WikiPedia:Vandalism in progress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


This cleanup page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators.
(please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared up)

This page documents vandalism in progress. Please report users engaging in vandalism at the top of the "Current alerts" list below. Please only use this page for repeated malicious vandalism, not for one-off edits, or newbie tests. If you discover newbie testing and feel like the user could use some help, please list them at Wikipedia:Clueless newbies. Except in cases of vandalbot or other rapid-fire attacks, please warn users and wait for further vandalism before listing them here. Do not list non-vandalism (see Cautions and alternatives below).

Please list the IP address or user name, pages touched, and damage done. Sign your name using ~~~~ after your report. Put the person's IP or username in the edit summary.

Cautions and alternatives 
Please do not bite the newcomers by listing newbie tests as vandalism. Instead, assume good faith and list them at Wikipedia:Clueless newbies. If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, list the edit on RC patrol. See NPOV dispute, Accuracy dispute and Requests for comment for content disputes. Page protection may be requested. Report three revert rule violations at WP:AN/3RR.
For quick administrator intervention of non-chronic cases, also try the experimental Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

User:Nat Krause

This guy is coping his POV-version into Anarcho-capitalism since days. --Alfrem 09:50, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Content disputes and edit-warring don't constitute vandalism. Your own complete blanking of the introductory paragraph to the article might, however. *Dan* 12:13, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
You tell nonsense. I deleted POV. Everybody knew it. Blanking is then something to what one can agree. --Alfrem 12:29, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The above is generally worth ignoring, but I would like to point out for the benefit of anyone who may be confused, that this matter is unrelated to the long-running series of edit wars and POV conflicts on anarchism, anarcho-capitalism, and related pages. - Nat Krause 13:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • It might not be a bot after all. Ghost may have made that assumption (as I did) based on the edit history... but the IP address traces back to the "University of Northern Iowa," and I have doubts as to whether somebody would be able to run a bot on such an IP without being caught. Still better keep an eye on it though... the edits that were made were POV and/or nonsensical enough to cause edit/revert wars. --Chanting Fox 21:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bijee

Please remove the user Bijee or at least talk to him. I have run into him on numerous occasions on articles related to Indian and Chinese history and martial arts history. I have a Ph.D in history and his corrections to the articles are outright fabrications. He has changed the kalaripayattu article multiple times to reflect his point of view (South Indian) and is fabricating history. When asked in the discussion section to back up his history viewpoints he does not reply with any serious remarks. The user has changed articles to my knowledge relating to : tea (states the word is indoaryan), chinese chess (states that it came from chatarunga), acupuncture (states that India had acupuncture), Buddhism (states that it is from India and not Nepal), and kalaripayattu (states that it is the origin of all martial arts and that Bodhidharma was a kalaripayattu practioner who mastered the northern and southern styles in India) . I have run into similar individuals like him in conferences. Usually they are followers of a quasi-political organization called Hindutva and unfortunately are extremely biased in their views of India and its role in history. Kennethtennyson


  • Here we go again... this appears to be a content dispute, NOT vandalism. Take it up on RFC if its that big a deal. This is NOT the place for resolving this situation. --Chanting Fox 21:20, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)


User:Kennethtennyson did many anonymous edits from IP Address User:24.69.255.205, User:68.14.62.73, User:136.142.21.236. He Even did a vulgar post (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buddhism&diff=15548075&oldid=15548029) at Buddhism
On Xiangqi his vandalism was first reverted (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Xiangqi&diff=15544214&oldid=15535460) by author User:Gwalla I only repeated the same. I am not an expert on Tea, Kalaripayattu, Origins of chess or Xiangqi, but when followed his edits I found his edits made a big change in article without any discuss on the Talk pages, so I revered it back. If he is interested in discussion he could do that with other authors on those topics.
One again I dont have any problem in what he changed, but only how he changed, so no issue of content dispute -Bijee 23:05, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am most emphatically not the IP addresses that you have placed above and I most certainly do not go around placing vulgar comments in articles on Buddhism when I am a practicing buddhist. kennethtennyson

