Wikipedia:Requests for investigation

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mr-Natural-Health (talk | contribs) at 16:55, 9 April 2004 (=User:RK=). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.


This page helps responsible users to prevent vandalism from taking place. List a contributor by IP or username, if they have vandalized the Wikipedia.

Note: Please add new alerts at the top of the "Current alerts" list.


Two levels of urgency

If you want to alert everyone, leave the "minor edit" option unchecked. Be careful: this is the default.

If the listing doesn't require an immediate response, please be sure to check the "minor edit" option.

Format

You can use the format under the Current Alerts heading: IP address, pages touched, damage done. For a more comprehensive guide for dealing with different types of vandalism, see Dealing with vandalism.


Blocks and other tools

For a list of currently blocked IPs and usernames and the reason why they were blocked, visit: Special:Ipblocklist. Tools for finding information on an IP number:

Adding someone to this page

When you notice what you believe to be an act of vandalism at work, take note of that person's IP number or handle. Edit this page, adding the person's IP number, and sign it with four tildes (~~~~) to give the date and time.

Then put the person's IP or handle in the Summary field and hit save.

Vandalism appears on Recent Changes, along with the id of the alleged vandal, and other wikipedians can decide whether damage has actually occurred. If there is consensus that an attack was correctly identified, everyone will help repair the damage. When the attack is finished, come back and remove the information you added.

If no attack occurred (e.g. it was just a difference of opinion about what is appropriate content or style, not intentional defacement), then the line will be removed from the vandalism in progress page. We hope cases of mistaken listing will be rare.

Please only use this page for genuine malicious vandalism, and only for a sustained attack. If you make any changes to this page for other reasons, put something like "Not calling a vandalism alert" in the summary box, or mark it as a minor edit.

Cautions and alternatives

However, please do not label isolated instances of text deletions, replacements or odd additions as VANDALISM unless they seem intentionally overly lewd or offensive. More often than not, this is just a visitor to the site experimenting with how to use it (also see newbie test) -- labeling them as a VANDAL is a sure way of ensuring they will not become contributors. Only add alerts to this page of true VANDALISM such as a systematic attack on several articles. If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, don't hesitate to list the edit on Wikipedia:RC patrol where it can be scrutinised by other editors. Above all, please be polite at first and give the person the benefit of the doubt until they prove they deserve otherwise.

If you need help or think someone else does, please leave a note at Wikipedia:clueless newbies.

Please note that deliberate vandalism of this page is likely to lead to you being blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If you disagree with someone's edits, please see the following pages:

Note: Please add new alerts at the top of the "Current alerts" list.

66.25.93.252

Has been going around modifying pages to turn US spellings to British spellings, British spellings to US spellings, and some changes which are neither (e.g. imminent to immanent) apparently at random. The fact that this is two-way makes me think zie's a vandal rather than a pedant.

User: Bearings

Has been adding a spam link to a (mechanical) bearing company to every page he can find with the word bearing or bearings. Pollinator 02:31, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • Blocked for 24 hours. Fennec 02:37, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User:RK

User RK is persistently attacking pages on natural medicine. He is initiating a revert war on traditional Chinese medicine, as well as making personal attacks. He has been asked to stop vandalising this page. heidimo 02:17, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • RK is also vandalising Alternative medicine in the same manner. His personal attacks are becoming more heated (not to mention that he calls me "he" when I am in fact a "she.") heidimo 16:12, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
  • User:RK vandalized Alternative medicine in 2004, to date, on 20:45, 8 Apr 2004, 13:04, 27 Mar 2004, and on 15:34, 6 Jan 2004. Furthermore, all of these reverts consisted of personal attacks directed specifically against me. His last attack on alternative medicine occurred about the same time as his attack on TCM. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 16:55, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
    • The following quote is from User talk:RK
      • RK, please be reminded that personal attacks such as this one you entered as an edit summary to your last edit of alternative medicine, "# (Removinh nonsense from an internet vandal. Mr-Natural-Health is on the verge of being banned for his harassment)" is counter to well established Wikipedia policy. Fred Bauder 19:36, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)

