Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Personal attacks

This 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 Wikipedia's No Personal Attacks policy For editors who want a personal attack situation reviewed: 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. 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.) 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. 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. 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. 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: 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. Reports on this page stand on their own merits in accordance with Wikipedia'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: 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. 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. 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. Move the report to the Open Reports section and give an update to the status of the report. 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.

This user has been warned repeatedly about making personal attacks and being uncivil. Recently a WP:RFCU [1] revealed that this user is also using anon accounts with the IP 63.17.0.0/16 and 63.150.0.0/16, and possibly Just an onlooker (talk · contribs). Today IP 63.150 began posting personal attacks/defamatory statements about me on various talk pages (examples: [2], [3], and [4], and again as Just an onlooker (talk · contribs) here [5]. While these might seem to be relatively minor insults, this user has been warned 3 times as Just an onlooker and equally as many as AndyCanada in the past about attacks on myself and other users. Thanks. Yankees76 22:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Personal Attacks by LSLM:

"In fact the article is a mess. I see no solution for this article, as I am tired of repeating. I have said over and over again that unfortunately the term white to refer to people has been hijacked by Neonazis and there is no way out. Veritas et Severitas 02:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)" [6]

"Dark T., eough is enough. The use of language to hide an agenda is very old. ¨White people are Nordic people¨, ¨Jews are not considered White¨ by whom? by Neo-Nazis of course. That disgusting ideology has no place here to define race, that most malignant of ideologies that was responsible for the death of 50 million Europeans just 60 years ago. I am not going to repeat over and over again the same things and be contributing endlessly. I have a life. Genetics and human decency kicks in the ass that ideology and people like you who insist on defining race following that ideology. Whenever I find tendencious comments trying to define race according to Nordicist/Neo-Nazi propaganda I will revert it and I hope that other decent people will do it too. Veritas et Severitas 12:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)" [7]

"Sorry, but if a duck talks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck, it is a duck. Veritas et Severitas 13:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)" [8]

"I do believe that Scandinavians are exactly as European as anyone else and that the genetic diversity among all peoples in the world is just marginal. I just hope that readers from Scandinavia are not offended. I know the place and they are among the most polite people and least racist people on earth. But some people like you need a response. So, stop trying to use information about which you have no clue and stop using this site for your Nordicist agenda, that is ludicrous in the light of 21st century knowlegede.Veritas et Severitas 19:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)"

"Man, your ignorance is such that I am not going to discuss with you anymore. I just hope that you leave this place alone. Veritas et Severitas 19:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)" [9]

"I am glad that other people can see Thulean´s nazi approach. I hope that some administrators can block this guy.Veritas et Severitas 21:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)" [10]

Warnings to LSLM:

[11], [12] Thulean 21:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Can truth be an attack? Because in context those remarks make complete sense. BenBurch 21:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Truth? I've never added any Nazi argument or used Nazi sources. See page diffs. Thulean 22:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

LSLM is totally innocent. Thulean is the one who should be investigated: his behaviour and his continued threats are highly disruptive.

He's just using this as "legal" platform to try to scare honest and serious wikipedians from staying in his way. --Sugaar 22:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Jinxmchue (talk · contribs)

This is what said user posted on another board which he knows is read by the editor in question.

"No, Ben, you fat, hypocritical fuckface, I do not do the things you do. See, you actually have posted on DU in the past for the purpose of "drumming up supporters" for your biased agenda on Wiki. I never have and never will do the same here because I'm not a slimy shitweasel like yourself. Criticizing your sorry, bloated, shit-stained ass here is not "recruiting" people. It's proving over and over what a worthless excuse for a human being you are. In the immortal words of Vice President Dick Cheney, go "fuck yourself."'

