months. Thank you for searching and summarizing all of those diffs. Some of these actions aren't necessarily objectionable. For instance, Misplaced Pages doesn't take a stand against editors blanking warnings from their own talk pages. Nor is it necessarily wrong to remove an NPOV tag, particularly when it's a single action rather than a revert war. The bulk of the history looks like a heartfelt content dispute. While cult is a hot button word, this editor doesn't use it frivolously but rather supports it with links and detailed discussion - although the allegation itself is necessarily provocative, it seems to have been raised in a suitably dignified manner. So what we're left with is the sockpuppet allegation and some background history. This looks like it presents an editor who was involved in a long term content dispute and then began using socks to WP:OWN the article. Misplaced Pages:Suspected sockpuppets is the best place to handle that (and I'm glad it's already been reported there) because between that page possibly WP:DR your bases should be covered without needing to come here. A few of the other posts cross the line enough that I'd issue a warning or a short block if these were new events, but those actions took place months ago. Durova 04:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

    Dear Durova, and how about this one just a day ago? http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Brahma_Kumaris_World_Spiritual_University&diff=cur&oldid=90603114 Please note that his links offered as support to his statements does not meet wikipedia standards for an article. Those are note reliable sources. This user however, wishes to use those sources even though admins already have told him that those are not valid.

    Listen guys, this is a bit of a joke because 72.91.169.22 is Riveros11 and User:72.91.28.223 whom both refer to himself in this and other complaints as if Riveros11 is a third party. Please see detailed documentation above. Riveros11 has been using 72.91.169.22 and other IPs to build up a bogus case against me and others in order to block me out from editing the article.
    The background to this case is that Luis ] is a teacher and recruiter for this millenarianist group the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University and they have an IT team working on this article to ensure that nothing that contradicts its PR can exist there. Not even links for ex-victims as per The Family, Moonies and Scientology. Ditto, that no materials can be references from their "scriptures" or publications as per other religions. What this is all about is blocking any questions being raise. Ditto, The Family, Moonies and Scientology etc all have critical or opposition sections and links which he has removed from this one.
    The history goes back to when he was suspended from a public discussion forum for making personal attacks on others which he has continued to lay blame on me for. I was the victim of those attacks. See,
    With references to consistent claim that I accepted to use the sources he provided and have requested discussion of reliable sources, policy is clear;
    Self-published and dubious sources in articles about the author(s)
    * it is relevant to their notability;
    * it is not contentious;
    * it is not unduly self-serving;
    * it does not involve claims about third parties, or about events not directly related to the subject;
    * there is no reasonable doubt as to who wrote it.
    I put in for RfC, mediation and arbitration and the guy refused to participate whilst all the time using these alternative IPs to try block me out. I am glad I found all this to understand what is going on. 195.82.106.244 12:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

    Template:Allen Greenfield - I have definite information that the person calling for deletion of this article has a long history of writing crank letters about this specific subject for entirely personal, rather than critical or cited, reasons. Some claims made by this person, a V. Cybert of Alabama, are apparently defamatory as well as misrepresented.

Bignole, Erik, Ace Class Shadow, User:Wiki-newbie, Veracious Rey, and myself have all counseled both editors on things like civility, citation, the difference between being bold and a vandal, and more for weeks now. Neither makes an effort to change, both call us all names , for working hard on the page and not wanting POV edits added, and it's time for it to stop. ThuranX 13:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC) (Additional information: One of the posters, the IP user, has also begun to take his issues to another site, IMDb, as seen here. ThuranX 01:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)) Since posting and moving this, the IP user has continued to be hostile, insulting the other editor mentioned on topics, as well as continuing to provoke the regular, Good Faith editors with comments like this . He's clearly gone over to trolling for a fight, to judge by tonight's insulting edits. Many of the editors here are really about to leap out of their skins and get truly incivil back to him. We need Admin help. // ThuranX 03:34, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

    Multiple sockpuppets and/or meatpuppets possibly including as the latest one User:DeanHinnen who represented to the unblocking list that he was not a sock and got unblocked. The claim is that all of these people making these edits are just "family members". Isn't that the definition of a meatpuppet then? See Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/BryanFromPalatine, current issues at Misplaced Pages:ANI#Confirmed_sockpuppets_of_User:BryanFromPalatine_via_checkuser. and edit histories, Note also the not-so-veiled legal threat at User:DeanHinnen. As I point out in ANI, he is a volunteer lawyer for the entity he says will sue Misplaced Pages. I see that as a legal threat. Is it? You decide, please. I've been accused of and given a block for mischaracterization in this case, and that is absolutely not my intention, but something isn't right here at all, and I wish it would all get investigated and resolved. I wish I could just let this drop, but I just know that something about this needs to be looked into. Thank you.

