Repeated vandalism of many pages. Thanks. -- Wmahan. 04:39, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)- Has been blocked indefinitely, though we'll be sure to see somebody unilaterally revert that. RickK 19:26, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
- Just for information, this is a returning vandal. A few days ago, I blocked User:Poocrack for 24 hours for exactly the same vandalism on Wikipedia:List of administrators and some other pages. Andris 20:09, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism of Rusty Foster -- Rhobite 04:09, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)
Image changed
- I had a friend upload an image of myself. I put it up on the board. I come on today and somebody has vandalized the original image to some plaque. It is at Image:Wheeler.jpg. There is no revision history for this image either. Can someone explain how this was revised without leaving a revision history? And I am getting sick and tired of the vandalism of this site. I have to waste a lot of time arguing and correcting and reediting things. I am getting sick and tired of this.WHEELER 23:41, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Fixed. I don't know what you're talking about; there was an older version listed at the bottom of the image page; I hit 'rev' and all was fixed. Remember, image pages don't work the same as regular pages. Because this isn't the place for this issue (and because it's been resolved now), please delete the whole 'image changed' section once you read it. grendel|khan 00:12, 2004 Aug 31 (UTC)

Talk Page vandalism
Several one-time vandals are creating accounts, then writing nonsense into Talk pages which have no articles associated with them. But each account only creates one article. Looks like some random bot. So far I've deleted three "articles":
- Talk:All the more strange by User:Day Room
- Just an example. This was the content of this page:
- Are you here Wake up fool Stop wishing on emptiness you bring pleasure to this place creating what you will destroy yourself wander in and out of my mind for a bit dance with the stranger see where he will take you to the end you desire to the end you deserve open to him like a wound let it run from you like the contents of what keep you alive step from the shadow and fear it follows you dance with your anger and mine dance dance dance squirm is there pleasure there do you desire more is it a secret you bear the mark of judge to world as it judges you rage, rage, rage feel all the power for yourself dwell as deeply as you feel experience with feeling what layes within the danger torment and pleasure you can bring to yourself

Vandal bot via various proxies
- There is a chronic problem with the most idiotic vandal bot in the history of the computer. It logs on via remote proxies from all over the world and dumps legit-sounding titles which it probably plucks from the Net followed by an echo of the title in the body of the article and nothing else. Occasionally, it comes through as a few random keystrokes or a small, nonsensical statement. - Lucky 6.9 22:06, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- There is also one who is a friend of many gay people. Again it comes from various IPs, it occasionally creates new articles but more often than not inserts "Mr Green our geography teacher is gay" OWTTE in various articles. If you revert it changes it's behaviour. Instead of main page edits it edits the reverters userpage informing everyone that the user is gay. Whoever is running it must sure like gay people, seeing as he knows so many! Theresa Knott (Hot net streak!) 22:31, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Is this the same vandal which puts "save page" into an otherwise empty article? RickK 23:40, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- LOL! Haven't seen the "gay bot," but Rick has it on the nose. That's the one. I guess the "Save Page Vandal Bot" is as good a name as any for it. I've run whois searches on the proxies and they come in from all over the world. Whoever is responsible is a trained monkey who knows just enough to be dangerous, yet has absolutely no imagination. - Lucky 6.9 00:16, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
80.58.4.111
- (User:80.58.4.111 | talk | contributions) Vandalised my talk page, with obscene comments in the edit summary, after I reverted his malicious edits of Second Life. Has done the same to other people reverting his edits. Probably what made him move to my user page, was the comment I put on a friend of his' talk page, requesting that he'd stop vandalising or be temp-banned. Works with User:209.173.230.188.

User is unresponsive, and places factually incorrect information on several pages. After this information is reverted, he replaces the information without discussion. He has blanked his talk page several times and has refused to comment on any of this. He was 24-hour banned by RickK two days ago, but now he's back. -- DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:23, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
- I have blocked the user for another 24 hours. If this behaviour continues after this period, I recommend a month-long block. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:41, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
- Came back and did the exact same thing again. I've blocked him for 5 days. RickK 23:49, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- User has returned as User:67.115.8.16. Blocked him for 5 days again. RickK 23:57, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
- User is now User:64.165.11.76. I haven't blocked him yet, but once he does anything really rash I'll block him for 5 days. He's already made some of his characteristic non-factual edits... I wish there were something more effective we could do... He seems totally uninterested in discourse, and a true vandal at this point. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:16, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

Repeatedly reverting to versions of the articles Metric time and Decimal time that are virtually without formatting and with large numbers of style/grammar errors. -- Grunt (talk) 14:56, 2004 Aug 20 (UTC)
- Not a vandal as such but more like a rather pig headed newbie. Still needs watching though because they are reverting formatting of times from e.g. 16.6 seconds to 16,6 seconds despite being informed that most of the english speaking world used a peroid as a decimal point not a comma. [[User:Theresa knott| ]] 17:07, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

User is putting "I'M EVIL!!!" in huge red letters on Template:In the news, which appears on the Main Page. Every time it's reverted he does a re-revert and insists on knowing why that's vandalism. WTF? I thought that the templates that go to the Main Page would be protected for this very reason. — Eisnel
- So explain to the idiot how it's vandalism. There's no point in getting stressed out over nothing. Once he knows how it's vandalism, it might stop. — 156.63.193.62 15:29, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Not really sure what this user is doing, but it involves massive changes to transwiki links. Repeatedly asked, refused to respond. Is either a bot or somebody going on into multiple pages without a concern as to what he/she is doing.

- He has been consistently adding to Hezbollah (as well as once to Hassan Nasrallah) some stuff on an unfounded theory regarding Hezbollah supposedly having total control over all of IDF elite units and intelligence. He doesn't discuss it, he just keeps reposting it. The style and contents of his writing is reminiscent of another vandal who was writing from IP addresses 216.109.1.*, who I believe was banned just before this IP started to post on this subject (see Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/United_Nations_Partisan_Forces_in_Lebanon_(UNPFIL)). I would be happy to discuss this with him, as I'm pretty sure it's sheer fantasy, but I cannot force him to talk about it (at least I don't know of any way). Am I going to have to revert his changes every other day?

Advertising for photography studio from 66.108.83.179
This user, presumably Clay Enos or an acolyte, has created articles on Clay Enos and on Enos's business, Streetstudio. Beyond that, the user is spamming external links into many articles, and even spam paragraphs. The stub on Richard Avedon needs expansion but not by saying that he inspired Clay Enos. The anon has created stubs on some obscure photographers that we didn't have before (Roger Fenton, William Shew) just to have more places to spam, so not all edits should be deleted.

Vandalized Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, then when Texture added the "test" template to their talk page, deleted it without comment. Probably same vandal as 134.253.26.9 below. RickK 21:30, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

This person created Morriston A.F.C., apparently simply in order to include offensive comments (and I mean offensive) about personal acquaintances. Deb 12:06, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

"Vandalism" is too strong a word, but I think the user is seriously misguided and is adding lots of copyvios from http://jzip.sourceforge.net/frobozz/frobttl.html. I gotta go now; can someone else please take a look at the contribs and the talk pages of this user as well as my own talk page (at the very top) to get the background? Thank you.

- User also removed the vfd notice from Great Sea, and blanked his talk page without responding to serious questions and comments. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:35, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