Repeated nonsense on Infanticide page. Pollinator 20:31, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Pine and Scots pine

Not vandalism, but dispute over data's verifiability in the pages, between User:MPF and User:Kenneth Alan. Discussions moved to Talk:Pine and Talk:Scots pine Kenneth Alansson 21:22, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Restored here, so that others can judge for themselves:

Not anymore. Your persistant out-of-context and ad hominen labeling me a vandal, based upon my former disputes with others over article data's appropriateness is irrelevant to this talk page. However, your persistant POV behaviour of practically claiming the Pine and Scots pine articles and blocking valid contributions by other users by repeatedly reverting them is considered vandalism. Kenneth Alansson 21:52, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User:Wik

User Wik is removing the dispute notice from Erika Steinbach. Because of the three-revert-rule, I cannot revert the page to the unvandalized version before tomorrow, but Wik's vandalized version is nothing if not disputed. Removal of the dispute notice from a disputed page must be considered vandalism. I propose a block. Nico 20:56, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

User:TDC

TDC won't stop vandalizing Karl Marx. He even wrote this on my user page the other day:

This isn't a typical edit war. This guy cannot be reasoned with. Take a look at these comments:

172, if that is indeed your real name, believe you me that you have met in TDC the biggest most stubborn prick on the face of planet earth, and I will not stop until your stomach churns with bile at the site of [TDC]. I dont feel that this is a waste of time, I get a great deal of satisfaction out of this.TDC 06:02, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Crassus

(User:Crassus | contributions). 4 edits, all bad. Twice inserted false death figures into Leopold II of Belgium (which could have been a genuine error, at least the first time), replaced "right-wing" with "racist, facist" in Vlaams Blok, and inserted a link to a wares site. Not worth banning, at least so far, but needs watching. Tannin 00:30, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

A quote:

What are you, a bunch of dweebs? you are supposed to arbitrarily block me, so I can come back with another user name and another IP number. Looks like the machine is starting to get a bit weary of being constantly ridiculed. Best estimates are for at least another six months of this before a genuine concern for accuracy begins to replace administrative strategies based on ego and identity.

User:Kenneth Alan

- see also: Requests for comment/Kenneth Alan +

The articles dealing with Yiddish language and Germanic languages are vandalized not only at the English Wikipedia, but in numerous languages (German, Dutch, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Esperanto, Romanian, Polish, Catalan etc.) in a massive attack by User:Kenneth Alan, [[:sv:Anv%E4ndare:K%E4nde_Aulan]] aka 68.0.146.17 (also known as 68.0.149.88, 68.0.146.230, 68.0.144.17, 68.0.144.217, 68.0.150.158, 68.0.151.124, 68.0.152.92, 68.0.152.146 68.0.152.245 68.0.179.82 68.225.148.238 68.225.150.66 68.225.150.160). It caused a lot of work to clean up after him, he should certainly be blocked before he make more damage. // Zw 21:47, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

He is still active, and just vandalized Yiddish language again, although I've asked him to stop. He also vandalized West Germanic language. Someone please block him. Zw 22:33, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Generally I will say he seems to be intentionally adding junk and inaccurate information to Wikipedia. At least he has zero knowledge of the issues he is writing about. His vandalism is very annoying, because he is doing it on all wikipedias which have articles dealing with Yiddish and Germanic languages. A wikipedia-wide block should be in order. Zw 16:18, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Thank you again, Dr. FASCIST! I haven't continued arguing and here you are spouting off like a lunatic, reverting User:Moink's contribution to divert our attention to my User Talk:Kenneth Alan, because I am not a vandal. Scream, scream, scream your fucking head off you little bitch. I'm sure I happen to be the one paying the most attention while you pitifully squirm. Perhaps I better not, you're starting to make me sick. User:Kenneth Alan