    BenBurch 05:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

    BenBurch, please stop your false accusations
    You made the same accusation against me before, and an exhaustive investigation by Unblock-en-l proved that it was a false accusation. You made the same accusation against Fensteren, and a Check User proved that it was also a false accusation. Running around to every dispute resolution venue at Misplaced Pages and repeating these false accusations is only going to get you blocked again for misrepresentation. Please stop immediately.

    I arrived at Paternity fraud on a recent changes patrol and reverted content removal, of a well sourced reference to an academic study, by User:Samantha Dean (I also had to do some other formatting clean up) and I put a template on the user's talk page requesting the user not to remove content from the article. The user removed the same content a second time so I issued a vandal warning. The user is now editing the article to introduce POV problems and personal commentary. I don't want to get involved in a potential WP:3RR with this user over this article so it's now someone else's turn to deal with further problems. Random Passer-by 01:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

    I read the proposed deletion for this page, realised that it was probably pointless posting here, and decided to just keep on reverting. Random Passer-by 01:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

    Sklocke (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Sklocke has repeatedly engaged in a series of seemingly random actions. Articles are being moved to nonsensical new locations without any attempt at discussion, frequently accompanied by bizarre edit summaries. Some examples include: Metre to Measurement System in Meters ("Most Americans don't patially know what 'metre' is."); Roundabout to The Mega-Traffic Circle ("This title will be better!") and then to Roundabout (Intersection) ("Someone may block me if I "badly" move something. Thanks for the paps message, dude!"); and Film to Motion-Picture Film ("Title is itty bitty dull"). The editor has made several other page moves against Misplaced Pages guidelines, as well as a series of "strange" edits to articles and user pages, including BiancaOfHell's user page and talk page. I have been attempting to clean up after him/her, as well as leaving messages at User talk:Sklocke, but have had no response to date. Other editors have also left warning messages, with similar results. It might be worthwhile to have an administrator look over this matter to see if it is a deliberate series of actions, or something else. Thanks. --Ckatzspy 19:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

He is highly elitist and hates anyone editing 'his' articles. I tried a ceasefire here gave the details of my citations.He told me he has located the book and he is still reverting chalukya and rashtrakuta. Mr.nichalp and mr.utcursch have been approached as well. He himself proclaims that marathi books should not be quoted but wikipedia does allow other languages books also. Now he has two English books which i have quoted he is still going on with his reverts by asking the ID, pub.date etc etc.The book i have is old (1924 AD) and hence it will not have such details.

    Hi, I have been in a long edit war across many pages with goethean. I would like you look into Goethean's activities, I direct you to his talk page which shows that he is abusive towards fellow editors besides me. I even strongly have reason to believe that he has a meatpuppet Grey under his direction. He has gone to many pages I have written on and makes a comment out of nowhere after making the original comment. Goethean and me have been investigated by a sys admin Larry V but goethean has been admonished to take the high road and violates this every time with me. He has gotten me blocked for 3RR rule but if you were to look at the Ken Wilber page, I am sure he has been a horrible violator of the 3RR rule. I will admit I have no love lost for goethean, but I think his behavior towards me is systematic of how he acts as an editor. Please help.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ForrestLane42 (talkcontribs).

    Please help, it greatly upsets me when an editor like him makes new editors like me feel most unwelcomed by challenging every edit by reversing every edit. Please like goethean should not get away with such behavior. goethean is living up to Steven Colbert's word wikireality! ForrestLane42 20:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)ForrestLane42