RMS Titanic

  • This page has been the target of a number of attacks on June 19 and June 20. The June 19 attacks came from the IP 152.163.100.196 (talk • contribs) which is an AOL proxy. Following my tackling this vandalism (including a 24 hour block on this IP) my userpage and a number of pages that I have contributed to have been attacked by a number of different IP addresses—all AOL proxies, and the nature of the vandalism suggesting that it is the same (or a related) user. The most concerted attack came from 152.163.100.200 (talk • contribs), an AOL proxy which I also blocked for 24 hours. The June 20 vandalism of RMS Titanic has been of a similar nature and has come from 64.12.116.196 (talk • contribs) and 205.188.116.202 (talk • contribs) both of which are AOL proxies, and again editors who reverted the vandalism have had their userpages vandalised from AOL proxies.

Lothar

The entry Lothar was vandalized: I was reading a section about the agreement of Strassbourg and when I clicked on the link for Lothar I got this:

For other uses of this name, see Lothair

Lothar is a fictional robot in the Metabarons universe. He is presented firstly being in service of the Metabaron (the Nameless), who asks Tonto to narrate to him of his master's history. Tonto who has been served the Metabarons for decades, unlike Lothar who is relatively new in the Metabaron's ownership, tells the saga to him, being thus the main narrator of the comic book series.

During the main story (outside of the narative), Lothar loses his body and a new one is constructed for him. It is revealed in the process that he in fact is Steelhead, the Metabaron's grandfather, who returned to reclaim his office. The Metabaron however managed to erase his memory and transform him into a robot, serving him.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>What has this got to do with the Franks?!!!

  • To my untrained eye, this does not appear to be repeated, malicious vandalism. If you are knowledgeable in this area, I encourage you to add appropriate content, or start a discussion on the Talk:Lothar page. --Alan Au 18:12, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • On further investigation, this seems to have originated from a redirect and subsequent disambiguation. Probably this should be nominated for cleanup. --Alan Au 18:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Okay, fixed. --Alan Au 18:37, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • (cur) (last) 14:21, 19 Jun 2005 Emico m (added dispute tag. detractor added a lot of stuff.)
  • (cur) (last) 14:18, 19 Jun 2005 Onlytofind (Emico, you are not the judge on factuality for this article. Why not let Ealva and Glenn take a look at this? Also removed turkey accusation for lack of proof and dubious necessity.)
  • (cur) (last) 14:08, 19 Jun 2005 Onlytofind (Revert to original edit by Raygirvan)
  • (cur) (last) 07:58, 19 Jun 2005 Emico m (Too much info. need time to check veracity)

--Emico 13:49, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note to administrators: see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#User:Emico. This is primarily a content dispute, not vandalism. This user, Emico, is currently the subject of arbitration on grounds including abuse of other editors and NPOV violation. In my view, these reports of vandalism are bogus, and directed at editors who refuse to abide by his attempt to be the sole (and religiously biased) arbiter of edits on Iglesia ni Cristo topics. RayGirvan 19:39, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was left with no recourse but to ask for help. I felt you and Onlytofind were abusing wikipedia's freedom to edit to stifle my freedom to edit. All I asked was for the both of you to cite sources. As of this writing, you removed the item because you did'nt have a source and is probably just an invention. --Emico 23:32, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Bill, the 3RR rule DOES NOT apply to reverting vandalism to an article if it is a clear case of vandalism and not a case of being at odds over the point of view of the editor you're reverting. (That doesn't apply if their point of view has no factual basis.) --Chanting Fox 21:41, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • This user is the same as Shrek32, and 216.83.121.194. He continues to add entries in various lists of video games, based on what seems to be his own fanfiction (he also adds entries for his own fanfictions - "Amber Sparks," "Brooke Fox," and "Kara Monichetti". I'm getting tired with having to revert seemingly endless lists of Playstation Portable, 2, and 3, Nintendo GameCube, Gameboy, and DS, and various movie studio entries. The below entry is my first ViP complaint about this anonIP.
    • This user's nonsense entries are generally about 4-8 year-old female antiheroes who live in the Marvel universe. He often describes his heroes as "a parody of [Marvel comics superhero]". They are ALL FICTIONAL and he has added entries for them and their video games into pretty much every single Video Game list. He has also added false entries for their movies in several lists of movies. I have been tracking this user, and his logins all seem to come from IPs in South New Jersey. It's very annoying - he is very persistent; all of the articles he has created were speedied or VfD'd. jglc | t | c 04:04, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

69.241.26.165

Seems to be a pattern of vandalism (along with some serious edits) coming from 69.241.26.165 (talk • contribs), eg List of dog breeds. I see there was a "final warning" on his/her Talk page on 6 June; time to block? The genuine user(s), assuming there are such sharing the IP with this vandal, can always get an account.

