Repeated Vandalism[edit]

User Mosslandingpowerplant has been repeatedly and persistently vandalizing this page, either with unsourced critical comments or with outright insults to the the subject. He/she has received three warnings at his/her talk page but continues undeterred. He/she has made 40 edits to this page in three months, all of which have been reverted, and he/she has not contributed to any other pages. It's getting tiresome, and I think it's time to escalate things. Not sure exactly how to do that but I'm going to figure it out. Anson2995 (talk) 16:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so I reported this to Admin intervention against vandalism, and as a result the user has been blocked indefinitely.[1] Anson2995 (talk) 16:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And today it appears the user has simply created a new account and returned. Anson2995 (talk) 14:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problem seems to be solved, for now. [2] Anson2995 (talk) 13:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

The recent rash of vandalism has left this page a mess, so I spent some time to clean it up. I removed all of the NPOV stuff and other nonsense, added inline citations, and arranged the content into to make the article more coherent. I did not remove anything that was factual and referenced. I did remove some links to articles which were dead or no longer exist. The exception is the three D&C articles about Wease's bout with cancer. I'm hoping we can find another way to link to them, or at least find another source. Please let me know if you think this cleanup is an improvement, and if you have any other suggestions for improving the article. Anson2995 (talk) 15:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He, usually encouraged by his on-air entourage, will mock the letter, encourage the letter writer's coworkers to harass the writer at his or her place of employment, and occasionally will call the letter writer on-air to debate his letter, using typical morning deejay tactics such as turning down the caller's voice, talking over the caller, inviting catcalls and sarcastic laughter from his co-hosts, and letting fans call in to insult the letter writer on-air.

Is this unbiased?? As a long term listener of the Wease show, I've got to say this could not be further from the truth!
