Gon4z

He is back and has new tricks see here i.e. stealing images, claiming them as his and then releasing them as PD... plus insults, edit warring, ... well we know it all. As he came of a week long block and immediately returned to his well-known ways, can we end this now and block him once and for all? --noclador 00:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Noclador constant vandalizm

Prodego you have suspended me a couple of times now, unfairly might I add you seem to only look at one side, I really would like you too take a look at some of the vandalism User:Noclador has caused to nearly every single article that has to do with Albania or Albanians, BRDM-2, BTR-50, T-55, Type 59, Albanian Military, Albanian Army, Albanian Navy, Albanians he was been in violation of the 3RR rule is more than several occasions and I have not seen any action take against him, he removes sourced information like on the BTR-50 article he removed Albania from the operator section even though it had 3 sources for no reasons, he never uses the talk page to discus his edits, and he uses obsolete sources and even when he uses those he miss quotes them correctly like this one for example http://www.csees.net/?page=country_section&country_id=1&sec=8 it clearly states there are 373 tanks in service and yet his number is 79 I would really like to know where he got it from. He also has in some occasions changed my words in the talk page to make it seem like have attacked him so he can get be suspended, I don’t like to run to the admin for every little think like a little child runs to his teacher but User:Nocladordoes seem to, but I would really appreciate if you take look into him and see that I’am right and do something about him from editing those articles because he just seems to vandalize them, I would also like if you would open the Albanian military articles and let me fix them again as I did 3 months ago until he started to ruin them everything was sourced and well laid out, I would also appreciate it if you ban him from editing them again, because he surely will vandalize them again, for 6 months no one had problems with my edits but for some reason this guy wants a war with me, User:Noclador associate is User:MrMacMan but his more reasonable guy but he also has vandalized in the past a few articles. Well thanx in advance and I really hope you can take a look into this guyGon4z 01:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


Yes I can do that but since you have seem to have at least some knowledge I though it would be a good idea to discus this with you since its you who has suspended me and its it you who has locked the articles I don’t blame you and neither I’am I mad you are just doing your Job but you have been miss informed in this dispute tens why you have taken their side, just hope you can help I will also rise the issue there as weal, thanx for that.Gon4z 01:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


Prodego PLEASE man I have tried to be as nice as possible to this guy and still I’am trying he has clearly vandalized and has made me very angry. Not only that he is in violation of the 3RR rule in the BTR-50 article where for 3 times he has been removing my sourced information I have tried to talk to him in the talk page he has not replied, but what’s wore he has totally deleted the new article I have created today on TYPE 77 I spend 2 hours in that article today and he deleted it all that is really disrespectful you managed to suspend me for a week for a minor edit I think you can ban him for deleting a whole article, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do something about him Gon4z 01:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


Gon4z has been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for ongoing disruption, creating blatant copyright violations, incivility, worsening behavior, edit-warring coming right off his 4th block for the same, seeming inability to edit collaboratively, and a general pattern of worsening disruptive behavior.

Help

I'am new at wikipedia and have been trying to edit and have being doing so, I provide sources and everything to meet wikipedia rules but this guy User:Noclador keeps reverting my posts in almost every article I edit pls do something about him, I see I'am not the only one to have a problem with him. if you are unable to do anything can you refer me to other admins who I can complain to.

Deleting My Subpage

Hey. I understand where you're coming from as regards my adminship project. I feel unworthy of being an admin. I guess I never took it seriously. Thanks for bringing me to my senses. I have resolved not to be such an idiot about wikipedia.

However, saying that you pray that you never see a request for adminship from me is a little harsh. After I have gained experience in wikipedia, I might try to be a sysop. I hope by that time that I will have gained your trust as a serious wikipedian. I just feel that saying "never" is a little close-minded. J-stan 01:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Quite so J-stan, that is certainly not to be taken literally, there is no reason that if you do contribute I would not be perfectly happy supporting you in an RfA. Just because you don't completely understand the adminship position yet doesn't mean that one day you can't become an ideal candidate. After all, some admins start as vandals! I was just expressing my frustration at the whole status of WP:RfA, which has its flaws. I apologize if the comment had an effect I did not intend. Anyway, good luck, happy editing, and in answer to your question, average edit count about now is >4000. Prodego talk 02:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
No problem. Just a slight misunderstanding on my part. As for the edit count, >4000 is quite large compared to my 148 (I only started last summer). I noticed you have over 14000 edits. How long have you been on wikipedia? J-stan 17:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I have been on Wikipedia since September 2005, and have been an administrator since April 2006. Prodego talk 21:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Wow. 14k in two years. I gotta get going. J-stan 03:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry about your editcount, there is always someone with more: take BD2412, who used to average 100 edits a day. Prodego talk 04:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
My Goodness! J-stan 17:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Gon4z - 2nd sock puppet

