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.

• First of all there is this. [6]. No biggie but lets continue...

• While we are both not being terribly civil here Talk:White_people#General_Comments, he clearly crossed the line here: [7]

• And here: [8]. While "you are not knowledgable about this" is acceptable, it's quite different from "while I grant that it might seem that way to someone who is not as knowledgable or comfortable with a subject as is the majority of people."

• And finally..."Since this fact is eluding you, I'll see if I can find a third party who can simplify it and put it at your level" [9]

• His warnings: [10][11]

The edit comment is Finnish for 'f_ck you' or 'f_ck off'. JdeJ 09:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to add that the user had already been warned once before after this attack om another user. [13] JdeJ 12:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Eleemosynary (talk · contribs)

User Eleemosynary (talk · contribs) has posted numerous messages on the Rush Limbaugh Talk board as well as on other user pages personally attacking me and other editors. When we asked Eleemosynary to stop, the attacks only got worse. When I posted a NPA warning template to their talk page they reverted it calling it troll bait and then proceeded to stay up all night posting and revising personal attacks on the Rush Limbaugh talk board as well as on the Administrators 3RR Noticeboard where two users (I am one of them) have reported Eleemosynary for violating 3RR (one complaint lists 11 edits and reverts within a 24 hour period) I will list some of the attacks below. I summary, I have been accused of trolling, sock puppetry, being a liar, being dishonest, intentionally gaming the system in a conspiracy with other editors AND in acting alone to oppose a consensus of all the other editors (hows that for flexibility), making threats. User is also posting personal attacks about me on other users talk pages. Oh hell, You can read for yourself below.

• dishonest editors
• bad faith editing
• never objective
• flat-out lie
• sockpuppet accusation
• gaming the system
• reverted NPA warning)
• distorts wikipedia policies
• making threats
• laughable disgrace
• acting alone to thwart consensus
• though five minutes later I am part of a cabal of other editors who gang uo on one lone editor
• accuses me (or the cabal, not sure which) of bullying
• accuses anyone who disagrees with them of bad faith reverts and gaming the system though an edit war
• an edit war they are trying to start by posting messages like these on other users talk pages (referring to other editors as flunkies)
• referred to me as a laughable disgrace on this users talk page
• on this users talk page, called us dishonest editors and seemed to be encouraging this user to resume an edit war they previously had been attempting on Rush Limbaugh (just prior to the election they were edit warring to insert edits into the article and admitted their motivation was the upcoming election and that they wanted to try to influence voters in Missouri)
• Additionally in the description for the previous entry to this users talk page Eleemosynary referred to "the limbaugh trolls")

This user has been involved in personal attacks in the past and was warned by me multiple times on the article talk page to stop as well as a specific warning on their user template which they reverted calling it disingenuous and troll bait in the reversion summary. This complaint is not based on the edit warring that this user is doing on the article page but in the personal attacks this user is making and refuses to stop on the talk page. [16] This complaint is not based on the edit warring that this user is doing on the article page but in the personal attacks this user is making and refuses to stop on the talk page. And this is all within the last 48 hours or so! Please help!Caper13 16:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

NazireneMystic (talk · contribs)

Please warn user NazireneMystic to refrain from personal attacks and remove offending material from the Talk:Ebionites page (from [17] to the end of the talk page). This user posted his user page Here I will show evidence of notibility and VfD proceedings of a deleted stub Articals for deletion log for Ebionite restoration movement complete with to meatpuppets and one admin that may had been duped by User:Ovadyah|Ovadyah on the talk page along with numerous personal attacks against myself and another editor (eg. seeArtical POV and [18].

If reading about your actions feels like a personal attack change your actionsNazireneMystic 08:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This user has ignored repeated requests to respect Wikiquette guidlines posted on the talk page and has been given two prior npa3 warnings about personal attacks, Good faith? and meatpupppets. Thank you. Ovadyah 03:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I dought there is a guidline wikipedia has that you not only break every day but lawyer around them to use them for reason contrary to what they were meant for from what ive seen if an action were taken against me compaired to what ive had to put up with from you it would be like getting a speeding ticket at the Brick Yard 400NazireneMystic 08:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This user was also asked to stop one last time on talk page again after receiving the second npa3 warning[19]. Ovadyah 04:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Ovadyah,

You can ask me to stop exposing your wikipedian lawyering tactics 1000 times but I do not care. If I did not almost daily point out how your tring to dominate the Ebionite artical with extreme POV it would had been totaly over ran months ago. Your upset because someone is calling you on your endless crap. If I were a nice guy I would had been ran off the artical long ago like you did to keith ackers who is actualy listed as a scholar and source for the artical if who ever is reading this realy cares to learn whats been going on contact Keith for one and he might tell you how these wikipedians have been acting and be sure to take the time to go through the archive pages so you can see the wild tactics used so far to push Ovadyah's POV its been quiet an experience here at wikipedia. If ovadyah is sensitive then Ovadyah should not be ingaging in such thingsNazireneMystic 08:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This user constantly trolls my contribution logs. I am changing my request to a warning and a temporary block. I have also invited several editors involved in the Ebionites article or AfD to comment. Ovadyah 08:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Did you invite the other meatpuppet?NazireneMystic 08:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I alerted co-editor Loremaster, Alecmconroy from RFC, and admin Jayjg to the notice, if they wish to expand on my comments. Ovadyah 14:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Neither of you are behaving very well in this instance. Ovadyah, please provide specific diffs. Proto::type 15:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

As no warning (other than some unnecessary ones from Oyidah at an earlier date) were issued, I've warned NazireneMystic for this edit, which was unacceptable. I would hope that unless he/she continues making edits of this kind, the matter is now closed. Proto::type 15:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Administrator blows referee whistle - this is not the place to conduct a dispute. 24 hour block issued. Durova^Charge! 01:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much. It should be noted, however, that this user has already evaded the block by copying his talk page to another alias, User_talk:SpiritualEbionite. Ovadyah 01:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

John Spikowski (talk · contribs)

This user attacked me and the PanoTools Group several times and this is now my third PAIN. The latest attack can be seen here [20]. As you can see on his talk page he already got several admin warnings [21], [22], [23], [24] including a Personal Attacks - Last Warning [25] for his older attacks which you can find in this history [26], [27]. As you can imagine we (The members of PanoTools.org) are really tired of this person. Please help. --Wuz 02:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and left a 48 hour block for violations of WP:CIVIL. Suggest Wikipedia:Dispute resolution: it's unlikely that civility blocks alone would resolve this issue. If the person seems unwilling to compromise then try a user conduct WP:RFC. Durova^Charge! 03:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
