Thank you for unprotecting this. The protected version was a significantly reduced version by [[User:Philcha]] which I've reverted to the last version by [[User:MP 12]]. I'm not sure how it was created since the article appears to have been protected before the version was created. Any idea what was going on with the article? [[User:The Mad Genius|The Mad Genius]] 01:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Actually, to be more accurate, the revert change didn't remove the information, it just commented out most of the previous article. Still can't see how the change was accomplished while the protection was on as [[User:Philcha]] doesn't seem to be an admin. [[User:The Mad Genius|The Mad Genius]] 01:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC) |

How do you get a table of contents box on an an entry? Just curious. |

== EDIT WAR ON [[ZANJ]] == |
|||
A very silly edit war over words is going on on [[zanj]] it is a very simple problem. Based on the definition of a word, my argument is the word is specific and not a general word. My dispute tags are being deleted by a tag-team of people, who keep repeating one line of evidence, they refuse to reply to my issues and spend the time editing me, and not the article while restating the single source which is not referenced. I think the article should be locked until a resolution can be gained as i am part of the edit war and it will not stop until a 3rd responsible person shows up.

== GTR-X image == |
|||
Hi would it have been to much to give me some time to correct the license before it was deleted i was waiting for a email from the owner of the image to give me full rights to use it anywhere i wanted, just slow down a bit and give people time to fix up things. im sure you want Wikipedia to get better but if every time someone tries to improve it, there work get deleted etc people arn't going to bother, most people have a life outside of Wiki. |

Sorry to take your time.

I didn't personally attack Tom Napack. I did go to middle school with him. He is gay (he identifies as such). And we did used to call him Nutsack. All the things I said were true.

==The image was in the process of getting a license== |

I have contacted the U.S society in charge of that website. They are going to send me the creative commons license soon . You should not have deleted it so soon. any way i'll post it as soon as i get the license {{unsigned|Abhishekupadhya}} 08:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
===Sure=== |
|||
I'll post the image along with the license file, as soon as I get one. How do I find images that have a GNU/GFDL/Creative commons license. That would me much easier , than asking for permissions. The wikimedia commons doesn't have an image for the article that I'm editing.Can you sugggest non-wikipedia free image sources, that have no license issues? |

Yes, but this whole thing happened just yesterday after their support was given. So how could they have known about it? I don't have a vendetta, but I would by lying if it didn't scare me that someone of this caliber and agenda would be given administrative powers!

i accept that i went OTT, but am so sick of this guy sockfarming that i just don't particularly care. the warning's fine and warranted, but it catches in my gut a little that this guy editwars and abuses constantly and nothing is ever done. for all i care at this point, ban both of us. there's little point in contributing to WP if all i do is spend my time fixing up his barrow-pushing.

Hi. No need to apologise as you did on my talk page :) I know I went over the top - i have just really had enough. I'm building yet another case against him/her again now.[[User:Tancred|Tancred]] 12:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
Some more thoughts |
|||
::Both these IP's are in the same CIDR block. They are both controlled by Telstra - an Australian ISP. Editors that use these IP's have been pushing a POV for over 12 months here. These edits all take the same form. The editor picks 1-2 words each week, edits for his POV and then spends a week or so reverting despite what other editors suggest. How do I know they are the same person? A number of things. The constant refusal to sign any comments is one key. [[User talk:Rugby_666]] was finally banned. That case can be looked at here: |
|||

|||
:[[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ehinger222]] |
|||
:[[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Rugby 666]] |
|||
The Rubgy League POV pushing stopped for a short time but quickly started up again. |
|||
Some examples: |
|||
User 147.10.112.157 (A known Ehinger222 IP) made this edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marconi_Stadium&diff=prev&oldid=90068509] about Marconi Stadium. A week later the plans for a new stadium development were called off and the article updated. Then 5 new accounts were created, just to revert back to the now incorrect edit: |
|||
{{User5|Reddoll17}} |
|||
{{User5|Signor12345}} |
|||
{{User5|Fifa1998}} |
|||
{{User5|Wacko Jacko2}} |
|||
{{User5|Redneckyank}}. |
|||
After this the user has given up with registering new usernames and just uses IP's. |
|||
His/Her latest series of edits are nothing more than tweaking Wikipedia for POVness. |
|||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zinedine_Zidane&diff=prev&oldid=116718550], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hampden_Park&diff=prev&oldid=109488502], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Brasillach&diff=prev&oldid=116526824]. not to mention the endless POV stuff here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia_national_football_team&action=history]. |
|||
here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_national_football_team&action=history], both |
|||
{{User2|144.132.217.29}} {{User2| 144.132.221.157}} revert the page back to edits made by Rugby666, one of the banned usernames. |
|||
Given this has been going on for for many months, something really needs to be done. I would call for at least raising this ongoing wikipedia attack with the ISP, and blocking the IP range. |

Hi Rhianna. I have only been editing on here for about a month. I resent both the above two users basically harassing me, blatently lying, making deliberately false accusations, deliberately taking the wrong meaning, name calling, trying to gang-bully me off what is meant to be a community program, wishing death on me etc since I came on here and now trying to get me banned as well as them in an act not unlike suicide bombing. I wont react in like manner to their insults not because I lack the language, but because it is boring and a waste of my time on wikipedia. But your insinuation that I am the lunatic was both hurtful and demoralising. Every edit I make almost, these two/one person/people revert or attack. Most of the issues is over the use of the term football, and you can trust me, I am not in the wrong over as their general assertion is that it is only to be used for soccer which is obviously wrong in the Australian context, and have tried to be conciliatory despite everything.
