      • The IP address belongs to a San Diego school. We're going to see a different user from that IP address with almost every edit. At least some edits from this IP have been productive. The edit to FDA is a classic newbie test. Just revert such tests.-gadfium 00:55, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Broadbandreports

This user confirmed via e-mail that he is Adam, aka Hockeyfun1@aol.com, the owner of computersoc.com. Computersoc.com is a bulletin board which Adam started after he angrily left Broadbandreports. Adam now believes he has the right to blank Broadbandreports because the site "doesn't deserve their stuff there". Adam is a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology and he's used his dorm IP address, 129.21.118.234, to repeatedly blank Broadbandreports. After he was blocked he used his AOL account to blank the page. I'd appreciate if a few people would add the article to their watchlist, because I can't watch it all the time. It doesn't seem like many people are watching the article. Rhobite 23:33, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

If you have a wet pussy, let me lick your clit and finger fuck you all night long. I will take care of you in a way that no man ever could".

I informed that an anon user 84.154.xxx.xxx has been continuously vandalizing the page by replacing the content with nonsence and abusive words. Frankly, I am surprised that no reaction followed despite obvious and repeated cases of vandalism combined with personal abuse. Last, eighth(!) case of vandalism by user 84.154.xx.xx was carried out three days ago on Feb 24 (pls, see [here]). In order to confuse the editors this user repeatedly acted in a very malicious manner, putting innocent comments for history log (such as, "sp", "added precision to beginnings", "correction", "stylistic improvement", "refer to discussion") while simultaneously replacing the content with nonsense and abuse. Below you can compare all 8 (eight) vandalisms by this anon user:

Hope this case of vandalism will be dealt more seriously this time and the vandal will be punished.--Tabib 14:13, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hi Tabib. One thing that is helpful is to always tell the vandal that they've been noticed. Put something on their talk page, let them know they've been spotted. For repeat offences warn them that they can be blocked from editing. Make the edit summary "vandalism warning" or something like that. Firstly this will alert admins that something is going on; secondly it means that, if they persist after a couple of warnings an admin can come straight in and put a block on them. Also sometimes a warning stops them. I'll try to keep an eye on this too. DJ Clayworth 14:45, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi DJ Clayworth. Thanks for good advice. I thought that simply the existence of fact of vandalism would be enough to ban that anon user from Wikipedia. Following your advice, I put warnings on talkpages of various IP's used by anon 84.154.xx.xx. Also I want to thank AllyUnion for putting vandalism protection in the Safavids page.--Tabib 10:24, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • I’m sorry to be so persistent about 198.81.26.42, but this person’s antics have become tiresome at best. The anonymous comments defending Anuzutica at VfD/Anuzutica are originating from IP addresses 198.81.26.42 and 64.12.116.74, both of which are AOL. Both of these IP addresses are also defending Muddy joy on its VfD page (where s/he made a similar accusation of racism, only this time claimed to be American Indian (why not claim both, if applicable?)). Note that both articles Anuzutica and Muddy joy were originally created from the same IP address 64.12.116.138, which is also AOL. I strongly suspect all three IP addresses are the same person (or persons, coordinating their efforts). I also believe the same user may have used 198.81.26.15 (added link to Anuzutica from Derg) and 198.81.26.46 (added a link to Anuzutica from Ethiopia, and then vandalized Ethiopia following the link's removal; subsequently listed here.) And FWIW, this person’s accusations of racism themselves come off as racist parody. -- Gyrofrog 22:57, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • User is constantly/relentlessly entering highly POV creationism links into scientific articles and reverting any valid changes to his edits[4] all the while sputtering on about how "atheistic leftists" are out to get him. User is also removing valid information from articles.[5] [6]--Deglr6328 06:02, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      This is a content dispute, not vandalism. The parties should pursue dispute resolution. And 220 should create an account. Gazpacho

Rather, Deglr is squawking that I added a perfectly scientific critique of the RNA world hypothesis. Evidently he wants to quash all criticism, which would mean that the article ceases to be NPOV. Deglr also complained that I removed a link to self-replicating peptides from it, but objected to a link to DNA instability that had far more to do with the topic! Evidently he doesn't understand chemistry.

