:::Pl. notice how SlimVirgin talks about the images of the monkeys alone and not on the personalities' images and others he has also violated. He is abusing fair use by having uploaded half a dozen photos on the same subject - animal rights - when 2 would do the job, mentioning only one reason "no commercial value". Also citing content dispute, Slim is adament in reverting the {imagevio} tag regularly across all the articles instead of retaining the disputed tag. I request that until the fair use issue is resolved that he does not vandalise the tags in pages, as wikipedia policy mentions clearly. It is a shame that s/he fears most of those images will be deleted and is thus trying to mask the tags. I'm requesting the admins to look at his unique case and ask him to refrain from further editing of images as per the rules. |

:::Interestingly, Slim had earlier been involved in some minor editing dispute on [[Veganism]] where he requested proof for the fact that animal testing was used in drug development, but his/her involvement in editing [[animal rights]] exposes his hipocracy (that he fully well knows the facts) and is out only to argue.

Revision as of 11:13, 17 October 2005
To update this page, /Old version.
. For the old version of this page, seeFor blatant vandalism within the last few hours, please see Administrator intervention against vandalism. This page is for reporting vandalism for which an ongoing response is required. This primarily includes multiple sockpuppets, pages currently being heavily vandalised, users that need to be monitored, open proxies, and vandalism which requires study on the part of an administrator before responding. Accounts that have only been used for vandalism (with no recent activity) should also be reported on this page, so that an administrator can look through their edits. Please make sure to read the first two sections before using this page.
This page is intended to request administrator investigation of certain types of vandalism only. Do not use this page until you read the policies, guidelines, and procedures. For most vandalism, see Administrator intervention against vandalism. Alerts that do not belong on this page will be removed immediately, without response, and without warning. |

- 69.121.165.118 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) - Has vandalized a number of articles, some stupid one-word edits, some subtle changing of dates/words. See Beef, James Earl Jones, Jesus, among others. Just recently added the test3 tag to his talk page, but the manner in which he vandalizes suggests that he already knows well what he's doing.

- (Note: some in this group may already blocked by the time I'm re-reporting these, but since I need to show a pattern, they're all listed here.) These are all vandalism from today (October 16). Please, again, consider a range block. (These are suspected student-vandals from Epping Boys High School.) It should be further noted that some of these were purportedly blocked (with {{test5}} or equivalents thereof posted on their talk page) but vandalism appears to continue after the purported block. Note, in addition, that a large of these vandalisms appear to be "feeding" messages to each other. To be frank, I am sick of these boys and I think that until the school has its acts sorted out, these IPs should be blocked permanently.

- Update of sorts: 203.166.96.238 has made a post on User talk:203.166.96.238, claiming to be an innocent user and that the person responsible for the vandalism has been caught and punished. I've asked for documentation. However, given the nature of the vandalism, I really seriously doubt that it was just one vandal, and so if this post claims that the vandal is singular (it may simply be a choice of words rather than a deliberate use of the singular), it has somewhat less credibility. --Nlu 05:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Another update; three sock puppet users have popped up and been blocked for similar vandalism: Dan91 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Saradev6 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), and Ticky2002 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). --Nlu 06:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