24.60.128.48

Has returned to insert incorrect voice attributions to many Thomas the Tank Engine articles. This user appears to be the 'cartoon vandal' who also edited from IP 24.60.133.207 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=24.60.133.207) on June 7. Both IP addresses are broadband services from comcast.net in Boston, MA. I have checked the validity of each edit before reverting them and I have left another message on the talk page.

    • Vandalising various pages, notably George W. Bush and Robert Byrd so far. Warned each time, now up to test4 with no end in sight.—chris.lawson (talk) 02:35, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Check the time stamps, Bunky, you gave me two warnings for the same edit. (Restoring the "Disputed" tag to the Kleagle Byrd page isn't Vandalism either, Chief. It has been there for weeks and was unilaterally removed today.)
        • Your first edits on George W. Bush and Robert Byrd were unquestionably vandalism. Please cut it out. Rhobite 03:15, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
          • As were his second, and third, and fourth, and fifth, etc. This guy has not made one single useful contribution yet.—chris.lawson (talk) 06:10, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
            • OK Napoleon, whatever floats your boat and makes you feel like a "big man." LOL
              • Now resorting to name-calling and general time-wasting. Can we ban this joker yet?—chris.lawson (talk) 15:53, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • So then we agree I only have two warnings then, correct? (Not sure what this Test4 nonsense means)
  • Let's agree that you won't vandalize any more pages. There is no set number of warnings before an admin is allowed to block you, and you aren't "allowed" a certain amount of vandalism. Rhobite 03:26, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

My edits were legitimate. This is a content dispute. See his talk page. He calls everyone who with a different opinion a vandal. Also I did not add inappopriate pictures to articles. One was a train and I put a picture of a train. Another was a bicyclist and I added a picture of a bicycle. THAT IS NOT VANDALISM! Adding a picture of a penis to either would be vandalism. Screwing around with someone's talk page like you did mine was vandalism. Content disputes are not vandalism. Poetatoe 00:07, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

      • Wikipedia's official guidelines dictate that we assume good faith. This guideline also explicitly directs editors to do so when it can be reasonably inferred "that something is a well-intentioned error," enjoining then against simply labelling such incidents as vandalism, which Willmcw did on the Eric Foner article. Based upon his comment above and elsewhere, including his own talk page, it appears to me that Poetatoe has a difference with Willmcw over the content of this article, in which case the proper good faith response would have been to invite him to discuss this difference at Talk:Eric Foner (and indeed I hope that he will do so as I am interested in what he has to say). Furthermore, I am not aware that User:Willmcw has the authority to issue "warnings" against other editors and in following Poetatoe around Wikipedia, as also appears to have occurred, he has behaved contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia:Don't_bite_the_newcomers, prompting Poetatoe to respond with a not-so-far-fetched allegation of stalking. In the interest of full disclosure, I have had similar problems of my own with this same editor's lack of the good faith assumption and behavior towards me that could be described as wiki-stalking of my edits, thus I can sympathize with Poetatoe's rather rude welcoming to wikipedia given by this same editor and hope that the latter will take a moment to remind himself that we operate on good faith assumptions around here absent legitimate cause for doubt.

        • 19:00 6/17/05 I make a minor edit to the [Eric Foner] page consisting of a new fact and a neutral point of view wording change.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Foner&oldid=15363813) 21:04 6/17/05 you show up, begin deleting material in the article that was there months before I even joined wikipedia [14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Foner&direction=next&oldid=15363813) and demand I provide a source for it on the talk page as if it were somehow my own and as if you could not be troubled to do so. So you tell me. Rangerdude 05:52, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