Which is just one of other personal attacks I have seen this user write this evening. Suggest blocking. -- Graham :) | Talk 20:37, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Next time I'm being talked about in the third person somewhere or other, could someone let me know on my user talk page? I just stumbled across mentions of myself cuz I happen to be watching the right pages. Anyway, I moved the discussion because I feel that this page is for simple vandalism, not POV disputes etc., though I know others feel differently. This should more be discussed on the relevant talk pages, followed by the user talk page, followed by a request for comment (which I understand exists). But it's not up to Kenneth to revert edits about himself; at the very least it makes him look bad. And while I'm here, may I please point your attention to Wikipedia:No personal attacks? Thank you. moink 05:19, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It felt automatically ad hominem because the chiding upon me wasn't a dispute with the content per se, which I am better able to handle by explaining. I have felt myself clam up upon the scolding and not wishing to provide my reasons or sources. I am not good at handling conflict. I have become more happy with people when they stop: spitting rhetoric about how I am a "vandal" and immediately discounting every view or contribution I present, reverting just about everything they see from me. OOH, blockityblockblockblocky, baaaan meeeeee! Kenneth Alansson 04:17, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This user is still active and is now adding less than accurate information to Nobility (see Talk:Nobility). I suggest blocking Mintguy (T) 16:20, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Now User:Kenneth Alan vandalized this page again and deleted himself. Zw 01:19, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC) + User:Zw has no fucking clue what he's ranting and raving about! All the info you need can be accessed from this page into other areas of the website by the links provided. Moink had redirected this issue and stated that I wasn't a vandal, to which our favorite Zw vandal had reverted and added a lot of hate in my direction, just to get it back and whine further about all the energy (s)he's putting into my affairs, rather than working on other Wikipedia projects and trying to benefit the website. It has become a singular crusade/witchhunt by this user against me. For instance, I didn't attack the languages, just tried to clarify what I saw as an error. You can clearly see the irrational vehement and debasive elements sought by this character towards my fate as a contributor. Kenneth Alansson 03:13, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

This Mintguy obviously has some problems seeing the world from more open perspectives, seeming quite monomanic about everything he is referring to. I suggest blocking. Kenneth Alansson 16:35, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Rishartha, Aenea666 and other reincarnations of User:Lord Cornholio

This individual appears to have created his/her login for the sole purpose of vandalism. The deceptive use of edit summaries and the minor addition tag is damning.

I did some tracking of this user. There's a pretty good case that this user is not just Lord Cornholio et al, but also at least twenty different IP addresses. The reason I have these suspicions is based on the fact that the IPs are often used to vandalize the same page: He gives each page 3 to 7 tries, and doesn't realize we're smarter than he is. Perhaps an AOL user? If my suspicions about him and his identities are correct, he's been vandalizing pages throughout the month of March, even up to today, and may (I say may, because I don't know) be the one launching attacks against RickK.

Since User:Raptor made the above edit I guess Bird is creating more puppets? - Texture 21:58, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)


Bird seems to be mostly or totally blanking articles, most of which the user has contributed to extensively, or even exclusively. The big exception to this is the brain article. That was almost completely blanked with allegation of a copvio. I checked and the standard procedure for copyvios had not been followed which lead me to follow this up. I'd say bird requires watching over the next few days. David Newton 17:22, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • To get some context here, you might want to review Talk:Brain and also, User talk:Bird, before it was blanked, when I and Bird were having a discussion see this edit: [6]. It appears that our peer review standards were not high enough for Bird or something. Anyway s/he seemed to get bent out of shape about image formatting and decided to just leave. --Lexor|Talk 17:38, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Bird now appears to be going by the name of Accuracy dispute. Washington irving 19:56, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It appears that User:bird has now recruited a sock puppet. User:Accuracy dispute has already undone some of the reversions that were made to articles earlier. We have to sort this out.
There are two separate problems I see. One is that we have to stop Bird and sock puppets blanking articles. The other is that we have to investigate whether the articles are indeed copyvios, and if they are, we need to delete them. I'm going to protect pages that Bird is messing with so that we can sort this out once and for all. David Newton 20:01, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Where can we continue discussion of these pages. I can help re images. and original content. Washington irving 20:04, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, but you are the vandals. User bird questioned the integrity of contributions under that byline, and several users decided they would rather have innaccurate articles that were not even recognized as valid by the author. User bird stubbed the articles so better informed writers can fill them in when they find time, between their important task of telling other writers what they should do.
A mob of vigilantees moved into the USER_talk:bird page to tell user bird what user birds problem was but of this cabal of very intelligent encyclopedia writers, not one has attempted to accurately articulate what were birds concerns, and in the rush to lynch a vandal, few cared that it was bird questioning the provinence of bird's contributions. This can go on forever or people can respect that others do thing they might not want them to do and accept the loss. That is the outcome of this: the user name bird is lost to this community and I will not repair it. If people want this to stop, they will start researching and contributing to articles and will not grab a rope and yell vandal when somebody else makes a severe edit on text they wrote but can't fully trust. Or, you can spread the false romour that bird created intentionally false articles meerly for the opportunity to the be victim of a lynch mob.