- This IP has edited several wikipedia pages, including several changes to data in the human height page, changing data values such as population size of somalia. Many of these have been tagged as vandalism by others. This is subtle change of critical information. Other, older edits, see edit to Congoid are just straightforward racist abuse. Pete.Hurd 18:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- This person has only edited once today, and his contrib history isn't very lengthy. This level of vandalism you should be able to deal with yourself; this page is for reporting persistent vandalism that rises to the level of disruption. Just revert his edits. · Katefan0(scribble) 19:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight, this guy vandalized the wiki 16 (SIXTEEN) times since july, and you are not going to block his IP? Adidas
- That's right. The point of a block isn't to be punitive, really, it's to discourage vandalism that is happening right then. Some of the problem with blocks of IP addresses, particularly dynamic IP's is that there is a large potential for collateral damage -- what if I blocked that IP for 48 hours and someone else who wasn't the person doing the vandalizing tried to edit Wikipedia, got discouraged and then we lost someone who could've been a good contributor? IP blocks are very sparsely given and usually for short periods of time (no more than 24 hours) because of this. If this IP starts vandalizing repeatedly I'll be glad to block. Beyond collateral damage issues, though, one or two vandalizing edits are annoying, but regular editors can deal with it themselves through reverting. It should only be reported here if it rises to a level that editors can't deal with, i.e., that it becomes disruptive. Best · Katefan0(scribble) 15:34, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'm less lenient and so I blocked him after he started up again today, he obviously has nothing to add and it does not seem like a dynamic IP Sasquatcht|c 18:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Katefan0 - Is there a place on the wiki where this policy can be discussed? Adidas 05:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Although the vandal seems to have some POV differences with me, and I have admitted that I was wrong on some issues, he/she has also removed categories, sourced quotations, links to foreign language wikipedias and information he/she finds uncomfortable (but which has been researched/sourced/referenced where necessary). He/she has also posted threatening messages to me. Bernard Moffatt, Mec Vannin, Celtic League (political organisation) seem to be those mainly vandalise. My previous comments can be found here with interaction with the vandal. I am not interested in a flame war, but his/her damage goes beyond mere POV problems.

- SlimVirgin (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - Reverts my imagevio tag to fairuse tag when its a blatant cut and paste job of nearly 70% images. Had uploaded countless copyright photos and tagged it as fairuse, and even after asking him/her not to revert it until the issue was discussed in Wikipedia, s/he refuses to accept it as copyvios. Is impeding me from tagging any further and I'm not interested in any further reverting. Pl. stop this obsessed user. Idleguy 10:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- The images are not copyright violations, and Idleguy hasn't explained why they are. They fit the fair-use provision exactly, namely:
- They're being used to illustrate the pages or issues in question, in an educative way, not in a gratuitous one. They have no commercial value. In many cases, the copyright owner is aware of our use of them and has not objected (though the images are not being used with their permission either). There is no other way of obtaining the images (e.g. a macaque in a small laboratory cage, shot undercover, used to illustrate how macaques are kept in labs). However, even if everything that Idleguy said were correct, this is a content dispute, not a case of vandalism. SlimVirgin (talk) 10:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Pl. notice how SlimVirgin talks about the images of the monkeys alone and not on the personalities' images and others he has also violated. He is abusing fair use by having uploaded half a dozen photos on the same subject - animal rights - when 2 would do the job, mentioning only one reason "no commercial value". Also citing content dispute, Slim is adament in reverting the {imagevio} tag regularly across all the articles instead of retaining the disputed tag. I request that until the fair use issue is resolved that he does not vandalise the tags in pages, as wikipedia policy mentions clearly. It is a shame that s/he fears most of those images will be deleted and is thus trying to mask the tags. I'm requesting the admins to look at his unique case and ask him to refrain from further editing of images as per the rules.
- Interestingly, Slim had earlier been involved in some minor editing dispute on Veganism where he requested proof for the fact that animal testing was used in drug development, but his/her involvement in editing animal rights exposes his hipocracy (that he fully well knows the facts) and is out only to argue.