See Jinxmchue's Personal Attacks Not only is this user going WAY over the line, he's trying to drum up support on other forums in an effort to effect consensus on the Democratic Underground article talk page. Since this was posted on another board, I'm not sure if or where I should post the NPA templates - but I ask for immediate action. - F.A.A.F.A. 19:45, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Comment - Wow, I hadn't read this before now. I look at that site very infrequently, most recently when I suspected that Jinxmchue was recruiting meatpuppets from there, which he was. I hadn't (yet) re-visited that article to see that he had attacked me there. And I do consider this to be both an attack and meatpuppetry as several people have shown up from that board to join the discussion on the DU article. I have been nothing but polite with him over the present dispute. BenBurch 20:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Please keep your off-wiki issues off wiki. This is not a place to complain about peoples comments on other forums, I am sure they have administrators on that website and they are best suited to handle those issues. Further there is no way for us to verify here, that the user with that name over there, is actually the same user here. Again I ask you and everyone you seem to bump into to keep your DU CU drama off wikipedia and not come here asking for administrator intervention on issues on those forums, its just not appropriate. --NuclearZer0 22:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment; Your Conspiracy Theory that the poster Jinxmchue on CU may actually not be the same Jinxmchue as on Wiki is entertainingly conspiratorial - but improbable to the point of being meritless. Please read and absorb the following applicable section of WP: "Personal attacks elsewhere may create doubt as to whether your on-wiki actions are being conducted in good faith. Posting personal attacks or defamation off-Wikipedia is harmful to the entire community, and to your relationship with it." off wiki personal attacks - Thanks - F.A.A.F.A. 22:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Jinxmchue has admitted that he is the same person here as there. So that is not in doubt. BenBurch 22:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Again I reiterate, keep your off-wiki drama off wiki. There are administrators on those forums I would assume, complain to them and not here. Here he behaves and deosnt violate WP:CIVIL. The user has admitted to going to those forums just to vent, the fact that you both interact over there, should lead you to stay away from them here, not engage them here as well. Further its an obvious case of baiting there, so I would doubt you would come here asking for someone who vented off wiki be punished for venting off wiki, when they were baited off wiki. The idea is quite obsurd. Again you guys want to divide everyone into dems and republicans, do it elsewhere, tis not healthy here for the spirit of this project, nor is your bickering spreading from those forums here. --NuclearZer0 22:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Then why raise the straw man argument here at all? That was an unworthy attempt to misdirect. BenBurch 22:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I have no clue what you are talking about right now. I asking you and other posters of political forums, not to bring their drama to Wikipedia. I am not sure what is so complicated about this. You all argue over there and call eachother names and divide the world into two neat piles there. Here editors are worknig on a project to build an encyclopedia and do not need the division and name calling and all out drama. Again, please keep your off-wiki drama off wiki where it belongs. Wikipedia is not an extension of your battlegrounds. --NuclearZer0 22:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

1) Jinxmchue started the thread on CU - nobody 'baited' him into viciously and profanely (especially for a self professed 'Christian') attacking Ben. 2) WP: "Personal attacks elsewhere may create doubt as to whether your on-wiki actions are being conducted in good faith. Posting personal attacks or defamation off-Wikipedia is harmful to the entire community, and to your relationship with it." off wiki personal attacks - F.A.A.F.A. 23:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What is so complicated about asking you people to keep your political drama off wikipedia. This project is about working together to write and improve articles, its a colaboration. Your off wiki drama spilling over from highly charged political forums, so highly charged that there articles talk pages become victims. Wikipedia is not an extension of the battle for you guys and noone is gonig to tolerate it becoming that. You want to spit on eachother, bait eachother, insult eachother, then do it there and not here, further don't come here complaining when you do the same on other forums, its destructive to the project here and the admins do not need to turn into admins of other forums as well. If you know he posts there and you post there, why would you continue to post on pages here he posts on, this continued drama is not appropriate here and only serves to make Wikipedia look worse. This is an encyclopedia, not an extension of your off wiki political battlegrounds, keep that garbage on those forums. --NuclearZer0 23:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Further what you are posting was created in spirit to ask people to be nice in general, not to become a weapon for wiki-lawyering, it was not created as a shield to hide behind while continuing political arm wrestling in other locations. --NuclearZer0 23:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

To further my point you seem to be leaving something out "Wikipedia acknowledges that it cannot regulate behavior in media not under the control of the Wikimedia Foundation" I see you left off the beginning half by accident. In any event, keep your CU DU drama on those forums, its bad enough the articles talk pages here have become battlegrounds, its not appropriate for the rest of Wikipedia to turn into one. This project is about colaboration, not division. --NuclearZer0 23:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

• This is an off-wiki issue, and it is inappropriate to lodge a complaint here. I am a regular at CU, and Jinx has made no attempt to organize there to disrupt WP. The last person who attempted such organization (a newbie troll) was basically run off of the board through ridicule. Attempting to sanction someone here for expressing their freedom of speech on another site that allows it is highly improper, and any sanction meted out by Wikipedia toward Jinx could be actionable in some way. Please don't endanger the project with such irresponsible complaints. Crockspot 00:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I see you left some text out too. "While you may not be directly penalised for off-wiki attacks, they may be taken as aggravating factors when any on-wiki policy violations are being considered. For example, they can be used as evidence of bad faith in the dispute-resolution process, or as evidence in ArbCom cases." Jinxmchue unfairly and mercilessly attacked Ben, and all your attempts to divert attention away from that fact can't erase his hateful words nor hurtful actions. - F.A.A.F.A. 00:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Correct and this is neither ArbCom nor an RfC nor are any other "on-wiki policy violations are being considered", nor is this a step in dispute resolution. Thank you for stating that this complaint has no place here. Again I ask you take your off wiki drama to the appropriate admins of where it takes place. Do not wage war there and ask for vengence here, don't bring it here at all, its not welcomed. --NuclearZer0 00:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

• FAAFA or an admin should remove the warning that is on Jinxmchue's talk page. - Crockspot 00:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  He can remove it himself, users are allowed to removed warnings from their own talk pages. --NuclearZer0 01:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  Really? I thought that was a no-no. Crockspot 01:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