Adding material of dubious provenance surreptitiously, then announcing it to be a copyright violation without specifying enough to allow its clean removal and then creating confusion with sock puppet user-ids constitutes bannable behaviour in my opinion. Pretending to do so likewise. I suggest starting on the procedure for banning Bird in all its incarnations. -- The Anome 16:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

There was no serruptitious action. The material was added over the course of several weeks, there were comments added to the talk pages inviting criticism, such as the posting of a list of names of the cerebral hemispheres about which the user had honest doubts but attempted to make a good faith effor to identify. After the questionable identifications were on the talk page for two days, the user assumed them to be accepted by others who said they were watching, and placed them on the talk page. Further research led to further understanding about the regions, and more accurate identification and the user updated the caption to reflect accurate information.

When other users began to question aspects of the layout, users doubts further increased, and the user began reverting text about which user had doubts. If this is a project that ejects members who continue to question their writing after it is completed, or who do not allow other members to rest their confidence in content on the identity of an author, then that arbitration committee probably better just arbitrate, because that is the only standard at play - one which is arbitrary and capricious.

The user claims the user was hazed. There have been reports that new identities introduced in this environment were treated with either hazing or warm encouragement depending largely on political affiliation and acquiescence to acts of group agression. User:Your_Love_Is_Hollow

What you falsely call "apologist" is actually just the Wiki NPOV based upon the objective facts. I only reverted or edited to make the article NPOV and factually accurate.

Well, Nat, aka, James D. Quirk, you are up to your usual SSEE censorous bigotry and lying hypocrisy, eh? I guess that your "psycho-active" drugs were completely ineffective, afterall, and they still have not given you any actual "personal integrity", and they never would nor could.

My main problem with this user is not so much with the content he has added to pages (my threshold for tolerance of opposing viewpoints is high enough to let him slide under it, even though I disagree strongly with his opinions), but rather with the insults he has repeatedly flung at other Wikipedians. On more than a dozen occasions, he has refered on talk pages to other users as "Marxist-PC bigots," "lying hypocrites", and "SSEE" (an acronym he has apparently coined himself, meaning "Selfishly Subjective and Egotistical Egoism", which he has used on other websites before). He should be re-banned not for his edits, but for his repeated (and repetitious) insults. Andrewlevine 03:58, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Sure Andrew. You don't seem to have any "main problem" with other Wikipedians, like David Gerard, etc. ad nauseum, falsely accusing me of being a "Nazi", or of being a "racist", or of being "anti-semitic", etc. etc.

I assume you can provide references to me saying all of those, then?

It is quite obvious that you are a "hypocrite", Andrew, in your "main problem" with me, as you call for my banning, only, which is the point.

Other people keep reverting your edits because you spam them all over the place without regard for appropriateness or what makes a coherent sentence in English. Is grammar now Marxist-PC Bigotry? - David Gerard 17:27, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)

On the contrary, my providing links to any appropriate articles is not SPAM, whatsoever, and this is true whether in your POV happen to think so or not. Coherent sentences or grammar have never been any issue, but, is merely just another "straw-man" or "red-herring" arguement of David's and of which is quite typical of him. What else isn't new?