Of course, I never said anything about how "atheistic leftists" are out to get ME. Rather, I pointed out that Deglr commits the genetic fallacy by thinking that the scientific arguments can be discredited simply by pointing out that it comes from an intelligent design journal; he doesn't seem to mind when articles come from strident antitheists, so likewise have a religio-ideological axe to grind.220.244.224.8 06:34, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Armed Naked Kommandos

  • I saw what appeared to be maybe a hundred or so robot like vandalizations in a dozen minutes or so from a single source called "Wikipedia Armed Naked Kommandos". I see from the above "but there are a LOT of page move vandalisms to sort out again" that it APPEARS someone is going to revert a robot BY HAND. Why? Scripts can be written to automatically undo every change made by xxx between time aaa and bbb. Find a volunteer (not me). I bet Google would LOVE to help. (signed just_passing_through)
    • It wasn't that many actually and one or two put their hands to sorting it out. And just because I'm an admin that doesn't mean I'm technologically minded enough to even know what a script is, or to be able to identify a vandalbot or someone doing it by hand very very quickly. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 01:49, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • What we really need is a page-move log (similar to the other logs), with a rollback button for admins. And if there are no incoming links to the moved name, rollback would automatically delete it (so we don't have orphan "X on wheels" redirects lying around everywhere). -- Curps 23:17, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      • I have filed a bug report for the fact that the rollback feature can't rollback page moves. Really, I wish there was a damn swap function that allows us to swap page A with page B. -- AllyUnion (talk) 03:19, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

      • A bad idea, yes, but you could've allowed AliceCrypto to have a test on her own userpage. I don't see how blocking someone is justified in this case. Even if the proposal goes against all Wikipedia concepts. Assume good faith and point to relevant policies. Mgm|(talk) 12:36, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
        • She(?) wasn't interested in having a test in her own userpage. She immediately, following the announcement on the VP page, created Tony Blair/GrafWall. When I deleted it and told her that it wasn't appropriate and she should wait for consensus, she attacked me. I don't see any good faith here. But I have not blocked her. Yet.

  • User 84.154.xxx.xxx has been continuously vandalizing the page Safavids by replacing the content with nonsence and abusive words.--Tabib 12:38, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

User Tabib

User Tabib himself continuously vandalizes pages, by deleting pertinent editorial text and posting abusive nonsense instead. Most of his postings, particularly the ones on the pages Safavids and Talk, constitute POV or ethnically directed insults. His postings are prone to contain references to TURKS, TURKOMANS, TURKEYS and related TURKISH matters. Roughly 65 % of his other postings are concerned with editing wars and abusive attacks of fellow editors. He has attempted to incite others to team up against victims of his obsessive "Turkification" assaults, e.g. user Deli-Eshek. User Tabib may have severe personal problems, but Wikipedia ought not be his forum for exhibiting his deficits. --84.154.51.75 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • Now this is a weird case here. There were some Japanese articles that were on en.wikipedia that looked legit. Like, I read them, and they are about a husband and wife who are announcers with MBS. See my translations at Mareo Kamei and Keiko Furukawa. I thought this was a fine piece of knowledge to be adding. Also, when I looked at the links to the Japanese ones, there were no pages. So, I translated and transwikied. Then I got a message on my talk page saying that this user was banner from ja.wikipedia and just moved his articles to the en.wikipedia. It isn't really vandalism, but it does appear to be not quite kosher. The user over at Japanese wikipedia, [ja:%E5%88%A9%E7%94%A8%E8%80%85%E2%80%90%E4%BC%9A%E8%A9%B1:Lem], suggested we ban him. So, um, do we delete these seemingly fine (if not a bit short) articles and ban this user like the ja.wikipedia has, or do we just let it silde?! I have NO IDEA. What do you guys think? Jeshii 13:26, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
      • This isn't really a case of vandalism. If your knowledge of Japan is sufficient and you considered these people sufficiently notable and you are the author of the current English-language pages and endorse their content, then there's really not a problem. There are many cases where a possible problem user started an article and somebody turned it into a legitimate article. -- Curps 01:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

My edits are not vandalism! Anyone can see that, while my first edit was ironic coment on the biased nature of the article, all other were completely legitimate! I find these insinuations very insultive!