user:Gon4z has created a new sock puppet: User:Naco-Taco. The user account was created June 17th, 2007 and the first edit he made was to upload the same copyvio image Gon4z uploaded Image:type-77.jpg. Afterwards he started to "edit" and did so only on articles Gon4z has inserted his unsourced edits too. And his edits consisted in solely reverting the articles to the last version of Gon4z or Gon4z's other sock puppet 82.35.34.170. some examples: 82.35.34.170 Version - Naco-Taco Version
82.35.34.170 Version - Naco -Taco Version
The same applies to T-55, BTR-50 and BRDM-2. He also added unsourced material to 9K38 Igla and made Albania a MIM-23 Hawk user- something that was completely unknown until now! After he headed to the Albanian Land Forces Command article, quadrupled the number of nortars to 600 and gave as reason: "I was looking at the source and the MORTAR article in wikipedia and it says heavy mortars are from 120mm to 240mm Albania seems to also have 160mm MORTARS so I have added those to" 28 minutes before he himself had changed the article 160mm Mortar M1943 to this unsourced number and now he uses this as his source! He than headed to his other sock puppet 82.35.34.170 (what a coincidence he knows about this) and inserted a indefblockeduser notice on this page!! He proceeded to triple the number of Albanian dead on the List of wars and disasters by death toll because the "Kosovar article states that there were more than 15,000 -25,000 causelties from both sides both civiliana and military" - which it doesn't... but the most annoying part is his "contribution" to the Talk:Albanian Land Forces Command: "LoL, this article has big a big battle field for some months, by the looks of it well since one of the users has been banned maybe now it can get back to how it’s supposed to be." "it can get back to how it’s supposed to be" and what he means by that, we all know. What can be done now to stop this/him? --noclador 08:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You unprotected Evangeline Williamson and started a edit war with two new users. [1]--Migospia 00:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for reprotecting. I believe my last revert was to the most recent stable version. (I'm not an editor on that article). If you'd like to revert to that version, it would undo all the edit warring that has been going on since it was unprotected. Thanks. Lsi john 02:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I can't, that would violate the protection policy. In fact, I should really fully protect the page. Prodego talk 02:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I thought it had been fully protected. heh.. ok, i reverted the vandalism/warring from the new accounts. Thanks. Lsi john 02:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I just jumped in to help because Migospia droped a note on my page. I think she thought I was an admin, because another admin mistakenly said I was earlier. (I've left him a message that I'm not).. anyway.. you have it under control... so.. i'm off. thanks. Peace. Lsi john 02:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
BTW, There is an open request at an/page protection. Should I remove it, or do you want to mark it? Lsi john 02:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Your undeletion

Prodego, you've restored edits to my page that had previously been deleted, and for good reason. Can you please re-delete, and wait until I've had a chance to look through them myself? Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 03:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

It's okay, Prodego, someone else has done it. SlimVirgin (talk) 04:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I'd like an apology from SV on a wikipedia page about her 5/27 accusation that I am a sockpuppet that can't be incidentally erased, the removal of my username from this [2], an apology from the editor of this [3], and I'll apologize in return to SV and Crum375. Mongo? No way. Piperdown 04:32, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I can't force anyone to do anything. Prodego talk 16:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

I left a message on my admin coaching page. Thanks! Greeves (talk contribs) 21:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Should happen (hopefully) anytime in the next few days, would you mind taking an in-depth look for me (like you said on my admin coaching page)? Cheers, Tim{speak} 20:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm having second thoughts, and I'm afraid that the amount of edits I have now will not satisfy the edit counters - I'm gonna go in maybe a few weeks, maybe a few months - depends on when I can improve my edit count to a good level. I'll let you know again though when I feel I'm ready. Tim{speak}

RE:

I guess it would be simplest to restore it. Feel free to go ahead and do so. ~ Wikihermit 00:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

That was fast. Thanks! ~ Wikihermit 00:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks from me too. I had assumed he was leaving given he had left an edit summary "finishing up" and requested deletion per m:Right to vanish but I guess not! Cheers for undeleting my deletion. Best regards. Will (aka Wimt) 00:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
