Summary

edit

This is my own account. I've left out diffs to keep this short. The evidence can be found below. OlYellerTalktome 22:48, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

I ran into Carbonator at Everybody Draw Mohammed Day. He was attempting to change the description of the event to annual and when he was confronted by other editors, including myself, the wheels began to fall off. At first, Carbonator was uncivil. Then, through some coaxing, started engaging in a conversation on the talk page. He felt that I was being condescending despite my attempt to assure him that I meant no ill will. Admittedly, I sometimes run into the issue when trying to find the compromise between getting my point across and not writing 40 pages to do so. After only providing two references which other editors, including myself, did not find substantial enough to warrant changing the description, things got worse. Carbonator started leaving vulgar messages on his talk page for me, socking to avoid blocks and in an attempt to bolster his argument, and then edit warring. After several blocks and the passing of the would-be anniversary of the EDMD event, he disappeared only to reappear as a sock and attempt to have a page I created, speedily deleted. I initiated a CheckUser via an admin I talked to on IRC. It resulted in an indefinite ban. I've created this listing after the indefinite ban for use at a later time, if necessary.

Notes/Observations

edit
  • Seems to mostly edit pages dealing with Islam and controversies dealing with Muslims and Islam
  • Often edits BLP's infobox and changes the stated religion to say "none" instead of "Agnostic" or "Atheist"
  • Sometimes edits pages dealing with other religions besides Islam
  • Edits pages that deal with the perceived teachings of South Park episodes
  • Often makes buffer edits to, I assume, avoid looking like an WP:SPA by changing hyphens in articles
  • Removes warning from talk page as quickly as possible but leaves one low level warning to, I assume, make it look like he's only been warned once