    LUCPOL (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Investigative info included in the following links: , ,, I can almost Guarentee you that this will be vandalized in some way. Report: Upon becoming aware of User:LUCPOL, a user blocked 4 times before, and constantly reminded to stop vandalizing articles, in 2006 i started to grow quite suspicious of his activities, and one day editing an article and removing a seemingly unnessecary image of Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, which i later accepted, and that reversion was soon edited to say "Silesia City" first, which is not the formal name for the region and is only used locally.Upon seeing this i suspect User:LUCPOL became angered and he then moved Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union to Silesia City, without anyone elses consensus(2-3 times.) Over this period i soon found out that LUCPOL was monitoring and watching my every reversion, even requests into his identity, in which he would soon respond and make himself apparent in personal conversations. I was later blocked unjustly as was he had used this cyber-stalking technique and pulled me into his block sentence. I started also adding an image of Frankfurt am Main, which was strangely removed a few times. The insuing events took place, in which i learned that User:LUCPOL had a personal agenda to promote an apparent RADICAL Pan-Polish/Pan-Slavic agenda (NOTE:LUCPOL has very little knowledge of the English language, leading to many unencyclopedic reversions previously.)He has also added warning templates to other users talk pages, which are almost always unsigned.

    Example incident:

    I know now through intense research that his opininated editing has led him to create articles in other language wikipedias that say eiether the non-formal "metropolis katowice" or "silesia city." I also now know that his seeming radical agenda has led him to create tens of other accounts across the wikipedia domain(NOTE:The following is a list of user pages, both created, and not yet existant with text. Consequently, some of the different WikipediaUserPage editions listed might not feature any true editing by User:LUCPOL):

    1. [http://ms.wikipedia.org/Laman_Utama

    More recently User:LUCPOL has vandalized these other following pages:

    1. Upper Silesian Industry Area No apparent reason to revert other than personal bias against myself.
    2. Talk:Kottonmouth Kings
    3. Template:Infobox City Poland (Vandalized reversions by the templates creator.).(Vandalised again today by user)
    • Template:User Silesia (Added Silesia as a 'Nation' when it is not a nation at all.).(Vandalised again today by user)
    1. Template:User European Union (Added EU as being a 'Nation'.)
    2. Silesian; (quote from User:LUCPOL("Polish Silesia"? - this is hoax)(Silesia actually is divided into 2 regions by an expert on the subject, Polish Silesia, and Czech Silesia, but apparently this is a hoax.)
    3. Silesia; (total vandalism by adding a category called "state" which lists Poland and the Czech Republic, when they are 100% classified as Nations.)

    I found out an anonymous IP today attempted to request the protection of the "upper silesia metropolitan union" article mentioning the constant 2 month reversion-vandalism campaign by User:LUCPOL, but when User:LUCPOL saw this, he changed select words to his personal benefit, and later even completely removed the request without permission and added his own version of it(before an action had been taken), stating it was ("unneeded") (apparently this has gone unnoticed so far).I looked into this anonymous IPs talk history for any past incidents and suspicious behavior and instead i found this.-- Hrödberäht 05:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

    • Blocked content of the article Katowice by placing large panorama image in an inappropriate location at the top.
    • User adds Music video link on Cypress Hill, link is removed due to its irrelevance, but adds link back again and disobeys authority:

    • found out that USER:LUCPOL has created almost every different language article on Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, or using the fake title of Metropolis Katowice, or Silesia Cityand lieing about their validity.
    Saturday, January 20, 2007
    • Added the fake "Silesia City" to Metropolis in place of the real Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union.
    • Reverted Template:User European Union back to saying it was a nation, when its is not.
    • Reverted Template:User Silesia back to saying it was a nation, when its is not.
    • Notcied that he reverted Edits to Upper Silesian Industry Area and added his concept of 'Silesia City' back to it again.

    • Answer:

    My English is poor, indeed, I had much difficulty understanding R9tgokunks. So:

