• 199.0.65.2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) -- I think this guy is link spamming wikipedia. An nslookup on his ip give "gw01.penton.com". The website penton.com is a food service thing and this person is editing websites related to baking. Maybe a block on this IP would be good. I reverted his/her edits twice and I only have one left before 3RR. Tony 19:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• 213.243.185.219 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) who is Kurt Leyman (talk · contribs)]] Has been committing frequent acts of sneaky vandalism in numerous ww2 articles for a long period of time. The acts are removeing paragraphs of importans and altering of sourced figures without useing a source.

These are some of the articles

Battle of kursk He removes 300 thousand casulites for the german side wihtout useing any source which can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Kursk&diff=47294776&oldid=47142802

Winter war he alters the figures and removes 2 key paragraphs which are Finnish President Urho Kekkonen stated in September 1963, "When now, after more than 20 years, we put ourselves in the position of the Soviet Union, then in light of Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the concern that the USSR had, and should have had, in relation to its safety at the end of the 1930's becomes understandable." AND It was recently confirmed in a study by Finnish historian Lasse Laaksonen that the Finnish army was on the verge of total collapse when the armistice was signed.[1] It is speculated that since Stalin had practically wiped out his intelligence apparatus in Finland during the purges, he was not aware that continuing the war for only a week longer would have led to the inevitable and total defeat of the Finnish army. Despite the heroic resistance of the Finns, the Soviets would have inevitably won through attrition. This last part has been sourced and can easily be varified here http://www.hs.fi/english/article/1101978837065

Battle of Berlin he alters sourced figures without stateing any source which can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Berlin&diff=47120722&oldid=46740056

He has done the same in many article if there is any doubt that this is sneaky vandalism then I can provide more articles where he has done the same thing, altered sourced figures without himself proveding any source. (Deng 09:49, 8 April 2006 (UTC))

• • Lack of citing sources and strong lack of discussion about topics. It looks like this IP would rather argue through edit summaries than use a Talk page. (See contribs and User Talk page.) It also appears that the editor is becoming frustrated with having to keep changing "500,000" German casualities to "200,000" without citing a source.
  • Blockable offences:
    • 3RR on Battle of Kursk for these three edits: [2], [3], and [4].
    • The registered account was blocked for 3 hours on 4/6/06 by WoohooKitty for personal attacks and reckless editing. This block is also for 3RR on the 1st of April.
  • I am going to keep investigating and watching this IP and registered user for any other violations. Due to the age of some of the violations, a temporary block that would have been placed would already have expired. All future violations should be easy to prove and placed on WP:AIAV, otherwise placed here as a note to this investigation. --Zsinj^Talk 16:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

    • And again here Second Battle of El Alamein http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_Battle_of_El_Alamein&diff=24902226&oldid=24323931 and again in the same article here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_Battle_of_El_Alamein&diff=35093349&oldid=35078784 This must stop, this is sneaky vandalism and it must stop (Deng 13:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC))

I revert it and tell him he needs to back up his sources. He says he IS the source and "I cant give you any wevsite sources because it has not been released onto the net, i work for the studio." I tell him that this violates the Wikipedia:Original research rule, but he kept on doing and ignored me. When I told him that I reported him, he said "y r u such a rat, bum head?" and "they have never had to deal with tattle-tales like you mr. bum head!"// --CyberGhostface 12:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Ugh, I didn't see this one down here at the bottom. I've commented on the Talk page and reverted his most recent addition of the uncited material from the article. If it continues, try to find a 3RR violation or a personal attack to block him for. --Zsinj^Talk 14:11, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

No one has caught him and everyone ignores him. He adds obscure swear words to articles such as penis or gay. This user has possibly been warned over 8 times, and no one blocks him. He is still being silly around Wikipedia. Anyway, thanks for looking at this if you are actually looking. One of his vandals was on this page. I will give the URL.