As for those few and quite specific descriptions of some "others" that you just happen to have a "main problem" with, these very descriptions are both quite accurate and factual, and are based upon the actual "behavior" and upon the actual POV's of those few Wikipedians mentioned above, yourself included, Andrew, of being "hypocritical", that have unfairly always attempted to either ban or to censor me, or "revert me" and based solely or mostly only upon my own cosmotheist religious/philosophical ideas and ideals.

James Horner article

The James Horner article (about the film composer) seems to have been removed, history and all. Moreover, its talk page not only has an obscenity on it, but has been protected, though it is not on the list of protected pages. I don't see any discussion of this in the usual places (unless there's a usual place I'm just unaware of). What's going on here? -mhr 18:58, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The talk page is not actually protected, it just had the protected msg. As for the article, it may never have existed. --No-One Jones 19:03, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I'm sure the article existed. I've read it before (which is why the change to the talk page was showing up in my Watchlist today), and there was even a debate on the talk page about including some content from an external Web site (possibly here, but I'm not certain), which the author of said site wanted to include. It's a bit disturbing that it seems to have up-and-vanished... -mhr 20:52, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
It did indeed exist. Snoyes deleted it in December as it was apparently a copyvio. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:38, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I'll write up a new page. Taco 02:44, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

User:Mariusz Marcel Ernst

(User:Mariusz Marcel Ernst | talk | contributions) Only edits seem to be adding self in article space (List of Germans for example ), and childish vandalism re User:Secretlondon/User:Secretlondon/Children. Immediate block perhaps? Dysprosia 20:07, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I left him a polite note asking him not to add himself to these lists - and he declared war on me :( Secretlondon 20:13, Jan 27, 2004 (UTC)
Probably an indication that this user may not saddle up and fly right...blocked now Dysprosia Dysprosia 20:15, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Returning under lots of (mostly obvious) user names which tend to get blocked by multiple people within the first minute, but still being a royal pain. Pakaran. 21:34, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

195.92.168.172,174,175

(User:195.92.168.174 | talk | contributions ) is wiping others' comments from talk pages -- see [7]. Needs close watching.

Keeps adding "a hobby for middle-class women, who have plenty of spare time since abandoning traditional activities like sewing and cooking." to Feminism, despite being told not to.

May want to count in (User:195.92.168.172 | talk | contributions) - seem to work in tandem or something. They don't seem to quite get NPOV. Dysprosia 14:43, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Current Feminism article is simply a celebration of an ideology with no balance
Whatever. If you want to criticise, read this article, understand it, and then go ahead and criticise according to this policy. Otherwise, we cannot accept your contributions. Dysprosia 14:48, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I have read and understood - I suggest you do the same

(User:195.92.168.175 | talk | contributions) mere vandalism, page blanking, falsification of user comments: seems to have it in for Secretlondon: IP now blocked -- The Anome 16:37, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Persistent Vandalism

192.139.27.18

User:192.139.27.18: Several, occasional incidents over the last three months; most recently The Scorpions. Andy Mabbett 17:45, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

137.94.11.222 / 205.189.49.40

is consistently vandalising Indian independence movement and Subash Chandra Bose with his PoV. The user seems to be ignorant of the usage of his/the article's talk page, and never reads the edit summaries. He has not responded to any request to consider rephrasing or properly substantiating his claims.

He sometimes blanks the article page to post his comments and has consistently in the past used (and has been warned for using) copyrighted material for presenting his case. A case in point is his repeated insistence in adding Swami Vivekananda to the list of Indian freedom leaders, and his blanking the contents of Subash Chandra Bose in the past (Without any substantial evidence, that would at least make it a NPOV dispute and could be dealt with)

There seems to be no way we can communicate to this user and reach a compromise. The user has not made any other worthwhile contribution to wikipedia. I advocate banning this user's IP address. chance 09:15, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)