    1. Case: Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union - Name Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union (polish: Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny) it's an old, now unused name retired by the new government (after elections of November 2006 ). "Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny" was replaced by "Silesia". Examples: in : , , in , , , (etc...) and pl.Wikinews. Polish Misplaced Pages for long months had article pl:Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny, and were politicians changed the name to "Silesia" than Polish wiki gained a new article pl:Silesia (miasto) (english: "Silesia city"). They both described the same thing after some discussions I created a redirect , but we delayed renaming "Silesia (miasto)" as it is a current process and we want to see what happens. But Polish wiki article states: "Silesia (dawniej Górnośląski Związek Metropolitalny)" - english: Silesia city (long ago Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union") . So you see: R9tgokunks inserted wrong info into the article and engaged in revert wars , without any knowledge of the "Silesia (miasto)" issue - and he accusses me of vandalism. Further, he removed the name "Silesia" from article which seems to me to be clear vandalism: .
    2. Case Frankfurt am Main - Simply, I never edited that article and have no idea why I am accused of editing it.I never even accused you of editing this article.... R9tgokunks 20:52, 20 January 2007
    3. Other accounts. I am an experienced Wikipedian - Ihave 15 000 edits on pl.wikipedia , 2000 on en.wikipedia , and I decided to have an account on other Wikis for interwiki additions, so they appear under my account and not anon's IP. I don't understand what's wrong with that.
    4. IP (ex: 91.120.107.93, 168.213.1.132, 207.245.84.70, 131.104.218.46, 216.171.96.18) are not mine and checkuser will verify this.Yes, sorry, I mistakenly added these based on other vandals on wikipedia that i was wishing to check on. R9tgokunks 20:52, 20 January 2007
    5. Case Template:Infobox City Poland - As for my revert it's easy to explain: User:Fujicolor changes completly revamped the infobox, and I think it damaged the layout on en.wiki. I disagree with this change, thus I revert it. As simple as that.
    6. Case Silesian - There is no such entity as "Polish Silesia", there is just Silesia region on the territory of 3 countries. Thus I reverted R9tgokunks' edit .
    7. Case Silesia - Old version of the article had "Nation" and my dictionary tells me it translates to Polish "naród" (people); I think "State" is more correct.In america and the rest of Europe, they call Poland and the Czech republic countries(Nations),so obviously it doesnt matter what you think when it goes up against ]. User:Olessi change to "Country" is fine with me and I consider the matter closed.
    8. Case Katowice - I reverted R9tgokunks' edit as it damaged the layout of article (see for yourselves). Panoramas should go at the top, I think it's a common policy.

    I did not execute no vandalism. LUCPOL 16:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    1. Case Template:Infobox City Poland - Reverted a template that wasnt even created by himself...and it was reverted back by the user that created it..
    1. Case: Silesia - Ok then...If you yourself KNOW that Silesia exists in 3 different countries...then WHY did you revert my edit???It doesnt make any sense....
    2. Case: Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union - User LUCPOL lied about the validity of the names 'Metropolis Katowice' and 'Silesia City', he said they were true, but recently i found out they are fake and arent even used in Poland. Subsequent trans-language articles of wikipedia have all been created by USER:LUCPOL under the fake name of 'Metropolis Katowice', and almost all have been changed to (this case, in English) 'Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union', with MANY users telling him 'Metropolis Katowice', and 'silesia city' dont even exist, and that its the wrong name, but STILL he choses to disobey authority and switch it back because his your ignorace in thinking.
    3. Case Katowice - Wrong, its not 'common policy', view the Frankfurt and Warsaw articles... which are some of the best articles on wikipedia.-- Hrödberäht 20:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
    Ad.1 Without comment.
    Ad.3 Now official name this "Silesia (miasto)" - english "silesia city". This is fact. Proofs are above. Do you understand?
    Ad.4 Without comment. LUCPOL 21:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

    I am translating new reply by LUCPOL. R9tgokunks, please don't remove LUCPOL Polish comments - he has asked others for translation and it is acceptable.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  04:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

    To: R9tgokunks. I want to reach a compromise with you. Let's leave aside the issues of Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, Upper Silesian Industry Area and Silesian for now. Please reply to those questions of mine:
    1. IP 91.120.107.93, 168.213.1.132, 207.245.84.70, 131.104.218.46, 216.171.96.18 - this is not me. Can we discard it?This was already solved a while ago...-- Hrödberäht 04:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    2. Template:Infobox City Poland - I explained that I disagreed with infobox new look; I have reached a compromise with the user who did the change and the matter is closed. Can we discard it?-- Hrödberäht 04:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    3. Other Wikipedias - I know of no rule that prohibits me having those other accounts. Can we discard it?
    4. Katowice - your edit damagaged the layout (). It was a single revert and I see no reason we should discuss it further. Can we discard it?No it didn't 'damage the layout'????Explain to me why you believe a contrary version of Misplaced Pages Policy?-- Hrödberäht 04:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
    5. Silesia - I am happy with Olessi's "country". Can we discard it?This isn't really problematic since Olessi solved the problem a while ago.-- Hrödberäht 04:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

    Please reply to the points in order. Let's try to finish some issues so we can discuss others. If you agree we can discard a point please strike it out. I hope we can raech an understanding as soon as possible. LUCPOL 19:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