• 69.59.189.156 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) - a peculiar mix of legit edits and vandalism (usually simply blanking a comment or part of a page). Seems to be no regular pattern to it, except it's all in the last 36 hours. Have warned. PS - hope I've done this right - this page has got a hell of a lot more complicated recently! Grutness...wha? 05:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Archived. I suspect that this is either a tactic to evade detection or administrator intervention, or a shared IP. Since this is an IP editing for the first time, I assume the latter. // [admin] Pathoschild (^talk/_map) 09:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merecat (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has crossed the line from a mere content dispute to breaking the rules by deleting without cause my comments to a talk page. Additionally, Merecat is lying about this, and other things, using veiled ad hominems, is gaming the system. Merecat is apparently willing to do whatever it takes to obstruct progress on the rationale to impeach article, including break the rules and hope to slip by. This brazen rule breaking leads me to believe that merecat has been getting away with murder for some time now, and I request that merecat at least be recused from that article, and that whatever the process is to determine whether or not a user should be banned start. Nobody should have to quit adding comments or working on a project because as far as they know, anything they do ill just be deleted without cause. (and obviously and only for the purpose and obviously and only because those comments were inconvenient to merecats case, not because there was any good reason to delete.)

  • The request for comment is receiving quite a lot of attention. If you need a block it would probably be best to post to WP:AN/I (as a block could be controversial) unless you can point to specific edits that are vandalism. Petros471 19:32, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Malcolm_McPloptick (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) -- I suspect this user is part of the multiple IP vandalism efforts from IP space 80.47.*.* that is vandalizing the Scientology related articles. The two images uploaded by this user are both recently used by the persistent vandals from 80.47.*.* to vandalize the Scientology and David Miscavige articles among many others. Please check out the edit histories of those two articles. Note this user has only made one other edit, which was also vandalism to a Scientology-related article // Vivaldi (talk) 18:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

He has now attempted to remove the issues on his talk page rather than deal with them. --Kickstart70·Talk 02:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

A couple more points about this editor: 1) I believe it probable that he's a sockpuppet of a nameblocked user, because on his third day after registration he complained here on Jimbo's talk page about Curp's blocking usenames with "shit" in them. (2) he's edited some pretty fraught areas (espcially around Lolicon and the image deleted by Sam Korn in a really unhelpful way, e.g. "Ya, remove child porn is censorship" (sentiment and illiteracy typical) (3) this diff (both sides) and this block log indicate he's also likely nameblocked user "Child p0rnographer" (which in turn is one of many similar variations on that username, all blocked, used by one person) Herostratus

• JASpencer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) claims that Rudolf Virchow was a Freemason, spreads and pushes this with with emphasis.

He uses ambiguous sources and although I asked him several times not to do so:

• Talk:Catholicism and Freemasonry#Virchow history of the article
• Talk:Rudolf_Virchow history

Again another claim in an article:

• Kulturkampf: [6]

He confesses that "that indicates (points to) Virchow being a Freemason" but indication is speculation. He still pushes these unproven claims: [7]

He claims, that I have to proove that these ambiguous sources are not reliable and blames me that I cannot read: [8]

I would be glad if Virchow was a Freemason, but I cannot see a credible proove nor the relevance for these articles. Normally you should be able to mention at least the Lodge where a Mason was initiated. I am from Germany and I have lots of sources to check if somebody was a Freemason in Germany, but although Virchow was mentioned as the creator of the word Kulturkampf and as a friend of some individual Freemasons, he is not listed as a Freemason. There was not even a speculation eg. in contrast to Beethoven or Schiller where we still have no proof. As a Freemason, I have neither the time nor the interest in an edit war so I will no longer revert those non-encyclopedic claims and leave this case to you. But I hope you will be interested in quality like me.

