Vandal JamesMLane rm entire new paragraph on Ted Kennedy page. Please block. 24.147.97.230 19:57, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


User:210.55.151.150/User:210.55.243.59

Changing minor details on artciles, so that they are incorrect - but are often so subtle that they could go unnoticed. Asked to provide evidence of changes, but user just reverts, leading me to think that he is a vandal. The JPS 11:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:220.245.178.131

Repeated vandalism of Parthenon. This person has been warned several times already and really should be banned for good. Adam 08:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Karl999

Obvious vandal. Look at his comments in the history of the BOT2K3 page. I've applied for protection but none has been given yet. Oh, Wikigods, please help us! -- Nick2588 02:55, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:Fawcett5

This User:Fawcett5 person seems to like to edit and revert a lot, judging by his history. I noticed he tried to pull the same thing again at List of conflicts in Canada. I discussed the reasons why his indentations were wrong here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_conflicts_in_Canada

but this individual does not seem to understand that the battles he is indenting occurred in more than one war, so the indentation does not make sense. Anyway, with this guys history of pissing people off, ( go read for yourself ) can you put a leash on him. Thank you Envelope 23:56, 2005 August 5 (UTC)

Jesus

I recently posted a legitimate addition to the article Jesus (the one that comes up right away when you type just "jesus" into the search bar) and it's been removed. I'm sorry I don't know how to link to the article or report the user etc., but I'm new. It seems like when I make legitimate additions to articles people just take them off right away and revert back to the original version. Being protective of your articles defeats the whole purpose of Wikipedia, no? Is there a way to get back what I added? (I don't have another copy.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.34.174.183 (talk • contribs) on 07:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

81.208.36.89

Ruy Lopez

203.122.254.26

24.6.59.24

Same user adding incorrect information of hit singles, regarding the years and titles and has been mostly warned by Rhobite. He has repeatedly been restoring "Cigaro" by System of a Down on the Top Hits list from the 2005 in music article, which is not an official single. It is actually a leaked track. -- Mike Garcia | talk 21:45, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

moron that only posts bob dole supports this message everywhere. no legetemate conenete.

King Khalid on Wheels

This is Willy On Wheels vandalbot. See the contributions trail for the evidence. Ancheta Wis 23:08, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

lambgoat

Not sure if the site should even exist. Was created purely by trolls. Is being swiftly vandalised with trollish comments everytime it is cleaned. Help.

144.81.45.65

This user is vandalizing a number of articles, such as African American literature.

Dirty Animals

Dirty Animals is adding obscene pictures of animals to user pages. See an example. I am reverting his edits. - grubber 12:36, 2005 August 3 (UTC)

I also added him to WP:AN/I. Ryan 12:38, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Fahd bin Abdul Aziz

WP:RFC

  • People are moving pages that have been certified by 2 people from "pages certified by 2 people" to "candidate pages, have not met the 2 person threshold". (unsigned comment added on 10:21, 24 July 2005 by -Ril-)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Cyrus Farivar

  • Journalist's article is getting vandalized in a variety of ways by multiple users for exposing an Internet hoax ("greenlighting"). --Tysto 23:09, 2005 August 1 (UTC)

IP addresses

Please report vandals who are operating under anonymous IP addresses under the appropriate severity level.

Severe

I don't see any reason to believe this ip is being used by serious users. The history of vandalism goes back to mid 2004 with plenty of vandal edits. A long ban at least. Usrnme h8er 09:13, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you block 64.231.4.58, you are not following Wikipedia's policy of neutral point of view. There should be sympathy towards the Jews as well as reasons and substantial evidence on why the Nazis committed genocide. (unsigned comment left by User:DaGizza)