    Comment. Concerning Upper Silesian Metropolitan Union, I'm afraid that the present dispute is somehow pointless (no offence, see what follows). I think the article should be virtually blanked and rebuild from scratch (on the pl.wiki article basis, say), the reason being that it does not describe correctly its subject. Observe that the article does not mention any sources - pl.wiki version does (in external links section). One could be surprised how different the subjects are... Actually, en.wiki text corresponds roughly to the old pl.wiki version which has been deleted (and replaced) on grounds of h-word rationale; disclaimer: at the beginning I was involved there. I put a version of this post in the relevant talk page, I'm willing to do what is necessary. To make it clear: I suggest not discussing it further here but moving to the relevant talk page instead. --Beaumont (@) 11:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

    Sam Wereb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Sam Wereb (talk · contribs) has been following me around wikipedia editing anything I have written and undermining all my edits, he has become a serial pest. He has made bold personal attacks in the past followed up recently by snide comments in an attempt to provoke some outburst that will never come. Sam Wereb (talk · contribs) is frequently sarcastic about other editor's good faith editing; for example, referring to "Mikey's little article" when I put a well-referenced article (Ernest Emerson) up for Good Article review , prior to this he unsuccessfully tried to delete a large well referenced portion calling it "spam,spammity spam" because it contained a single link to the subject's website and his belief that mere mention of any company is advertising, even when the article is about the company in question. When JzG (talk · contribs), SandyGeorgia (talk · contribs) and Jeffpw (talk · contribs) pointed out to him that my edits to Ernest Emerson were not spam and were very well-referenced, he condescendingly replied with, " All very cozy -- and irrelevant". He has been warned in the past by Durova (talk · contribs) (his libelous accusations against me are archived on the WP:PAIN )around 11/18/2006-11/20/2006, %28aeropagitica%29 (talk · contribs) , and Jeffpw (talk · contribs) , and myself yet he simply blanks his talk page, removing indications of past behavior without archiving. I've offered links to wiki: civil, and have tried working with this caustic individual to no avail. One of his latest tactics is to call wikilinks to other wikipedia articles I have worked on as spam and advertising. He has personally posted objections to the length of the Knife entry, yet the only change he has made was to lead people away from an article I have written that is linked from there Walker linerlock.

    There's plenty of other constructive work he could do on wikipedia if he's got too much time on his hands. He's turned this into a vendetta for whatever reason. Please investigate this stalker-like behavior. I just want it to stop so I can continue to be a positive contributor and not have to check on every last article I've written or contributed to just because of Wereb's histrionic outbursts and blatant vandalism.

    A simple comparison of his history against mine will confirm this.

    Thank you. --Mike Searson 10:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

    While I agree that in the past this user sarcastic behaviour was counterproductive, and if continued, he should get more seriously warned, can you offer any diffs to the specific posts that you consider offending recently?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    Piotrus,

    Here's one: Calls me "Mikey Boy" as if he's talking to a child, 4-5 days ago. Calls me a "girlscout" 4 days ago for referring him to WP:Civil. Same time period, libels a list of celbrities who own another knifemaker's knives:, refers to my article as a "love letter":

    Calls me a "shill" for my friends:

    It may seem petty to an outside observer, but wereb started life on Misplaced Pages with an agenda , which he lied about when confronted with it and tried to hide it: And it's all an attempt to derail a GA Nomination. I would like to just ignore this person, I've offered several attempts to work constructively with him, to no avail. Latest tactic is to libel magazine writers in a lame attempt to discredit the source material: perhaps that's better than him deleting 1/3 of an article under GA review, but why should I have to defend sources who are professional journalists in Cutlery trade publications that have been around for 30+years?