Also, my substantial edit (restoring a removed chapter from one of the previous versions) was reverted more than 3 times by user 151! He is a true vandal. He admitted to breaking the rule, by saying that my edits were vandalism, which they are not. I will respect the rule pointed to me, but will there be penalty for user 151??

    • Incredibly clueless newbie(?) returning to add a slew of weblinks regarding Anne Shirley. Did a strange edit on the Current events page which was reverted. Numerous warnings regarding questionable edits and weblink-only contributions dating back months. User was even blocked for a time. Apparently, s/he didn't get the message. I've left polite word on the talk page with instructions for creating a proper redirect. - Lucky 6.9 02:42, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • Removing and changing a lot of contents of the article Opus Dei (that I find a useful context) for the third time without voting consent. Looks like an edit war if this is the right term. Insulting an user in Edit Summary. I'll leave him a message if this is possible, I hope it will help. Someone has to edit History to remove the insult.Eleassar777 09:22, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Hey I just visited his talk page User_talk:66.20.28.21 and it seems like he was adding biased info on a whole bunch of pages. Someone should have a look at this. My opinion is that this is repeated vandalism and this user's IP should be blocked. Eleassar777 09:26, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • He seems to be a little off the wall, see his statements at: Talk:Holocaust denial. --brian0918&#153; 18:08, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

      • OK, I guess page-move vandalism is considered particularly heinous (although this was a user page rather than article pages). He was blocked for 24 hours back then, but I'll block indefinitely, since his edits are either outright vandalism or in some cases simply silly at the very least ("a European" → "an European"). Also, the page moves seem to have been his first contribution, so there's a good chance that the account was created simply for the purpose of page moves. -- Curps 09:50, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The Lawn Gnome Bandit has struck my user page. I'm trying to decide if I'll revert it. GabrielF 04:43, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I think we can consider the incident finished. FWIW the LGB posted the following on my talk page: "Hey, I know the whole gnome thing was probably vandalism and I agree that it should probably get removed, but I just wanted to see how long it would stay before someone took it down. Besides, even you have to admit that lawn gnomes are funny. --Tylerni7 04:50, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)" GabrielF 04:56, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • I'm taking back the previous comment; the same username has been fixing the damage. Weird thing is, during a short period the only contributions listed under that username were the inappropriate moves. Maybe some jerk managed to hack into his username for a while?

MCBastos 16:39, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Actually, they're two different users. The vandal (possibly Willy on Wheels) used the user name User:RdSmith4 to impersonate the admin User:Rdsmith4. The vandal copied the user and user talk pages to make it more convincing. Carrp 16:43, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

PHP

  • PHP is being vandalized by some sort of spam bot, which deletes large sections of the page and replaces them with external links. The edits come from multiple IPs, and typically happen very quickly, filling up the page history. These IPs are not open proxies but they are from such spam-friendly places as Brazil and Russia, and many of them are already on spam blocklists. I'm afraid this may be a testing run, since it is currently only happening on this one article. Please be on the look out. Rhobite 04:43, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
    • Not just PHP either. The last two were open proxies by the way, so I suspect the rst may be trojaned machines or similar. --fvw* 04:55, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)
      • If they're open proxies please block them indefinitely. Are you testing them yourself? I usually just use openrbl.org to check if they're on blocklists. Every IP I've checked is on some sort of spam blacklist. Most are in countries known for spam, the last one was in Hong Kong. Oh yeah I came here to ask, should we protect PHP for a while? Although that would probably just drive them on to another target. Rhobite 06:15, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
        • I've protected the article for now. Did it before I even read this.  :) Which IDs are the proxies? RickK 06:52, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
        • Page just came out from protection, and already vandalized twice.. -Goldom 06:16, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