What does that have to do with the nonsense about Baghdad bombings that this person was inserting into the Jew article? Antandrus (talk) 15:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • One user posted evidence that users of the FaithFreedomInternational web forum are organizing on that forum to mount a concerted attempt to change Islam-related articles to their POV. This evidence has been blanked seven times already, by Existentializer and also by various anon IPs, with much bad language in the edit comments. Dunno what to do -- if we protect the talk page, no one can use it. Block all posting by anon IPs on that talk page? Zora 23:24, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A wide ban of 69.50.* should be considered. It appears to be the only thing we can do now. Frenchman113 00:19, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
Please link to specific IP addresses and article names. It is impossible to look at this vandal's contributions based on this information. Rhobite 05:01, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
For samples look at edits by entries by myself and Eclipsed below. Usrnme h8er 12:12, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The domain 69.50.187.* is recurring with a variation of ip addresses as what appears to be a spam bot. Should we consider a wide ban? Can anyone identify the owner of the domain? Usrnme h8er 09:51, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
69.50.187.92 and 69.50.187.87 both appears to be owned by organisation in San Fransico[2]. Interestingly enought, they have a acceptable use policy which forbids spamming[3], so maybe someone ought to let them know. However, a quick google seems to indicate the're a spammers haven thought. WegianWarrior 10:27, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
These IPs have a bit of history (see User:Nigosh/linkspammers). User:Thue took some action on 21st July - emailed ISP about spamming and added some URLs to meta:Talk:Spam_blacklist#Atrivo_linkspammer_on_en. Appears not to have had any effect. Propose blocking IP ranges:
  • 69.50.166.3-6
  • 69.50.184.210-215 & 217-221
  • 69.50.187.83, 85-89 & 91-94
  • 69.50.191.195-198
Nigosh 11:14, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
3 more linkspam events: (69.50.184.212, 69.50.187.89 & 69.50.187.91) - Nigosh 12:56, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've warned them, but they seem to have become bored or stopped for some other reason anyway.-gadfium 01:27, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The user is also using an alternate IP address: 203.127.203.16 (talk • contribs • block) cheese-cube 13:47, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This appears to be in connection with the Rotting squirell VfD; several of the editors of that page have had their user pages blanked from this address, and this user has added some content to the Rotting squirell page in the last few days. Vashti 07:27, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keeps making the same edits on all four pages, attempting to force the articles to conform to his personal philosophical beliefs. Rarely responds to any criticism, when he does it is with bile and further insitance that he (or she) is right and all others are wrong.

  • Vandal has returned. Only edits attributed to this IP are the removal of links to about 23 articles each time. This IP has never been blocked, despite the previous request and warnings on the user page. ∞Who?¿? 07:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • 12.73.195.132 (talk • contribs • block). This user is dead set on disrupting the Cfd process, has unilatterly made changes that were against the previous consensus, vandalized the Cfd page and removal of Cfd tags, and adding {{d}} tags to cat's that should have been kept. Is now removing comments from Cfd, [14],

  • Discovery Bay
    • Please help - protect page perhaps? Receiving constant addition of the paragraph, The Plaza also provides a unique community childminding scheme, whereby children can play freely in the area, while their parents can relax and enjoy themselves without having to worry about their children's behaviour from a series of anonymous IP addresses. This is inappropriate for an encyclopedia and resembles more like vandalism of the practical joke variety. Discussion started at Talk:Discovery Bay but user not cooperating. --Mintchocicecream 18:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Is the statement inaccurate? How? It doesn't seem to violate NPOV. Is there not a place for children to play? --Randal L. Schwartz 18:49, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
His/her statement is plain wrong: The Discovery Bay Plaza simply does not provide a unique childminding scheme - or any childminding scheme for that matter! The statement is really a sarcastic statement complaining about the behaviour of children in the plaza. More such complaints can be found in external forums such as [[19]] One might also wish to compare this type of statement to the changes that *did* violate NPOV introduced by yet another series of IP addresses between 15-20 July [[20]]; furthermore attempts to discuss with anonymous user(s) has been fruitless. --Mintchocicecream 20:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
One might also wish to refer to [[21]] where people are discussing changing articles in Wikipedia. --Mintchocicecream 20:29, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As noted below, he now has the username Mark512, and continues to revert the aforementioned VFD page, as well as vandalising Canderson7's user page.
Please block! Vandalism continues, has been extended to Pakistan article. Today, coming from the 172.195.85.28 address. Zora 01:45, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Vandal has taken username, Ashraydos, has returned to vandalizing Shahrukh Khan, Pakistan, Kal Penn, and Indian American. Confused desi kid. PLEASE BLOCK -- possibly for a short time. Maybe he'll get a clue? Zora 10:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Vandal has returned as IP 172.192.180.130, vandalizing same articles. I checked the IPs. They're all AOL. Can we contact them to stop the vandalism? Leave message on my talk page if you want me to do it. Please block again. Zora 10:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Vandal has returned as IP 172.192.78.211, vandalizing (blanking) same articles. PLEASE BLOCK. Zora 02:20, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

They're surly responses to articles I see listed for Speedy Delete that really shouldn't be, I've contributed to every single 'stub' I've removed a Speedy Delete tag from, and it wasn't a personal threat to kick your ass, it was a poetically-refrained attempt at livening things up with edit summaries among a bunch of people who slap a Speedy Delete on an artist or historical character because they're too lazy to use google and make it a proper stub like I do. I suggest you view stub histories, before running off to mommy and daddy crying that I improved stubs and used a bad word in my summary Sherurcij 22:20, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppets

This just one user out of many. Cool Jared (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) did the same thing. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Also likely to include Goodboy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).
Any reasonable person can check edit histories and interests, and know that I am not User:TVSRR. However, I would suggest checking whether User:213.123.153.25 is an open proxy being used as a sockpuppet by User:Spotteddogsdotorg. Kaibabsquirrel 05:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, continue to draw attention to your re-creation of deleted material and repeated removal of delete tags from an article you created. It will get the material removed from Wikipedia again that much faster. —Cryptic (talk) 18:57, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