    I made this report a 5 days ago, wereb has not been around for a few days, but I am sure this will resume when he returns. All it does is keep me from positively contributing to articles and forces me to debate him. --Mike Searson 22:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    I honestly don’t know if this is the right place to put this, however, Misplaced Pages:Requests for administrator attention says this page is the place to report “serial pests”, and SNIyer12 definitely qualifies as that, while I’m not sure if s/he is an “obvious vandal”. When I was a far more active editor, I was frustrated by this user so much that I started an RfC which unfortunately failed to garner much comment either way—including from the user, even though s/he was informed on his/her talkpage. Based on recent additions to the RfC which I noticed in my Watchlist, and on this recent comment on the aforementioned user-talk page (which, as usual, the editor has failed to respond to), I felt it was time to seriously seek admin help in dealing with this problem. --WikidSmaht (talk) 18:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

    I have left that user a note to reply to RfC. If s/he does not, and continues to disruptivly edit those articles, I think a ban may be in order. On the other hand, since that user seems to be doing edits to other articles that seem to mostly constructive, perhaps a WP:MEDIATION may be helpful? Personaly I dislike RfCs as they rarely produce a concluson (your case with the user refusing to reply seems to be an exception, though).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
    Mediation is a socond-step dispute resolution process. At the time I filed the RfC, I was under the impression that mediation requests were being turned down unless a first-step process had been completed. Then, s/he never replied to the RfC( in fact, almost no one did) and I ended up becoming inactive on Misplaced Pages. I may try to file a mediation request, but I fear that s/he will again ignore it, not even explicitly refusing to participate. Although, I suppose that inaction in and of itself could make the issue eligible for arbitration. --WikidSmaht (talk) 22:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

    Wellreadone (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    A review of Wellreadone's user contributions indicates a history of subtle vandalization of articles. He removes tags such as "unreferenced" from articles without comment and replaces information with bogus information not verified by sources (eg he overwrote the previous biography replacing "Marcello I'm Bored" with "I'm So Bored" and included a large section of writing and directing credits many of which are not included in the person's IMDB listing). He has also deleted his own user talk page to remove negative comments and vandalism warnings by editors (these comments are visible by reviewing the history page). Had the user on my watch list from a couple of months ago as well due to similar behavior that is cropping up again now in January. Requesting an investigation on the user's contribution history to determine if admin intervention is needed. Dugwiki 21:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

    This looks like not so subtle vandalization. I think you can report it at WP:AIV; I have warned him with {{Vand3}} - he has not edited for over a week anyway.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:23, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
    Thanks for looking into it. The day after you posted your warning above (Jan 22) Wellreadone then vandalized a user page, User:Mikkalai, calling him a "nazi" under his picture caption. Dugwiki 18:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
    And again, on Jan 24, Wellreadone blanked his talk page to remove the warning notices then proceeded to vandalize User:Will Pittenger's user page, inserting "Self-appointed CENSOR & Serial Copyright Infringer" at the top. Wellreadone definitely needs to be blocked. Dugwiki 18:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

    Because of copyvio. He ignores all attempts to contact him or do anything against the copyvio in Kim Mehmenti-article. Now he also uses his user talk for the copyvio. Also works as IP and not only here but also in the other wikis. In the German wiki known as Benutzer:Semimk, in the Albanian one he uses the same as here. In the German wiki we wrote an article to stop him and now we only have to remove the pictures now and then. As far as I've seen the Bulgarian wiki has done the same. I'm not sure if the Macedonian one knows about the problem, but the French has deleted the article, and the Albanian one has decided to ignore the copyvio. -- CecilK 13:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    Aylahs (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    I request that the above user be investigated for violating the policy on vandalism, especially filing reports rather than using dispute resolution to get the facts discussed rather than trying to delete the facts, user used vandalism criteria and complained and got IP user 75.15.203.99 banned, while the facts that were posted were not only true but taken from other articles on wikipedia. I think the facts should be checked from a neutral point of view

    trueblood 01:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

    Multiple users found that edits by an anonymous user operating under IP 75.15.203.99 constituted vandalism. I documented these and requested the block, which was reviewed and granted by administrator (aeropagitica). The same anonymous user appears to have then switched to IP 75.15.204.215 and continued vandalizing articles. Other editors have since reverted these edits. Given the record of vandalism and uncivil behaviour by User:Trueblood786, I wonder if User:Trueblood786 may have been the anonymous editor in question and sought to avoid accountability by editing under the IPs mentioned above.
    Other editors who have acted on the vandalism in question include User:Eagle 101 and User:The Haunted Angel (both recipients of multiple barnstars including The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar) and User:Eliyahu S. -- Aylahs 02:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
    I looked though Aylahs's contributions and I didn't see any indications of vandalism. I also don't see any reason why requesting that an admin help with a situation is a problem. Please you can provide diffs. Otherwise, any kind of investigation is quite difficult. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 00:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    Vintagekits (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    This user has continually removed negative content from their talk page. I have warned the user, and waded through the history of edits (going back about a month) to return what content I can. However, the user has reverted my edits and removed the warning about this I gave the user. 88.107.102.255 00:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