- BigDaddy777 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - He was blocked earlier for altering comments on talk pages for not completely removing comments. Instead, he kept the signature and changed the comment into something like "Stalker". He was unblocked. But now apparently, he's created an "instant delete" list and he again altered comments [24]. Please reblock him. Apparently, he hasn't learned his lesson yet.--Woohookitty 04:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I for one am well aware of it, as I am one of the victims. He's already in arbitration, he's showing remarkable restraint in that he's currently unblocked and yet only editing his talk page, and the consensus on WP:AN was that he could do what he wanted with his talk page as long as he didn't leave comments misattributed. Jdavidb (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well that's gone out the door since you posted this. Just look at his attacks on Katefan0 just tonight. 24 hour block please. --Woohookitty 09:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
- IS he currently unblocked? According to this page[25], his IP address is blocked until 3:14 , 6 Oct. If that's true, he's not showing "remarkable restraint" at all. But I could be misreading this, Jdavidb. I assume, as an admin, you have a better method of determining whether he's unblocked. Thanks. Eleemosynary 19:00, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm a new admin, so I'm a little uncertain. But clicking on the "block log" link above (my thanks for someone providing the vandalism template for BigDaddy777, as it was very helpful when I wanted to look at that earlier, anyway) [26], I see two blocks: one from Fvw at 2005-10-03 15:51:57 (my time, I think) which was for 24 hours, and one from CesarB which CesarB himself unblocked at 2005-10-04 22:42:07. As near as I can tell, that does mean he really is unblocked. I'm honestly shocked that he's stuck to touching his talk page. Jdavidb (talk) 19:09, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
OTOH, his IP may be blocked. But my understanding of that (possibly, maybe even probably faulty) is that we deliberately allow unblocked accounts to post from blocked IPs so, for example, we can tell users who share an IP with a troublesome user that they can just log in to get around it. Feel free to correct me; I want to know. BTW, we've probably gone beyond the purpose of WP:VIP, here. Jdavidb (talk) 19:13, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

- This appears to be more of a content dispute, though it is annoying that the person won't respond apparently. However, this page is for reporting vandalism -- you might have better luck trying to get some of the pages protected at WP:RFP as a way to force the person to start replying to you. At any rate, they've stopped editing for now. · Katefan0(scribble) 16:35, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

- Please note
- This was originally at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, but have added it here due to the vandal's large number of pseudonyms:
- Ich bin ein Berliner
- This page has been repeatedly vandalized, with a variety of user names and anon logons adding the same nonsense to it (claiming that the urban legend is true, and making false assertions about the German language), usually using misleading edit descriptions such as "(improve accuracy)". This is probably one user, but he or she logs in under a variety of sock puppet usernames, most of which were created for the purpose of vandalizing this article. Other users and I have repeatedly added the {{test1}} tag to these userpages, but to no avail. Today, this person has created the username "Prohibit0nions (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)" (with a zero) with the evident intent to pretend to be me (ProhibitOnions, with an O). The vandal's other usernames and IP addresses include: LordCornwall (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Shran (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), OberstKlink (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), Smegmann (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), LittleDeadBuddy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), KnightsOfMalta (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), 38.114.48.102 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 203.61.246.14 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 201.240.119.26 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 38.114.52.98 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 155.84.57.253 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 24.0.91.81 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 211.30.26.251 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).

- Protected. Please copy this report to Vandalism in progress so that the usernames can be checked and, if necessary, blocked. --Tony SidawayTalk 16:47, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- FYI: This user has a long history of improper sock puppetry with a very clear edit pattern and admittedly shared IPs. He is prolific and makes many good edits, but also many less-good ones. I had previously blocked many of the usernames when he began using them in deletions, and after leaving several warnings. The problem seems to have grown worse recently.

- Actually, having read through the recent revert war, this looks like an ordinary content dispute. The claim by ProhibitOnions that his opponents are writing "nonsense" and vandalizing is just false. They are reverting to a version of the article that leaves it uncertain whether the story of Kennedy's alleged goof is true or false. Whereas the version ProhibitOnions prefers comes down decisively that the story is false. I think on the facts of the matter, ProhibitOnions is probably correct, but disagreeing with him is not vandalism. I think Tony Sidaway jumped the gun when he protected the page. (But ProhibitOnions is correct that some of those reverting away from his version are writing misleading edit summaries.) --Nate Ladd 23:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Nathan, this is not a simple matter of disagreement. This person has repeatedly changed the article, each time adding different nonsense phrasing that asserts something that is demonstrably false. (It is not simply a weaker prior version of the text, although it is usually based on one.) No, the vandal has never discussed the topic on the talk page. Yes, the vandal uses misleading edit summaries. Apart from creating numerous sock puppets, he has now created a user name that is visually similar to mine (Prohibit0nions vs. ProhibitOnions) and used identical edit summaries to mine ("Reverted to consensus version, vandal warned"). Sorry, this is malicious vandalism, there's no other way to describe it. ProhibitOnions 19:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