• Crockspot wrote on CU : "You know who else is a big whiny pussy? That idiot Fairness and Accuracy for All. He's the King Moonbat of Retard Mountain.'' Crockpot's Personal Attack - So rude! Perhaps you might consider reflecting on what people are calling Post Election Humiliation Syndrome ? - F.A.A.F.A. 01:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl (talk · contribs)

This user insults me, changes my posts, deletes my comments, reverts the removal of frankly insulting thing's she's posted on my own userspace, has abused her powers to ban me, she does not value other people's comments and thus discredits them according to who posted them (a good idea doesn't care who came up with it), seems to be 'afflicted' with Editcountitis, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editcountitis. And finally, she certainly appears to be working with other wikipedians to disrupt dececion boards and get her "enemies" banned. For example, Hainchen deleted one of my valid comments (allegedly spam: (though the message itself was just a copy of what I had spoken to her on her userpage about and an explanation why I had put it there, as she had been claiming that she was being canvassed and it was offensive. origional message can be found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:BrownHairedGirl#.27Empires.27_Wiki.2C_Which_you_have_opted_for_deletion (note that this post was before it was discovered that it was the wiki page being deleted, not empires own wiki.))) three times, and three times I had to revert it. then, Brownhaired girl blocked me for failing the three revert rule.

She continues to talk and insult me long after the discussion page where we first met was deleted by some admin or other, and even though i do not try to retalliate. She is clearly abusing her power and personally attacking me— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuka5 (talk • contribs)

Cite differences, I'm not an administrator, but that's the first thing admin ask for, when arbitrating personal attacks.--Vercalos 23:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

OK. I looked through all the edits that you both made, and you violated the rules, she enforced them. It was as simple as that, nearly as far as I can tell. She could have reprimanded you for violating Wikipedia: Civilty but she didn't.--Vercalos 00:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

This user threatened me and others in the past and got several admin warnings [13], [14], [15] including a Personal Attacks - Last Warning [16]. He was quiet for a month now but his last contributions attacked a bot [17] and myself [18] with threaten me that I get banned from Wikipedia and charging me for issues that I have never done and that are clearly outside of Wikipedia.

24 hour block for violations of WP:CIVIL. Durova^Charge! 04:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Expatkiwi (talk · contribs)

This user has been vandalizing my page here [19] and has been putting personal negative comments on my userpage repeatedly here [20] and here [21]. In the past he has also shown such behavior to others like here with historical revisionist diatribe masking an attack [22]. In this case he is accusing someone of ethnic cleansing because of editing the wrong article [23]. In fact in the past he has been shown trying to explain why he put an article up in wikipedia for propaganda purposes [24]. Because of this I sometimes question why he creates certain articles (I am not against creating articles, but is there really an ulterior motive?) I hope that his behavior stops but unfortunately his actions on my page prevent me from having any hope of calmly discussing this with him. (UNFanatic 06:12, 9 November 2006 (UTC))

Final warning issued. I'll try to keep an eye on this one, but let me know either via my talk page or here if this sort of behavior continues. Luna Santin 08:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Mrpainkiller7 (talk · contribs)

User page "enemies" section is self-explanatory. [25] Should take note that the user has shown willingness to compromise from this earlier version [26] which included both my Wiki name and another, after two revert and two warnings. Has also vandalised my talk page as a form of "payback". [27]

I have deleted the section of his userpage (violation of Wikipedia:Attack page), as well as accompanying images (per above plus likely copyvios). I have warned him about his actions, if he continues, he will get blocked for violation of CIV-related policies.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  23:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Reopening per Luna Santin's comment in history

This user is now using abusive sock puppets to impersonate me while vandalizing pages. Please see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mrpainkiller7. Since User:Luna Santin stated in the summary when s/he removed this entry that it should be replaced if the situation escalates, I'm doing so here. Apologies if this is redundant. --Neurophyre^(talk) 00:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Page diffs, please. Durova^Charge! 04:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

The whole bit is at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mrpainkiller7, but here are the diffs of one of the sock accounts, User:Nueroqhyer (a not so clever play on my name), impersonating me while vandalizing pages: [30] [31] (changing my words) [32]

And in the history, the sock's user and user talk pages which are exact replicas of mine for the purposes of impersonation: [33] [34]

Neurophyre^(talk) 04:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I went on over to the sockpuppetry case page and blocked two of the accounts indefinitely; the others don't seem to be quite as pressing of problems, unless they've been disruptive in some way? Luna Santin 04:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I could argue that User:Xachna might fit here since it was used to edit the "enemies list" portion of Mrpainkiller7's page directed at myself and User:Jean-Philippe, but it hasn't been used to attack anyone other than that that I know of, nor User:Evicorator666. They're being used to circumvent Mrpainkiller7's one week block, but that's an issue for the sock puppet report where I'll go note it in my response to your response. Whew, twisted grammar. --Neurophyre^(talk) 04:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