    Not this time he hasnt. I thought users were allowed to delete content from their user pages, SqueakBox 00:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    The only things I have deleted from MY own talkpage that were left by you or your sockpuppets in what I perceived as bad faith or are issues have been sorted out - plus I will delete any edits made from unregistered sockpuppets--Vintagekits 00:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    No, you have removed warning messages from other users from your talk page such that other users cannot see you have already been warned about certain things - such as personal attacks. This means users continue to give you just warnings, unaware that you should fully understand what you are doing is wrong, given the pervious warnings. Thus, you can continue to get away with what you are doing - principally being uncivil. Logoistic 23:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    NB My sockpuppets are legitimate. Logoistic 23:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    You only admitted they were sockpuppets AFTER I left the sockpuppet tag on your page. I removed your edits on my talk page as I considered them to be left in bad faith. I consider that your (and your various sockpuppets) treatment of me is coming close to harrassment and I am trying to stay away from you and not get drawn into edit wars or arguements with you but you are making it very difficult.--Vintagekits 00:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
    We have discussed this elsewhere, and it is not relevent here. The matter at hand is removal of negative content. Logoistic 01:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    I have explained the deletions, no further comment from me--Vintagekits 03:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    The user is now removing a tag that highlights he has confirmed illegitimate sockpuppets. Logoistic 21:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

    The Damaja (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    This user is a persistant abuser of wrestling related articles and is a constant nuisance. He was reported for vandalism but the reporter was told it was a content dispute. As is visible from both his talk page, and the WP:PW talk page he has been asked many times to stop and read the WP:PW guidelines, then told, then warned. Yet he continues to ignore everything and persist with his disruptive edits; any help would be useful. DavyJonesLocker 00:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

    I support any punishment offered as a result of this, The Damaja's disruptive edits and lack of communication have become tiresome and, to put it crudely, a persistant pain in the arse. SteveLamacq43 02:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

    This is a very different request, this user has created over 50 "bio stubs" - looks like he's going through some Armenian "who's who" list and creating 1 or 2 line stubs, non-referenced, non-sourced. I did put a kind "heads up" on his user page, and am tagging all of these as {db-xxx}. Perchance an admin could watch/explain the WP:BIO and other categories before this becomes a nasty situation. Not 100% sure if this is vandalism, leave that call to the experts.SkierRMH 21:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

    Soccerguy1039 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Looking at this user's block log, he was previously blocked by Friday on the 9th of Dec. 2006 for problem editing. I initially contacted Friday, but have not received a response. Soccerguy1039 is continuing his disruptive edits, refusing to sign comments, then removing the {{unsigned2}} templates that other users place next to his comments . Several users have asked him to stop, yet he continues. I believe he is also operating a sockpuppet by the name Emokid200618 (talk · contribs). Their contribs are identical, including the removal of unsigned templates on Talk:Final Fantasy XIII . Soccerguy1039 and Emokid200618 have also made identical edits on Template:Kingdom Hearts series (Soccer = ; Emokid = ). Emokid has also vandalized George W. Bush, though it was a minor nuisance. ( ) Apologies if this is the incorrect place to report this, but it doesn't seem to fit WP:AN, it isn't obvious vandalism (WP:AIV) and isn't only about sockpuppets. AuburnPilot 20:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

    Comment: Soccerguy1039 has been blocked for 48 hours by Friday. I will take the other issues to WP:SSP. AuburnPilot 00:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

    This user is either a really bad editor or a really good vandal. Often changes information to incorrect info, probably on purpose, along with intentionally bad grammar. Whether or not he is intentionally distructive his edits are still harmful.--CyberGhostface 19:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

    72 hour block for vandalism. Durova 15:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
    User is really bad at editing and makes ridiculous spelling errors and changes dates and numbers without citing any sources. —Centrxtalk • 03:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
    User is still editing in a broken fashion. It's hard to tell if his additions are in good-faith, but they are questionable and without sources unverifiable, and they are full of spelling and grammatical errors, etc. I have advised him about this on his talk page. Even if this user is acting in good faith, he may be doing more harm than good. —Centrxtalk • 13:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
