User:Infinity0/Vandal report

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe these are the same person:

This user(s) has added content to Virago [1], Asian fetish [2] (his major article in terms of contributions), Mongoloid [3], Special Relativity [4], Anti-relativity [5], and History of special relativity [6] with dubious sources, original research, and unverified information. Virago and Asian fetish have both been protected due to his vandalism. He has also edited Ludwig van Beethoven and Atonality where his edits were rejected; yet he repeatedly attempted to re-add them without consensus.

When I attempt to remove the content, the user(s) accuse me of vandalism [7] [8]. When "backed up", the content is claimed to originate from "Rainer Knußmann" [9] [10] or "GO Mueller" [11] [12], both of which yield insignificant Google Searchs.

Also, a link through "Rainer Knußmann" is given in Asian fetish to de:Anthropologie#Ber.C3.BChmte_Anthropologen where his name is in RED. I have not the patience to check the history of that German page, but I am sure you will find that the one who inserted that entry is from one of the IPs, or a similar one, to the above. Even if "Rainer Knußmann" is a real person, he is not major enough to justify all the content this user has been adding under his name.

Either this user is Rainer Knußmann, wanting to make himself sound more prominent, or he is a consistent vandal (He seems to claim he has been a vandal since 2001) who has come up with seemingly legitimate content. Please investigate further.

Based on content, most of the 80.138.xxx.xxx edits are from one vandal, who, as Infinity0 points out, has been a problem at the German Wikipedia. This vandal (or POV pusher), has variously referred to himself as a "German professor", "a soldier" taken POW at Stalangrad, and "Karl." The terms he uses are in use by white supremacist sites and the sources he quotes, including Knußmann, likewise. Knußmann is a German anthropologist. However, his theories on race are highly controversial and marginal. The manner in which this anon editor inserts his material into articles, along with his comments on talk pages is in total disregard for Wikipedia policies, including WP:NPOV, WP:No original research, WP:No personal attacks, and WP:Consensus (to cite just the more blatant violations)--see Talk:Asian fetish. We need to do something about this vandal. Sunray 15:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