I have the same account in the German Wikipedia with lots of edits and even got an award for my support recently: "Aktion Winterspeck" so I think I should be quite unsuspicious to be unreliable. Perhaps he's even another sockpuppet since JASpencer is a single purpose account and spreads his conspiracy theories against freemasonry like the other accounts? These socks seem to reincarnate faster than they can be blocked. --SGOvD webmaster (talk) 21:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

First I've heard of this. Needless to say that there has been no dispute resolution tried on what is essentially a content dispute as to whether an assertion is properly and reliably sourced. As for being a sock or a single purpose account, as I have been around since 2003 so the allegations surprise me. Please let me know of the outcome. This user has been trying to throw dirt at me because of a series of content disputes. JASpencer 12:26, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Could this please be removed as (1) I was not warned and (2) this is a content dispute and there has been no RFC done on this. JASpencer 19:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Based on the edits made, this user appears to be yet another sockpuppet of Joestieg. Joestieg has been warned repeatedly under both of the first two identities and should probably be banned. // Choess 04:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I would like to add that since Choess reported this, Jake Scorpio has twice altered or deleted comments from the Coca tea talk page mentioned above. And also, since this is such a convoluted situation with multiple sockpuppets, my notes on what happened might prove helpful. -- Veyklevar 14:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Veyklevar started this edit war and constantly deletes useful information that users are adding to the coca tea page. Despite warnings and a discussion, he responds with personal attacks and more vandalism. He also violated the three-revert rule (please see history page of coca tea) Thanks for your attention to this matter.-- Ukiemob 14:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Now one of the known sockpuppets, namely Ukiemob (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), seems to be going through my contributions and gratuitously reverting random copy-edits and spelling fixes that I've made.

• There is a complex pattern of vandalism going on at the Dalip Singh page (history) -- a good number of IP addresses are showing up and inserting (among other things) the text "HE KILLED A GUY!" These IP addresses have been warned repeatedly, and, once warned, the text starts coming from another IP. The IPs involved so far (from most recent to least recent):

And that's just in the last two hours! The page history shows that this has apparently been going on since 2138 UTC on 7 April 2006. Yansa 04:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

• I suspect the person may be using open proxies to make these edits. I have copied these IPs to WP:OP for further investigation. --Zsinj^Talk 07:01, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Proxy scans came back negative. --Zsinj^Talk 14:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Cigammagicwizard (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) -- He keeps on posting nonsense information to the Saw III article. He has been reverted a number of times and has been warned by other people yet he keeps on persisting. // CyberGhostface 10:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Recieved a block on 4/6 for 3RR on another movie's article. If this continues like it is, find an instance of 3RR and he can be blocked for that. --Zsinj^Talk 14:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Following are all probably related (sockpuppets) to the 3RR ban of User:The Psycho here:

• Boatfarm (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Adding a new [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gay Nigger Association of America (12th nomination)|GNAA VfD] (keep it short)

as well as:

• Sn0rlax (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), continuing where AncorZonr left off after the page was sprotected
• possibly 152.163.101.14 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), an aol ip, but no checkuser has been done --He:ah? 23:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Moved from AIV by JesseW, the juggling janitor 00:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

• There seems to be some computer hopping by a vandal at Malvern Preparatory School]. The IPs seem all in a series:

152.17.52.140 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

152.17.139.112 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

152.17.53.190 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)

They seem to insert and delete nonsense text. The IPs are from Wake Forest University. It could be one guy in the library or a group of them in the dorms. Bucketsofg 12:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

• Zerida (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) -- This user repeatedly removes a certain category from the subcategory Category:Egyptian Americans. After several attempts to explain that user shouldn't impose political POVs failed, and since the user has at least one 3RR violation record[13], an admin has protected the category but not in its original state[14] (mistakenly?). User's reason is that the subcategory remained several months until a user added the category, in addition to other comments in the talk page. - Eagle^talk 14:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Now on WP:RFAr. In the meantime in another third party wants to take a look at Category talk:Egyptian Americans and help reach a consensus... Petros471 16:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Arbitration was rejected. I've unprotected the category for now, as it has been a while with no discussion. Petros471 10:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