  • A consistent vandal, comes back almost everyday to make the same changes. Also has used the IP 205.189.49.40 . Has been vandalising regularly since 17 Nov, the latest being 5 Dec. Is exploring and moving on to newer pages. Jay 22:10, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • 205.189.49.40 has been vandalising Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in the pattern same as above. Requires immediate blocking. Jay 08:23, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • I see 4 acts of vandalism over 24 hours - how does this "require immediate blocking?" -- Pakaran 08:26, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • I don't know. But, 137. shows no signs of tiring. He may not be a vandal who believes in blitzkrieg attacks, but as can be seen from his yesterday's edit in the Indian independence movement page he is madly persistent - saying the same things all over again, and my, what a nauseating plagiarist he is! This fellow cannot even bring himself up to defend what he says, with a few words of his own. I am sick of this attitude. I bet he is waiting for us to tire of him, and let him do all he wants, however stupid that may sound. If this is not persistent vandalism, what is? Something has to be done about this. Maybe a protection request for the pages, and not allow others edit? To protect the articles from one single person? chance 08:44, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)
        • 137's contribution for 9th Dec was the vandalising of Mahatma Gandhi. Protection of pages won't help as there's no dearth of articles for him to play with. Maybe ban the two IPs and check if he comes up with new ones. Jay 09:12, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • The requests of non-anonymous users who have clearly been investing a lot of time undoing the damage of an anonymous user should be honored as soon as possible. Peak 08:48, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • 137's at it again (on Indian independence movement! Grrrr. The 137.* address is registered to Royal Military College, Ontario, so we'll have to keep an eye out for Good Guys who get banned too. The other address is an ISP. Could someone please block this guy? Gaurav 17:47, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • And.... (Is it me who is getting annoyingly repetitive :-) ? )... again on Dec 12 in the articles, Indian independence movement and Swami Vivekananda. Seriously, when does a user get banned? How more serious should it be than this? One user who has done nothing to wikipedia for the last one month, except defacing the same set of articles still lurks around, quite freely. I would appreciate if some sysop takes note of this and suggest what should be done. It has been nearly two weeks, and nobody seems willing to check this user :-( chance 05:22, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)

137.94.11.222 has been blocked. --mav 05:36, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No longer blocked and he is back with his antics again in Indian independence movement. Has he been removed from Blocked IPs? I dont see the IP there. chance 04:55, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
137.94.11.222 is still at it. Hadal 20:22, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
137.94.11.222 still vandalizing Wikipedia as of 9 Feb 2004. Ban his IP, at least. Connelly 08:10, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Repeated Vandalism by 12.64.etc/12.65.etc

Over a long period of time several hoaxes have been added to Wikipedia from these IP ranges. Many of these hoax articles seem perfectly reasonable at first glance, often mixing facts in with the fiction. One of their favorite targets seems to be LeAnn Rimes. Some have been in concert with User:199.248.201.253. I am not sure if they are from the same user, but they appear to be. Examples (very incomplete):

I am posting it here so that hopefully more people will see this. --Maximus Rex 08:17, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Someone needs to put this entire class C network on permanent ban. Repeated vandalism, all the same style, also many deleted pages that were hoaxes. First, the IPs that have histories (I checked every IP on the subnet). Daniel Quinlan 20:45, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)

12.64.96.36 -12.64.96.48 -12.64.96.61 -12.64.96.74 -12.64.96.81 - 12.64.96.112 - 12.64.96.113 - 12.64.96.137 - 12.64.96.148 - 12.64.96.154 - 12.64.96.155 - 12.64.96.161 - 12.64.96.177 - 12.64.96.253 -

add to the mix these pages which are deleted (or not, someone is restoring them against policy to delete obvious vandalism)


User:24.71.223.140

This user has a long secret history of vandalism, apparent only by following up his edits at his usepage. Interspersed are minor contributions (links etc.) that keep him from being obvious. Wetman 05:23, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)~~

User:66.99.232.130

Vandalising Nagasaki, Nagasaki several times. --Vikingstad 16:45, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

User:65.165.173.1

Has a long record of screwing up pages. Please block immediately! --Vikingstad 19:44, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC) Just a note; this IP belongs to my high school and is used by the entire network so it gets frustrating when I go to school and want to work on wikipedia and find the IP blocked. If there is some way around that it would be nice. -- David4286 00:42, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)

User:141

Adding several list pages to the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page. Most of these seem completely unjustified. It is a waste of time for users such as myself in the sense that responses must now be written. SimonMayer 18:24, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
